Navigating therapy for the first time can be daunting, especially for teens and young adults. As a licensed counselor, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and understanding. My approach is relational, focusing on meeting you where you are in your therapy journey and creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions.

Choosing a therapist can be a difficult process. It is important to find someone that you feel comfortable with and can confide in, and that the therapist you choose is skilled and experienced. Over the years I have enjoyed working with individuals, couples, and college age adults. This includes adults suffering from mood disorders, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, PTSD, couples going through difficult times, separation, and divorce. A major part of my practice has been my work with women to address issues of self esteem, depression, and anxiety.

Not accepting new clients at this time. Are you looking for a better way? As we work together, you can optimize the strengths you already possess, develop insight, and learn techniques that can help you heal yourself and nurture your relationships. The goal of therapy is to begin to see yourself and others in new and more productive ways. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and teens (from the age of 15) of all backgrounds, sexual orientations, and interests. Often, work with teens will include some level of interaction with caregivers so that constructive adjustments can be made and sustained.

My approach to psychotherapy is focused on increasing self-understanding and changing longstanding patterns in thinking, feeling or relating to others that are no longer working. I view psychotherapy as an open-ended, collaborative relationship aimed at helping individuals look inward to find new solutions, develop healthier patterns and achieve emotional balance. My treatment philosophy is based in the Bio-psycho-social Model, in which a person's problems are understood in the context of their unique biological, psychological, social and environmental influences, and therapeutic approaches and interventions are chosen accordingly.

Do you struggle with living in a state of overwhelm that affects your work, home life, or relationships? Are you finding yourself strongly reacting to seemingly small things, and wondering, “what’s wrong with me?” Do you feel out of touch with yourself, outside of yourself, shutting down mentally & emotionally? Are you feeling lost, unheard, or betrayed in your relationship? If you can answer "yes" to any of these questions, then you have come to the right place, and there is hope for you. In the work we do together, you will be able to have more moments of contentment, assuredness, and power over your own wellness.

I’m a counselor who takes a playful, interpersonal, brain-based approach to helping children and families overcome challenges. I want to help children and families find the skills they need to manage the physiological effects of stress in challenging moments. I believe that parent involvement is the most significant driving force in helping children better manage big emotions. I take a collaborative approach in working with parents and children. Together, we will explore the underlying challenges that are impacting behavior, rather than focusing on behavior alone.

Now enrolling Breakfast Club (Mom's group for all ages) starting 9/7/24. My individual caseload is closed. Many people search this website to find the right therapeutic fit and feel instantly overwhelmed and unsure what to look for. Deciding it's time to ask for help can be a daunting and downright scary task. Finding the right therapist is like trying on shoes, you may have to try on a few pairs before you find the right fit. Once you find the right fit, it's time to start walking!

My specialization is trauma-specific and gender-informed treatment for female, femme and gender expansive experiences of trauma and dissociation, working with the spectrum of trauma-related disorders ranging from single incident PTSD to complex trauma and dissociative disorders. EMDR scaffolds my approach to treatment, along with extensive trainings in ego state therapy and sex therapy. My default setting is being authentic and this shows up in session as caring & creative, along with puns and a nerdy sense of humor.
