Hi. Welcome. If you’re here that means you are taking steps to support your mental health. That’s HUGE. This first step can be the hardest part for some people. Somewhere along the line, we learned it is not ok to ask for help. But there is no need to go it alone. As humans we are wired for connection. Often, we actually need relationships and community to get us through our toughest challenges. My primary approach is somatic - engaging the whole person by including the body. You’ll become an expert of your own nervous system. And by getting in touch with underlying feelings and sensations, allow stuck material to move through.

Our individual experiences shape us - they inform our behaviors, perceptions, and attitudes about ourselves and the world around us. In particular our experiences of grief, loss, and trauma have a significant impact on who we are as adults. My work in addictions has shown me the implications that unresolved childhood trauma and grief has on a person, and how it shows up in adulthood. Unprocessed emotions are stored in the crevices of our mind, waiting for the opportunity to be expressed. My goal is to help you process stuck emotions, grief and trauma in a way that works for you, and at your own pace.

I have a passion for supporting partners, families, and individuals in the queer community and who identify as neurodivergent. As a queer and neurodivergent therapist, I understand the unique challenges and triumphs that come with navigating experiences and relationships from these lived experiences. My goal is to create an inclusive environment where all expressions of love and identity are celebrated and to support clients in being their authentic self, embrace their identities, and build healthy relationships.

I cherish the power that relationships can have—how we create, preserve and nurture them with one another and with ourselves. Throughout my personal journey, I have experienced the firsthand power of a secure space to delve into, revisit and examine the complexities of life and the relationships included throughout. With care and kindness, I look to provide the same secure environment to those seeking a deeper understanding and connection toward self as well as with others.

Transformations often feel isolating and overwhelming; life-affirming changes may create distance from the people you care about. When we question ourselves, its hard to know where to turn for perspective. I love working with folks who see themselves as outside the gender and relationship mainstream; it takes a lot of courage and can also be painful to navigate. We can dig into what your identity means to you and how to embody it while building a life worth showing up for.

Welcome, and thank you for taking the first courageous step in finding a therapist. It can be a daunting task, from determining if it is the right fit for you to finding confidence in your own capacity to grow and heal. I specialize in developing a collaborative relationship with clients who may have challenging relationships with food and their bodies, struggle with intimacy issues, anxiety, depression, and pregnancy and postpartum difficulties.

I empower clients to experience the best version of their relationships, support clients through family transitions, and assist parents in becoming the type of caregiver they wish to become. These goals can be met through a variety of methods including individual therapy, pregnant and postpartum support, couples therapy, parenting support, family therapy, and premarital counseling. Navigating the nuances of family life can be extremely challenging which is why I take a client-centered and unique approach to each person whom I have the honor of walking with in their journey.

Sex Addiction is a black hole. Getting help via a therapeutic relationship where the client can be heard, accepted, empathized with and helped to feel safe can lead to the healing of freedom from this addiction. Tools for growth, new strength, a greater life balance, clarity are used. I have a passion for coming alongside individuals who are seeking freedom from this addiction, helping them to see a path to that freedom and walking alongside them on that precious journey. The greatest satisfaction I derive is from seeing an individual attain his or her life goals through this special therapeutic relationship. First consult is free.

Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed? Or all alone in your pain? I love working with women who are ready to heal, grow, and discover their authentic self. Trauma, substance use, and difficult relationships can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. Through our work together, we will transform your suffering into meaning, change, and growth. You can shift your old ways of relating to others into new and healthy connections. I really believe that you can build the life you have longed for.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. My approach is one of honesty & transparency. I will meet you with respect, kindness, & empathy, while also speaking openly & straightforwardly about our work together. I believe you are the expert on your own life & that I am merely a facilitator of healing and change.

My approach to therapy hinges on finding what works for you as an individual. This takes a lot of honesty and courage about the things with which you struggle. My commitment to my clients is to help them see these dynamics more clearly from a place of clarity, dignity, & respect and empower them towards a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling. I have a strong focus on relationships. This includes the connections we have with meaningful people in our lives as well as the relationship we have with ourselves. Naturally, topics such as belonging, accountability, and shared experience tend to be important conversations for us.

Is your past is a heavy weight that you're always carrying around? Are you tired of feeling stuck in old beliefs and patterns? You might want to start exploring some of the pain, but you don't know how to start. What if all that you've pushed aside for so long is so overwhelming it takes over? I get it—addressing our wounds can be scary, but maybe you’ve come to the point that you can’t push yourself aside anymore. I'm an EMDR certified therapist and I am passionate about helping women identify and untangle the deep wounds that are keeping them stuck. I'm here to help you process your story and find real, lasting healing.

Finding the right therapist is hard—harder than it ought to be. Especially when you’re already struggling. But it’s essential. The person of the therapist, their fit for you, and the therapeutic relationship are all more important to successful therapy than any degree, license, orientation, or even years of experience. Making the call and actually doing therapy is even harder—but worth it. Psychotherapy works. It can be one of the most significant and transformative experiences of your life. It's also a big investment of time, money and effort. I honor your courage and support your commitment to yourself to even consider it.

Finding a therapist can feel daunting and overwhelming—it's such an important choice! That's why I do my best to create an experience for my clients that is warm, welcoming, authentic, and trusting. Part of why I decided to become a therapist is because of how important I believe our relationships are to our well-being. While relationships can sometimes be sources of immense distress, pain, confusion, and loneliness, I also believe that when they are healthy and safe, they have the ability to soothe, comfort, and generate powerful change.

Do you experience frequent feelings of anxiety, self-criticism, and overwhelm when what you long for is a sense of ease, passion and connection in your life? Do you feel stuck in big areas of your life such as your relationships and career? Perhaps you don’t know how to talk to your friends and family about this because their advice doesn’t help, leaving you back in the cycle of feeling alone and stuck. I know you're tired of feeling trapped in these patterns, unable to be present. It's time to reclaim your power. I will help guide you to heal these negative patterns so you can experience emotional, mental and spiritual freedom.

Are you feeling like you've gone as far as you can with traditional talk therapy, and you're ready to dive deeper into your patterns, emotional wounding, attachment, and experiences in a different way? My trauma-informed, holistic approach, includes somatic, emotional, and cognitive processing and integration. My goal as your therapist is to help you understand your unique lens in life and bring awareness to what is keeping you stuck. Then we can work together to create a tailored plan to leads you back to a more connected, content, regulated, and embodied life.

Are you feeling stuck? Wanting to have more authentic relationships or strengthen your current relationship? Desiring a more loving and compassionate relationship with yourself? Needing to process past trauma or difficult experiences? Struggling with anxiety and depression? I can help. Life is hard and we can often find ourselves just going through the motions and maintaining the status quo. I invite you to reimagine something different.
