Life can sometimes feel too difficult to navigate alone, and having a supportive and safe outlet can make all the difference. Relationship struggles, life purpose, grief and loss, identity issues, family dynamics, chronic illness, and other stressors can be overwhelming, but with counseling, they can be transformative.

I welcome all orientations and walks of life experiencing mental health concerns. I bring 25 years of experience in the medical field to counseling and value the power of the mind-body connection.

I specialize in helping introspective high performing adolescents, children, parents and young adults who are at capacity and need something to change. Often, there was an image you had for your life and the way your life is unfolding is not it. You are dealing with you or your child struggling with anxiety, sleep disturbance, aggressive outbursts or health concerns and a feeling that life should be better or different than what it is.

Maybe you have been living with depression and anxiety or feeling outcasted in life for as long as you can remember. Perhaps you're an adult who was recently given or is self-diagnosed as neurodivergent. You could be an individual, couple, or polycule seeking out new ways to build and maintain healthy intimacy or looking to explore your varying personal and sexual identities. No matter what brings you to therapy, I firmly believe that human connection is at the center of each of our past, present, and future lived experiences.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, adults and families. I work with clients experiencing a wide variety of life circumstances and issues; however, I have specialty training working with school-aged children, college students and families. My approach to working with clients is to first provide them an environment where their life circumstances can be understood so they can feel safe to explore new possibilities. My priority as a therapist is that my clients feel empowered to live their best life within their own unique set of cultural factors while taking into account their personal goals.
