I specialize in working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, adjustment disorders, anger management, codependency, recovery from past abuse, life transitions, perfectionism, and relationship concerns.

Our thoughts, feelings and behaviors influence every area of our lives, often negatively impacting our relationships, our work and self-care. Seeking support is a significant first step in honoring your need for growth and change. I offer a safe place to be heard and understood and collaboratively we will identify therapeutic goals. I affirm clients from all backgrounds, gender expression/identity, sexual orientation, race, culture, and ability status.

I am also passionate about helping those who have been impacted by image-based sexual abuse.
Often, people experience stress and anxiety if they believe they do not live up to others' expectations. It can feel extremely isolating if you think you are outside of the "normal". I believe that "normal" is subjective, and that there is no standard "normal". I enjoy working with clients who are wanting to embrace the parts of themselves that they've been conditioned to keep private. I see strength in vulnerability. I think there is so much to be said for a person who is able to acknowledge the pain that they've been through. Without doing so, it can be difficult to learn, heal, and grow.

My clients experience a range of challenges, including symptoms related to anxiety, stress, and depression; grief and loss; identity development and life transitions; sexual and interpersonal violence; and relationship difficulties.
Thank you for taking the time to read about me. My work with clients, first and foremost, focuses on developing a relationship. Research indicates that the single most important component of therapy is the strength of the relationship between the therapist and the client. I build connection by accompanying clients on their journey to insight and healing. Together we create a space that is safe and free of judgment, where the client’s authentic voice can be discovered and heard. I approach each client uniquely and in partnership, based on their needs and challenges.

SAFETY is NOT the removal of a threat! Feeling safe is dependent upon unique cues in the environment we are IN and relationships that PROMOTE and reciprocate feelings of trust, safety, connection and love. At the basic level, our bodies are geared for protection and defense. TRAUMA is an experience or event that overwhelms an individual's ability/capacity to cope/understand/make sense of what has occurred; essentially there are NO words! Your body reacts appropriately; fight, flight or shut down. These experiences shape how we perceive ourselves, the world, drives our behavior and impacts our ability to navigate life and find joy.

Childhood is a rollercoaster of experiences. Navigating these ups and downs can leave children worried, sad, withdrawn, or struggling with behaviors. As a parent or caregiver it can be difficult knowing what to say or how to help. I love partnering with children and their families to create a safe space to process some of the most difficult times of their lives.

Life can be bright and beautiful with moments of joy and laughter, peace and calm. But life can also throw us curve balls that disrupt our moments of smooth sailing. You likely know what I am talking about--riding the roller coaster of hurtful experiences, illness, broken relationships, loss, grief, tragedy, a pandemic--the various challenges in life that can end in psychological suffering. In your suffering, you may feel overwhelmed by your distress, not knowing how to cope daily or move forward in life. This is a tough place to be in, but humans are resilient, and you can learn new ways of responding to life's difficulties.

My ideal client would be someone struggling with life based on what they were taught or the environment in which they were raised. Sometimes what we feel worked for us in one environment or situation will not work in the same environment or a new one based on time or the growth of others. I believe we all owe it to ourselves to make self-reflection a consistent habit and aim to grow as much as we can. My clients often want to feel comfortable in their own skin, communicate well with others and live a life full of success and peace. I focus on personal acceptance, healthy relationships (Family/romantic) and peace for my clients.

Each person is a unique individual whose life and experience is different from anyone else, and deserves to be addressed with unconditional positive regard for themselves and their circumstances. This is why I place an emphasis on authenticity and the importance of understanding each person as a whole, focusing on healing through the integration of mental, physical, and spiritual health. As a therapist, I will involve strategies and techniques including CBT, sandtray and sandplay, motivational interviewing, addressing the mind and body connection, and the incorporation of ongoing psychoeducation.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
