I provide Recovery Coaching/Case Mgt on a monthly basis. Whether you're coming back from some form of treatment for your substance use or you've had a relapse from your program, having someone involved with your recovery process is essential for success. It can be very challenging initially in recovery, there are lots of new feelings that you will have to look at that you never really looked at before and this process can stir up some heavy emotions. Having someone with you that has been through it and has assisted many others in the past can be very helpful, especially in the first 90 days.

Welcome! I am a licensed psychotherapist with a passion for helping women and non-binary individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve their fullest potential. My practice is rooted in evidence-based therapies, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to provide you with effective, practical tools for lasting change. I believe in creating a supportive, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, aiming to foster resilience, self-acceptance, and personal growth.

Together, at a pace you are comfortable with, we can explore places in your life where you feel stuck, and move towards the life you want to live.

Alice Miller writes, "In order to become whole we must try, in a long process, to discover our own personal truth, a truth that may cause pain before giving us a new sphere of freedom." The odyssey toward a personal sense of wholeness is perhaps a forever condition; and along this journey are inevitable peaks and valleys. Psychotherapy and the relationship established there can be a useful tool in this pilgrimage toward greater insight, compassion for self, and an increased sense of wellness. I believe that each person's path is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic methods to meet the specific needs and goals of my clients.

Life is sometimes overwhelming and therapy can help create possibilities! I am here to support you in identifying what is making you feel stuck and work with you to become the best version of yourself. I offer a warm and compassionate place for clients to talk about their pain and feel understood. I work with teens, college students and young adults experiencing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, family and personal relationship difficulties, and academic or occupational stress.

I work with individuals who find themselves stuck in unhelpful patterns, in disappointing relationships, and in their own internal turmoil. They long to live more authentically and to have more meaningful relationships, but have a hard time breaking out of their usual ways of relating to themselves and others. Using a strength-based approach, I seek to understand and appreciate the larger context of who you are, how you became you, and how your struggles developed so that we can understand the deeper source of your pain, support you in shifting out of vicious cycles, and help you live a more centered, conscious life.

I see therapy as a place to practice courage and honesty, with the goal of creating more joy, humor, flexibility, and play in one's life, relationships, and work. I often see individuals dealing with complex issues such as depression, grief/loss, anxiety, recovery from trauma/abuse or neglect, postpartum or parenting issues, child emotional or behavioral concerns, relationship conflicts, or identity/life transitions. My approach is collaborative, empathic, and interactive, creating an environment in which to help you better understand, relate to, and address the challenges you are experiencing.

Do you struggle with feeling anxious, replaying past traumatic moments over and over, or constantly running worst-case scenarios in your head? Do you lie awake at night anxiously planning the next day? I am the kind of therapist who likes to partner with you to make sense of what is happening and work with your mind and body to heal. We’ll use mindfulness strategies, and breathing techniques to help you find more peace, and be more present in your day. If you’re curious and open to trying new things, I am committed to being open, and patient, to drop my assumptions, and to be flexible, so you have the freedom to heal.

I strongly value the unique intersectionality of each individual and/or collective identities and narratives. I am interested in focusing on and using the therapeutic relationship to explore, process, and re-build psychological patterns of self-worth and interpersonal dynamics that are underlying symptoms. I welcome collaboration in cultivating a curious and open space to empower growth in self-agency as well as growth in the capacity to reflect on the self, other, unconscious mind, and emotional experience. I believe this is vital for deepening self-compassion and integration of one’s various parts of self and history.
