You're entirely powerless. You've begun isolating from your family. The shame is so deep that you're afraid to look them in the eye. They'll surely see the heavy secret you've been carrying. You've tried to be "good enough" for him, but the cycle of emotional abuse and manipulation is never-ending. You've begun to question your sanity. You made excuses for their behavior, his "moods". You've changed yourself to appease him and lost yourself in the process. You no longer recognize the woman in the mirror with her sad and tired eyes. You've disconnected from you friends and the things you once loved. You've lost who you are.

In my work, I help adults, couples, teens, and athletes with challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, shame, and self-doubt. I also assist with issues related to family, performance, relationships, and racial issues. Its been my experience that most people either have a clear idea of where they want to go or are in the process of figuring it out. I team up with people to help them pinpoint their goals and construct a bridge that will allow them to reach those goals. We build the bridge by increasing our insight & self-awareness, and we move across the bridge by working through pain and overcoming obstacles to growth and healing.

We are not meant to do life alone. Whatever challenges we may face, it can be important to have someone who can listen and provide support without judgment. There is a real capacity for healing through dialogue and encounter, and this is at the core of how I approach therapy. Bring your whole person: your hopes and your history, your pains and your joys, your faith and your doubt, the parts you are proud of, and your experiences of shame. My goal is to create space for you to bring all that you are, and to be recognized, respected, and received.

Navigating therapy can often feel intimidating and confusing. Taking up space and speaking your truth is challenging, especially when problems and experiences that may be distressing or painful are involved. But this process isn’t one that has to be tackled alone nor are you meant to. My approach is empowering and encouraging, and I strive to provide a warm, safe, and judgment-free space that allows us to collaboratively uncover your inherent strengths and build the life you envision for yourself.

I am a psychological associate who is currently accepting new clients via telehealth services. I enjoy working with adults and women who are looking to be healthier mentally and develop skills to manage cognitive and emotional stresses and responses. An intention that I have is to aid clients in healing the relationship with themselves, whether because of experiences in childhood, unhealthy relationships or other significant life events that clients have encountered. All of these experiences can complicate the relationship with ourselves, but with a safe and supportive space like therapy, we can learn to grow, heal and repair.

Change can be stressful. LIFE can be stressful! Sometimes, the transition might be the birth of a child, a new job, a new relationship or it could involve the loss of a loved one, or coping with a family member being ill. I am particularly passionate about helping women, especially those entering parenthood, those living with grief & loss or those entering a new stage of life. If you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sadness or even hopelessness, you do not have to feel alone. Those recurring thoughts of self doubt or painful relational patterns CAN be changed.

I know what it feels like to want to be your best self so badly but struggle with getting there. You have high standards, big goals, and lofty dreams and yet the day to day is a constant source of stress, anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, and shame. You want to be the best at everything-the best partner, friend, worker and have the best body and dream life. And with all this pressure then comes this sense that you're doing something wrong or that there is something wrong with you, and you'll never get there. However, what if I told you, none was the case. That the secret to your dreams is being you right now, alive, joyous, and free.

As the parent of a struggling child or teen, you may find yourself wondering what you can do to help them feel better. Adolescents are facing unique challenges that can feel overwhelming like social media, bullying, self-esteem issues, anxiety and depression. Not to mention some of the difficulties you may have faced as a family, like adoption, divorce, death of a loved one, or a traumatic event. You can see that your child is struggling, but they won’t even talk to you or they don’t have the language to communicate their big feelings to you. How do you help your child when you are not sure where to start? Well I am here to help.

Do you live in constant fear? Are you overwhelmed by grief? Do you find yourself feeling sad, withdrawn, irritable, and lonely? Are you struggling to communicate with your teen? Do you often wonder why they behave in certain ways? If so, I would like to help. We all would like to think we are strong enough to overcome these issues on our own, but there comes a time when we need to reach out for additional help. I specialize in treating trauma (specifically sexually abuse), mood disorders, and grief. I also have worked extensively with teens and their families, so I know the problems that are unique to teens.
