Welcome - I'm so glad you’re here! Looking for a therapist can be overwhelming. Sometimes frustrating. A little scary. But you’re here because you’re ready…or you think you might be ready, and you need some support to take the next step. Whether you know that you'd like to find an attachment-based therapist, or you aren't sure exactly what you're looking for, it's ok. I'm here to help.

Many people come to therapy to resolve problems in relationships, manage stress related to work and family, to learn how to adapt to minor and major changes in life, or simply to enhance one’s sense of self. I believe that clients are the experts in their own lives, and that my job as a therapist is to guide clients in resolving their issues by providing a wide variety of cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools and techniques that can easily be applied to daily life and that will alleviate suffering in a relatively short period of time.

Hi. Come talk about what matters to you most. Together, we walk. Explore. Meander. Clarify. I love what I do and will help you feel better. I can help with multicultural issues, relocation, or if you're struggling with addiction, overcoming trauma, relationships, questions about polyamory, depression or abuse. If life has lost its meaning and you’re missing adventure, intimacy, greater self-expression and passion, let’s go. If you don’t talk about it, it won’t get better.

I work with women and former athletes who are struggling with anxiety. Sometimes this includes issues with relationships, life transitions, grief, eating issues, sports performance, spirituality, self esteem, and codependency. You may be feeling not good enough, stuck in a toxic relationship, uncomfortable asking for help, scared of conflict, intimidated, taken advantage of. You can achieve, tough it out, and make other people happy, but aren’t really happy yourself.

I believe that the meaning of life is to tell one’s story. Everyone has a story to tell and we unconsciously share our stories everyday through words, actions, and interactions, despite whether or not someone is listening or willing to put the pieces together. The journey that we each take through life shapes us with each choice, decision, and coping strategy. I chose to become a counselor because I want to listen to those stories and help you to piece your puzzle together. I strive to create a safe space to explore, experiment, understand, and grow into yourself as you would like to become.

I have worked in several areas of mental health care and have truly found my purpose and passion in assisting those who struggle with trauma and/or addiction. I understand how trauma has been locked within the psyche and having an individual feel as though they are stuck within themselves. I understand that addiction was a solution to several problems at the time because it allowed relief but in reality it only masked the underlying issues. My goal for each of my clients is to have them recognize their own strengths and abilities so they may continue or begin to live meaningful lives.

Have you struggled to get and stay organized - despite trying every possible planner, routine, and system? Have you noticed that you have difficulty relaxing, even when you have time to yourself? Have you ever been told that you move around or space out a lot? I specialize in working with adults with ADHD and I can help. You might have been diagnosed with ADHD as a child or you might have gotten diagnosed just last week. Our work together can help you process any anxiety or shame around ADHD symptoms. I can help you navigate social, relationship, and work settings, and help you better understand your brilliant neurodivergent brain.

Overwhelmed with the fear of not being good enough? Worrying about how to build and maintain relationships? Feeling stuck, even though you're trying so hard to move forward? Difficulties in life are painful and frustrating. However, these challenging moments can also be the “trailheads” leading to a self-discovery path. The essential goal of my work is to help you discover, access, and trust your inner wisdom and strength. So you will get unstuck, reach personal goals, and continue personal growth, even after the therapy session ends.

I specialize in working with clients who may have experienced trauma and those that are experiencing relational struggles - particularly codependency as well as self-esteem and self-worth issues. Are you struggling to find a healthy relationship? Do you tend to lose your sense of self when you enter into relationships? Or perhaps you are struggling to open up to others and are struggling to let your guard down? I also enjoy working with clients who are recovering from childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, and CPTSD.

Hi, and welcome. I’m so glad you are here taking this step on your health journey. Please send me an email with your info and phone number and we’ll get you scheduled for a consultation or intake appointment, depending how you’d like to proceed. Most of my available open spots for appointments right now are mornings and afternoons. My evening spots tend to stay really full. I really enjoy being a therapist, specifically helping my clients thrive while treading anxiety, ADHD, and everyday life, including job stress and parenting stress.

I am interested in wellness and holistic approaches to therapy. My work focuses on helping my clients achieve growth. Growth can take many forms in one's life such as: improved relationships, improved sense of self, transition across barriers, achievement of goals, career success, reduction of painful/unwanted symptoms, etc. My approach focuses on understanding the core of suffering and stagnation while uncovering what stands in the way of growth. I now provide Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy as a optional compliment to therapy.

Living in today's society can pull you in different directions, making you feel lost, hopeless or overwhelmed. Life's pressures and expectations can leave you feeling like you have little control over your own story. Let's rewrite your narrative together. I offer a safe and judgement-free environment where you can explore your identity, reclaim your agency, and become the author of your unique narrative. I also aim to support you in acknowledging systems of oppression and other sociocultural factors of a presenting concern in order to separate you from the problem and work towards depathologizing you mental health.
