It is an immense privilege to walk side by side with my clients as they take their courageous journey to their best lives. I provide treatment to couples, teens & adults providing both individual and couples/marital therapy.

My passion is working with the unique challenges faced by emerging adults dealing with ADHD, autism, anxiety, grief, and trauma, although I am open to working with adults of all ages. Specializing in emerging adults (16-30), I recognize the pivotal stage of life that this demographic represents, where young individuals are transitioning into adulthood and facing complex emotional and psychological changes. Through a client-centered approach, I foster a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your emotions, develop coping strategies, and build resilience.

It is an immense privilege every day to work side by side and collaboratively with my clients assisting them in handling the challenges they are facing in their lives and relationships. I look forward to supporting you as together we will navigate your new path toward much greater satisfaction and peace in your own life or your relationship. Whether you are looking to begin counseling individually, alongside a partner, or with other members of your family, I am here to help you in defining your goals and in identifying the patterns or obstacles that are hindering you from living the life or relationship you want and so deserve.

The pain of grief can be overwhelming and unbearable at times. The loss of a loved one is probably one of the most difficult situations that we will experience in life, especially if you are struggling with symptoms of complicated grief, such as intense feelings of guilt or responsibility, nightmares or disturbing images, or extreme emotional dysregulation that interferes with your daily functioning. Sometimes thoughts, images and emotions have us "stuck" in our grief journey, and we need help working through these issues...

Do you feel anxious, lost or alone? Is it difficult for you to share your feelings with others? Do you long for more love, joy and meaning in your life and relationships? Do you feel so busy taking care of others that you have neglected yourself? Would you like to experience more freedom, connection and passion? Psychotherapy is an effective, dynamic, interpersonal experience that can help transform your life and relationships. Using an interactive, sincere and supportive style, frustrating patterns can be unraveled to create more satisfaction, pleasure and balance in your life.

We all face mental and physical challenges, grief, relationship issues, and unexpected changes from time to time. I am here to assist you by treating you as a “whole” person. The mind, body, spirit, and environment influence total personal wellness. When these pieces work in harmony, you can overcome life’s obstacles while becoming the best version of yourself! We will collaborate to customize your wellness road map, so you can continue with your life's journey with purpose and meaning.

Your mind desperately grasps at questions: Will I always feel this way? How long can I stand this? Will I survive?

Hello! I'm glad you are here! I am pleased to announce that I am accepting new patients and Etna insurance now. The first step in getting mentally healthy is accepting you need help. The next is finding a counselor that listens, understands and is nonjudgmental. I meet people where they are in life. I enjoy the healing process of counseling and the personal growth that occurs when working with clients. Have you been suffering from high amounts of stress, habitual anxiety and depressed moods that result in emotional and physical fatigue? You are not alone, I understand, and I can help!

Although you may feel alone in your problem, I guarantee that you are not, and will help you develop individual and relationship skills to overcome your problem(s). I am an avid proponent of examining the systemic nature of problems, which includes taking inventory of the mental, physical, spiritual, societal, and relational aspects that may be effecting you. I will help you deconstruct your life and experiences, and help you reconstruct a healthy psychological paradigm that heals you and brings meaning and purpose to your life. You will ultimately feel more alive, genuine, and hopeful about yourself and your future.

I am passionate about helping adults and children through trauma. I value the innate potential each client has to gain insight and make the commitment to change their life when they are both ready and willing. I use compassion and accountability to provide a genuine platform for clients to reveal themselves without fear of judgments. In my therapeutic approach, I believe that each individual is unique. My treatment approach is customized to bring greater self-awareness, psychological healing, and inner satisfaction.

I offer therapeutic wellness interventions through a trauma informed/ trauma focused lens. I enjoy working with pre-teens and adolescents (age 12-18) and young adults through age 65 who are seeking support and facilitation in their healing and growth toward "self- actualizing" potential. I am most helpful for clients who are willing to be active participants and personally responsible for their growth process inherent to experiencing wellness. Together we approach treatment goals to overcome or manage life issues stemming from problems with trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, behaviors and emotions, grief, and relationships.

I specialize in working with the neurodiverse community (all ages) and draw from a wealth of experience to provide psycho-education, validation, empathy, and strategies. I hold space for processing the challenges while also working to identify strengths. When working with children, I utilize play therapy to focus on building your child’s understanding of their ADHD brain, equip them with skills to both understand and communicate what they are feeling, improve self-control, and increase their confidence. This often helps reduce the intensity of emotions that can be otherwise felt and expressed in BIG ways!

I believe how we treat our bodies affects our thoughts and how we think affects our bodies. Therefore, I integrate a holistic approach into the therapeutic process. I work with clients to address the root cause(s) of symptoms and to promote healing through the use of various techniques tailored to each individual’s needs. I use yoga, meditation, and mindfulness in conjunction with traditional talk therapies to recenter and rebalance the mind-body connection, to improve inter- and intra-personal relationships, and to create physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
