I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered / Board Certified Art Therapist working with adults, adolescents, and children. My approach to therapy begins with forming a safe, therapeutic relationship that allows you to explore life transitions, emotional pain, or other symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, addiction, or eating disorders. We will move beyond symptom management and help you to identify and develop understanding of the deeper meaning of the presenting symptoms. Often, the symptoms are external manifestations of conflicts and core beliefs rooted in the inner world or attempts to avoid the pain of past and current life experiences.

No matter how hard you try, you feel like you aren't good enough. You are trying so hard to figure out how to make everything fall into place, but you just can’t find the solution.

You are ready for relief; you just really want life to feel easier. Yet, you aren’t sure if that is possible, or how others would react if you did change. You learned this way of being because you had to.

Sometimes, even when we know that something is wrong, we still need guidance in order to disentangle the problems that cause us suffering. Every problem has a solution and every difficult period can have a peaceful resolution. My therapeutic approach primarily stems from Family Systems Theory. I focus on emotional independence through individuation and help individuals, couples and families gain additional growth, strengths, and insights into their lives. I work on reducing negative communication patterns and installing love as an attachment bond.

For the past decade I have worked as a therapist. I work from a trauma-informed and psychodynamic persoective. I believe in fostering an open, respectful space in which to explore thoughts, feelings, desires—in which anything can be talked about. I have particular experience addressing anxiety, trauma, and depression; life transitions; and concerns related to identity. That said, I enjoy working with people on a range of issues. I have found a particular affinity for working with creative people, academics, doctors, and those passionate about their work; those who feel particularly sensitive; and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

You've always done everything right, and yet your world's just been turned upside down. You've been completely walloped by a death, a health diagnosis, a crumbling marriage, or a shattered dream. Your life no longer looks like how you thought it would. Waves of hard feelings keep coming at you, and your best efforts to deal with them aren't helping nearly enough. But you're normally the one who has it all together, and so everyone thinks you're doing so much better than you really are. You tell yourself everyone's doing their best to support you, but – let’s face it – their best kinda sucks, and so you're left feeling all alone.

This fast paced life we live can be overwhelming. We are going at full speed. Jobs are stressful and demanding. Keeping our mind and bodies operating at full capacity, with the additional reserve of calm needed for managing our intimate relationships and child rearing, can be challenging. As a wife, mother, and design professional of over 15 years, I understand the stress of managing interpersonal conflicts with a difficult boss or co-workers, unmanageable workloads, and the ongoing demands of an ever-changing, competitive work environment. I also know how hard it is to balance work and home life.

A little about me... I couldn’t survive without my assortment of To Do lists. Somehow I manage to surprise myself again and again by not completing the lengthy tasks I hoped to cross off my lists. I wish I prioritized time in nature, self-care, and getting together with friends. The frenetic pace of our modern “grind culture” is a force I find challenging to resist. Despite having book knowledge on anxiety, I still have panicky moments. Through my own therapy, I am unlearning the message of hustling for my worth and aiming to embrace my limitations. I have come to learn that my triggers often end up being my best teachers.

I enjoy working with people who are experiencing difficult life issues, often related to relationships and/or cultural expectation of who they "should" be. I support individuals and couples who are stuck in a moment of confusion, grief, hopelessness, or despair, helping them figure out how to manage difficult challenges. I particularly appreciate opportunities to work with those in the process of exploring gender identity and sexual orientation, racial identity, and acute life/work crises such as grief, loss, and other traumas, including critical events.
