Waitlist for new clients
I specialize in working with grief and anxiety from a trauma-informed perspective, and have a passion for integrating my client's interests (gaming? comics? music?) into the therapy process.
“The most important step a person can take. It’s not the first one, is it? It’s the next one. Always the next step.” – Brandon Sanderson. There's no question that first step can be a difficult one, and by looking at my profile you're already taking it, but the first step won't get your far unless you take the next one. Many of us are ready for the next step, but find ourselves with obstacles, either inside or outside of ourselves, that get in the way. Whatever your struggles or the path behind you, if you're ready to find the route ahead and put one foot in front of the other, I'm ready to support you along the way.

In these times of loss and uncertainty it can feel very difficult to do this.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and families. Most of my experience has been with younger clients facing trauma, depression, anxiety, loss and family crisis. I believe it is important for me to have a collaborative professional relationship with each client so that we can collectively meet the client's needs.

I love connecting with adults across the lifespan to begin or continue healing processes. I have experience working with adults and teenagers grappling with overwhelming experiences, challenges around mood, sense of self, relationships, shame, anxiety, loneliness, grief, and more. Every part of you is welcome in therapy with me, including the parts that feel the scariest to look at, talk about, and understand. Together, we can use curiosity and compassion to gain insight into where these challenges come from, what your values are, how you want to connect with yourself and others, and what balance and peace might look like for you.

Your transition starts here. Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out exactly what we are experiencing. You may feel sad, irritable, quick to anger or you may find yourself in the depths of excessive worry. The challenge can be that we are so close to our issue, we can’t always see clearly.

Let me help you tell your story. Nietzsche famously said, "To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering." I believe that we spend our lives looking for answers and meaning in life, and my passion is helping others untangle their darkest fears, their deepest worries, and emerge feeling both freer and more in control of their lives. I will walk beside you in the darkness--not leading, but guiding with a gentle hand as you move toward a brighter future.

We all deserve to feel safe and secure in our daily lives; confident and calm in our social interactions. So many of us suffer from life altering or traumatic events which create barriers from living our full potential.

The first light of day peeks through the blinds. You’re awake, already lost in a dense forest of anxious thoughts. Always an over-thinker, you're so familiar with the dark cloud of worries and what-ifs that easily spiral out of control. Dragging yourself out of bed, your reflection reveals the cost of many nights of less than restful sleep. The well-known knot appears in your belly as you imagine the ways things could go sideways today. Armoring up as you dress to leave, each button and zipper reminds you of the inner and outer dragons to be slayed. Will you ever shake the feeling of impending failure and wasted potential?

Not all therapists are able to support you fully when medical or other conditions have caused cognitive decline. This is my specialty. Having worked closely with neurologists, radiologists and many other medical specialties, I can offer you neuropsyc or psych evaluations and brain maps that shed light on problems, and create a treatment plan that really makes a difference. We've helped folks with brain injury or general concerns for cognition, restore memory and attention skills, get to better thinking and reasoning, and enhanced joy in life. I go beyond the limits where others stopped, because rehabilitating brains is my passion.
