I work with individuals and couples, helping them tackle challenges with greater compassion and curiosity. Using evidence-backed therapeutic approaches, we'll utilize techniques you can practice outside of sessions, emphasizing attainable goals and long-term integration.

Schedule now through my website in my bio! You may feel like you keep finding yourself on the same path, no matter how many times you walk off. You may feel like everything inside is a knotted ball of yarn, mixed up and hard to follow. Or maybe you feel like you've run out of ideas on how to change or what to do. It's lonely, confusing, and frustrating to be in this position, like stumbling through a forest with no sun (or mountains!) to tell you which direction you're headed.

Trauma, grief, stress, and life transitions significantly impact our lives and functioning. If unaddressed, these challenges can feel unmanageable. They can cause you to feel hopeless, misunderstood, ashamed, and isolated. They can cause you to feel trapped in patterns of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, patterns you adapted to cope and survive, but which may no longer serve you. I believe all humans have an immense capacity to heal and grow. I also know that sometimes we get stuck and can benefit from some extra support. If you are feeling stuck, I am here to support you with finding your way out.

Hello and welcome! The human journey is inevitably messy at times. Despite the chaotic and confusing, there is always beauty to be discovered. I believe that every individual is deserving of connection, compassion, healing, and growth - even you! Sometimes it's hard to believe this for ourselves - oftentimes it's even more difficult to know where to start. It may be relieving to hear that you already have the resources within you waiting to be accessed. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that creating a safe space for authenticity and collaboration will help us to explore and navigate your unique path to healing.

Life can be challenging and inevitably ends up throwing us curve balls we don't expect or see coming. Because of life's intricacies, sometimes we need a space to come and sort them all out.

I would love to work alongside of you and collaborate in finding your strengths, learning new coping skills, and moving towards healing and a more fulfilled life.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? - Mary Oliver, A Summer Day. Unsure? Unsettled? I love helping teens and adults navigate the joys and challenges of daily life. I spent twenty years working in a busy health care organization in both an outpatient mental health setting seeing kids to geriatrics in individual, family, and group therapy and serving as the solo behavioral health specialist for the physician group of Kaiser Permanente.

Many of us feel like we are “stuck in a rut,” collecting some not-so-helpful habits and coping strategies throughout the years like souvenirs from trauma gone by. It's my goal to help you take inventory of what makes you uniquely you, and help you clear out the emotional clutter that may be holding you back. Are you or your child struggling to deal with conflict, or stress, in a way that feels healthy and effective? Have the tensions at home or in your relationship become overwhelming? Are you or your child dealing with self-esteem, identity development, or emotion-regulation challenges?

Sweet! You made it this far because looking for a therapist is half the battle. I specialize in helping young adult women who experience anxiety, grief or family member struggling with addiction.

I'm open to clients from all walks of life and work diligently to support those from marginalized communities such as LGBTQIA and Persons of Color. I'm so excited to meet you and can't wait to get to work!
