Greetings and welcome to my page. Everyone has a story that matters. Telling our story benefits us in many ways. It connects us from the past and future to our present lives. It is through these stories, that healing and growth can happen and a more resilient you can arise.

I enjoy working with couples, adults, and teens to guide healing, positive change, and growth. Couples: I support couples from all backgrounds to improve communication, conflict patterns, and heal from relational wounds. My work is grounded in the Gottman Method, Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), and tailored to the unique needs of each relationship.

Do you feel stuck but also don’t quite know where to start to make positive changes in your life? Most of us have been there. In this increasingly complex world it can be difficult to create moments of peace and contentment, and listen to our inner voice. We are constantly bombarded by different types of stimuli. Despite so many ways to communicate with people, sometimes it feels like no one is really listening to what we have to say. How are we supposed to foster joy, gratitude, have satisfying and meaningful relationships like this? If you have had these thoughts a little too often, maybe it is time for us to work together.

I have current openings for ongoing and single session visits (designed to be as needed by you and as fits into your schedule). I understand and appreciate the urgency of accessing support when it is most needed - and not after months on a waitlist. With almost 15 years of experience providing on-demand services in healthcare settings, I am dedicated to providing accessible, whole-person care that empowers you to make meaningful changes when you need it. By providing appointment availability every week, my goal is for you to have the chance to receive compassionate, science-backed and effective care when it matters most.

I’m an individual & family therapist with a background based in research and evidence based practice. I provide support for kids, adults & caregivers in transition & needing support with life’s many challenges. I specialize in skill building for friendships, trans affirming treatment, emotional dysregulation, confidence, general anxiety & grief. My goal is to provide a space for adults, parents & children to engage in therapy to promote strong bonds within themselves & community, and become a self-sufficient unit outside of my care. I look forward to connecting with you and/or your family!

I am continually inspired by the depth and breadth of the human experience. With a passion for learning about individuals, groups, and systems across varied backgrounds, I seek to support clients in being heard, understood, and empowered. My bachelor's degree in language studies and master's degree in social work allow me to carefully consider the socio-emotional experience of an individual, while accounting for the unique ways in which we express, perceive, and develop meaning. I offer tools and resources for practicing coping strategies outside of sessions, based on client interest. I am open to new and eclectic approaches.

Fall brings many transitions and for a lot of kids and parents/caregivers, back-to-school worries. For adults, the upcoming season can feel like a new beginning, but what if you are unsure where to start? If you are looking for support for yourself, your child or your family, I have current openings Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. I want to hear about your hopes and dreams and co-create a plan for you to meet them.

Do you find yourself grappling with your sensitivity or find yourself overwhelmed by the weight of feelings that arise within you? Welcome. I work well with folks looking to lead a life with more honesty, flexibility, and hospitality for their emotional experience. By challenging black-and-white thinking, harsh narratives, and helping you with meaning making around your emotional experience and responses, therapy provides an opportunity allow you to connect better with yourself, and those in your relational orbit.

I work with teens and adults who identify as quirky/nerdy, highly-intelligent, introverted, highly-sensitive, or as having ADHD or Autism (or some combination of these). Those with these traits often share something: a sense of outsider-ship, of not quite belonging. This can lead to loneliness, shame, isolation, depressions, self-loathing--all that fun stuff.  I, myself, have 3 or 4 of the above traits, AND was homeschooled on top of it, so my own sense of outsider-ship was crowned with awkward homeschooler social skills :) Working, both on self-acceptance, and feeling like I belong, is something I enjoy sharing with my clients.

I admire the courage it takes to seek help and make change, and believe everyone has the capacity for healing. I bring compassion and curiosity to my person centered work with clients. My approach is collaborative, feedback driven, strengths based, and often infused with play, art, and nature therapy techniques. While the work we do will be as unique as each client, I am most inspired by internal family systems, emotionally focused therapy, solution focused brief therapy, and AEDP.

Whenever you think of talking with someone, thoroughly explaining everything from how you feel today, or how you have felt for years, or to the choices you are facing, or how your body and sense of yourself alters things, and you wonder, how do I find that "right" person to talk to? You have found them. Adolescent or adult, individual or a couple, call me for a free consultation, and let's see where to go from here!

My approach to therapy is client centered utilizing evidence based therapies and customizing treatment to the client. I specialize in couples and individual treatment.

I am genuinely passionate about helping young women navigate early adulthood with all its challenges and complexities. Coping with anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression can often impact the pursuit of what you truly want in life—both individually and in relationships—bringing waves of despair and moments of discouragement that often feel overwhelming. These fears can be all too real and can leave you feeling lost and alone. I am dedicated to walking alongside you as you explore your emotions and feelings, discover your inner resilience, and take steps toward self-compassion and a greater sense of trust in who you are.

Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of negative interactions with your partner, in your closest relationships, or even with yourself? I specialize in working with couples, individuals, and families to foster deeper connection and security within their relationships with self and others. Some common issues that I work with are marital & relational distress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Together, with curiosity and compassion, we will explore the places where you feel stuck and create new ways of interacting with yourself and others to bring greater healing and flourishing in your life.

My mission is clear: to guide individuals towards long-term solutions, instill healthy coping mechanisms, and cultivate positive relationships. For this reason I am drawn to clients who share a desire for overall well-being and are ready to confront negative tendencies. This often involves exploring challenging questions, a process that leads to a deeper understanding of oneself. In order to do this I delve into my clients' histories, recognizing that understanding the past is crucial to addressing present challenges. I am dedicated to cutting through the noise and fostering honest communication within a safe and supportive space.

I work with men who have difficulty identifying with their feelings, struggle with depression and anxiety, or have issues with their work/life balance. My clients typically struggle with expressing themselves in their relationships. They feel lonely, hopeless, and isolated. They are overworked and under loved. In our work together, I will give you support, feedback and insight, and constructively challenge patterns and beliefs that may be getting in your way. Together we can strive to understand the roots of the struggles you are experiencing in your life.

I specialize in the treatment of trauma. If you are seeking therapy with the goal of moving beyond your past, I can help. You may find yourself responding in the same ways to the same triggers despite your best efforts to change. Together, we will gain insight into these patterns and develop a plan to create lasting improvements in your life. I believe everyone is deserving of support in their pursuit of wellness. I am here to assist you in your efforts toward meaningful change–whether that entails processing traumatic experiences, managing depression and anxiety, or you’re simply ready to take life in a new direction.

Are you struggling with loss of identity and heightened anxiety? Do you experience anger and feelings of powerlessness? This can be a common experience for those with marginalized identities. I'm an ideal fit for those struggling with issues related to sexual health, neurodivergence, and/or systemic trauma…and those from marginalized backgrounds. In addition, I am a trained death doula who enjoys working with chronic illness and grief. Together we will reduce shame and guilt and increase self-esteem. You deserve to feel seen and heard - you deserve to take up space and to feel empowered.

You are likely seeking relief and clarity to thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that are not working for you. Simply put, something is stuck. I work with people to transform painful and frustrating experiences. For some, this looks like grief work. Others explore relationship struggles. I work with clients to bring awareness to their body, mind, and spirit to assist them in growing a deeper sense of their stories and desires. My ultimate goal is that you will have a growing sense of what it means for you to engage your world with a deepening sense of aliveness.
