Life can be challenging, sometimes we don't know what is causing us to be uncomfortable; we just know that we are.

I help my clients find peace and power in exploring their transitions and making it an opportunity to strengthen their relationship rather than break it.
Relationships have the power to create great healing or great hurt, especially our romantic and family relationships. Going through big life changes, like welcoming a new baby or getting married, can leave you feeling excited, anxious, and out of control. During these times of transition it's easy to feel like you 'should' be feeling more excited and less worried, and not know who you can open up to and share these feelings with. You hope your partner might feel the same way since you're in it together but, you're starting to feel more distant than ever and are unsure where to start to make things better.

I offer an array of services centered around the needs you bring. Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, relationship difficulties, school struggles, or difficult transitions. Needing someone to talk to is human, or writing or art feels safer if you do not like to talk. I am a therapist committed to listening to you and giving you a space in whatever capacity you may need. I typically see anyone 12+ (I have a huge population of young adults.) Have a seat, bring your coffee and the things on your mind.

I am able to support co-parents as they navigate relationship transitions and find new ways of connecting emotionally after having children.
Co-parents often express frustration over feeling disconnected from one another. Many view their child’s behavior as a direct reflection of their parenting, which can lead to stress and misunderstandings. My goal is to help you shift this perspective, seeing your child's actions as a way of communicating their needs. The transition to parenthood can intensify emotional challenges. I assist parents in navigating the complexities that arise during pregnancy and early parenthood. I empower parents to create a stable, nurturing environment for their families and feel comfortable throughout the perinatal period and beyond.

Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis are two well-established forms of talk therapy; they have been used for well over one-hundred years. These therapies help people explore their inner thoughts and feelings in the privacy of a professional relationship. These private conversations are different from talking with a friend or family member; they are confidential, nonjudgmental, and personal.

I work extensively with tweens, adolescents, young adults, and adults in seeking relief from anxiety and related disorders, depression, ADHD, gender and sexual identity issues, developmental & relational trauma, self-esteem, and healing from attachment and childhood trauma where individuals have navigated a history of unmet needs and frustrating attempts to get them met. I also have a strong interest in working with adolescents in their transition to high school and/or college, stress management, emotional development and maturity, rejection from peers, family conflict, and friendship/interpersonal relationship issues

I work with clients on issues of living with marginalized identities, trauma occurring at all ages, parenting, grief and loss, adult neurodivergence, gender and sexuality, family estrangement, addiction, stigmatized mental health diagnoses, relationship challenges, and much more.
I love supporting my clients in discovering the brightest versions of themselves. I strive to be a grounding presence, offering strengths-based insight in a consistent, nurturing, and nourishing space where you can stretch, grow, and thrive. My trauma-informed clinical work also names the heavy impact of the systems at play in our lives - racism, white supremacy, colonization, capitalism, patriarchy, anti-queerness, anti-fatness and ableism must be acknowledged as complex and enduring influences on our institutions and therefore on our individual and collective healing.

Creative people often need multiple ways to process and integrate information before things "click" and real change takes place. Studio art therapy provides an accepting space for flexible self-expression that moves beyond words into the sensory and tangible world. I focus on helping clients connect their unconscious and conscious minds to align around personal and relationship goals in fresh, creative ways. Together we can enter a space where safety and exploration are bridged, and issues of mood, anxiety, and past trauma can be safely and effectively worked through to improve overall functioning through mind-body integration.

They can manifest as anxiety, depression, feelings of emptiness, confusion, nightmares, substance abuse and family/ relationship issues.
I have been working for over 20 years as a therapist and utilize the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for change- this remains the bedrock of my work. As a result, if the client does not feel we are the right fit on the first session I do not charge the client for the initial visit. I feel it is important for my clients to determine if I am the right fit for them.

As a therapist, I know how hard it is to overcome anxieties, past mistakes, relationship issues, trauma, and negative cycles.
You’ve just about had enough. Everyone needs something from you but when you need something? Crickets. Romantic relationships have only added to your stress, and you can never seem to do anything right in the eyes of your partner. Insecurities bring out the worst in you, and none of the changes you’ve tried to make to yourself—inside or out—make any difference. The ambitions you have for your career are big, but when you think about the future, you feel stuck in a rut. You feel lonely, even though you have family and friends around you all the time. And telling them how you feel? Not an option. They’d only use it against you later.
