Being human is weird and messy. Learning to live with our own thoughts and our internal narratives can be exhausting. I work well with clients addressing concerns related to anxiety, grief, burnout, relational challenges, adult family dynamics, work life balance, feelings of overwhelm, and depression. I have experience working with other health professionals on their own mental health journeys. I enjoy working with "overachievers" and "people pleasers" who are interested in living a life beyond their resume and reconnecting with themselves. I also enjoy supporting clients rebuilding life post brain injury and stroke.

Whether you are seeking therapy for a specific problem, undesired pattern, or relationship discord, I strive to create a therapeutic alliance with you to promote positive change. I have specialized training in FBT ( Family Based Treatment) for eating disorders and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).

My professional training supports individual, couples, and family therapy.
In the journey of our relationships, we encounter a rich tapestry of experiences. Joyful moments can fill our lives with happiness, while the challenging times can be deeply painful and difficult to navigate. It’s natural to have moments of struggle in our relationships. It can be difficult to work through conflict and communicate how we feel, especially when dealing with strong emotions. This is where my role as a therapist steps in. I am committed to creating a supportive and safe space where we can explore and embrace all parts of ourselves and our relationships.

It is my honor to be a helper in a way that no friend or family member could ever be.
Your relationship with family, friends, and, of course, yourself is of the most importance. I believe there is no good reason for you to be alone with grief, insecurity, low self-esteem, shame, loneliness, fear, worry, and anxiety. Reaching-out for help could be the most courageous gift you could give yourself. I would be honored to help you through these struggles. I would like to give you the very best individual psychotherapy or couples counseling. I do not offer a "band aid" approach to therapy, meaning, the process to feeling better is one that requires a confidential, authentic, and meaningful relationship with me.

I provided individual, couples and family counseling for adolescents and adults.
As a therapist, I strive to ensure that the largest influence on your life story is your genuine self, not judgment, worry, fear, or external entities. To do this, I help you: identify what has held you down or is holding you back, discard unnecessary judgment, and leave behind what no longer serves you, so that you can embrace positive change.

I approach clinical work from a relational and attachment-focused perspective. I believe that humans heal and change in relationship to others, and that our connection is paramount for us to be able to do meaningful and long-lasting work. My understanding of the world is also inherently systemic, such that each individual’s intersectional identities, as well as larger systems (e.g., family system, cultural groups and values, larger systems of oppression such as racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, sizeism), should be made explicit and honored in each session.

I see clients from a wide array of backgrounds dealing with various issues that have taken a toll on their ability to cope with life’s challenges. My prior experiences have engaged concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar, challenges regarding health and individuation within family systems, experiences of trauma, violence and abuse. I’ve been honored to sit with people who carry the uniquely isolating weight of being in relationships or in families where alcoholism is present.
