I believe in the importance of sharing knowledge about the mind-body relationship of trauma, panic, anxiety, and depression, to help my clients understand what they have been experiencing and why, and how to move forward. My specialties are school-aged children and adolescents and their families, and young adults, but I do trauma-focused therapy with all ages. My clinical interests include trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, and transitional stress, whether that be exploring or revealing sexuality and/or gender identity, developmental transitions, managing increasing expectations of early adulthood, or navigating life changes.

Depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, loss, and traumatic events all have the ability to disrupt our lives, interfering with a clear focus on what is truly fulfilling and rewarding. I believe that each person has the ability to deeply connect with their unique life perspective to clear the confusion, develop their own internal wisdom, and begin living life more fully.

Hello and Welcome! I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have a wide variety of experience working with individuals, families and facilitating group therapy.

Are you enjoying your life? Or merely enduring it? I know that doing a simple search for a therapist may seem like a small thing, but it's the first step that is going to lead to major improvements in your life. I'm here to help you with the next steps. Odds are you found me because something just isn't going right. Or maybe a lot of things aren't going right. Issues like anxiety, depression, and interpersonal problems can make the struggles of daily life seem nearly unbearable. It can seem like even the sunny days are obscured by a cloud that dulls any sense of contentment. I hear you. The good news is, I can help.

The early years of adulthood are exciting, complex, and also sometimes confusing and challenging. There are often a lot of decisions to be made, social/family/school/vocational pressures to face, and all while also working to establish a sense of who you are and what you believe. Maybe you feel stuck. Or maybe things have not gone as you expected as you've sought to grow your family through marriage or trying to conceive. It's not surprising that working through one, or several, of these challenges could become weighty, or start to impact your mental health/well-being. I'd be honored to collaborate with you and support you!
