“Each person's grief is unique. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed." -David Kessler Are you struggling with coping with a change in your life and feel lost and overwhelmed? Do you feel anxious or depressed? Maybe you need someone to help you sort through everything? I provide a safe, comfortable space for people to discover and develop individualized tools so they can begin to heal and grow.

Currently accepting new clients! I believe that each of us possesses the power and wisdom to work through the difficult parts of life - it's just a matter of accessing those abilities. Counseling offers a space to tap into that wisdom and power by working with the aspects of life that are most challenging. Change, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, even life’s questions and personal growth can be difficult to navigate alone. However, you don’t have to! I am here to help clients evaluate mental health concerns, identify the purpose of our time together, and support each individual in achieving their goals.

My ideal client is a young adult facing overwhelming life challenges. They might feel lost amid trauma, loss, or big changes, even though they seem okay to others. They struggle with emotions like sadness and stress and need a safe place to talk, heal, and learn healthy ways to cope. They want to find peace and purpose, and they seek support to understand themselves better, grow, and face life with confidence. They're ready to explore, heal, and become the best version of themselves, knowing they don't have to do it alone.

You matter! This tenet is central to the work. For 20 years, this is what I have been passionate about helping folx to realize, intellectually and actually in their day-to-day lives. Life is a series of events (great and small), associated emotions, and responses. These make up our diverse lived experiences. But how do we make sense of them? For some, how do we recover from them to go on to live the lives we desire? In the past, I have also worked with families and groups. These days, I find beauty in continuing to work with individuals to co-create a safe-enough space for clients to explore vulnerability and find their voices.

You are the expert of your own experience. Your journey, whether perceived as positive or negative, pragmatic or painful, belongs to you.

As a curious partner, I combine practical clinical knowledge with educated guidance to serve as a compass while we explore your narrative together.

I am a practicing licensed clinician for over 17 years in an outpatient hospital setting along with my private practice. My goal is to create a safe environment where you can discuss and move through your uneasy feelings. My population is diverse and I believe that developing a trusting relationship with one's therapist is priority. I understand that life can be challenging at times, and we need someone to help us through our journey.

As we move through life, obstacles, challenges, disappointments and past pain can become road blocks to living the life we truly want. In therapy we can create a supportive, safe and accepting place for you to explore and dismantle the elements that have kept you stuck, and uncover your true potential to lead a life that is fulfilling and meaningful. If you are ready for this journey of self-discovery and change, I would be honored to work with you.

Why is it difficult to call a stranger for help, for counseling? Most likely because the caller is vulnerable and sometimes it is hard to ask for help. My goal, as a therapist, is to explore ways with my clients to help them get past what it is that is troubling them. I want to help my clients build a bridge to a healthier future.

My work combines psychoanalytic therapy with helping people learn how to listen to the unique and creative way in which our body carries wisdom, information and unprocessed experiences. It is important for us to tell the story of what has happened to us and to have our stories held in a compassionate manner. If we already know our story and find ourselves still stuck in old behaviors, thoughts and patterns, then learning to listen and experience how our bodies hold meaning for what's still unresolved or unknown is a valuable skill.
