I enjoy working with individuals throughout the lifespan. My experience as a school psychologist has given me an understanding of the challenges of both being and parenting a child with special needs, as well as navigating life as an adult with a disability or chronic health condition. I also have experience in working with clients suffering from depression, grief/loss, anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, and phobias. I have a special interest in working with clients who are neurodivergent and those who identify as LGBTQIA. I also abide by HAES principles and support all of my clients in body positivity.

Are you feeling unhappy or even miserable? Are you struggling with managing or coping with the stressors that are overwhelming your life? Have you tried to feel better on your own and nothing seems to be working? If the answer is yes to any of these questions and you are willing to invest in yourself, I may be able to help. We will work together using evidence-based therapeutic interventions such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). More often than not, I find individuals view change or a transition as uncomfortable and scary.

I love working with people to understand their own patterns of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. All of these patterns have a root cause, and have served you in some way at some time—even if they are now proving to be unhelpful or harmful. In our work together, we will come to better understand the problems you face, develop a plan to make a change, and then put that plan into action. I specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, BPD, ADHD, patterns of difficulty regulating emotions, and pervasive isolation/interpersonal conflict.

My goal is to help support and guide you through identifying and managing areas of life that may feel incomplete, problematic or out of sorts. Many of us have thoughts, beliefs or behaviors that prevent us from living the peaceful & joy-filled life we deserve. Trauma, early life experiences and/or life challenges/transitions can leave us feeling hopeless, alone and triggered.

Feeling anxious all the time is such a crippling feeling and can feel like there is no escaping it. Just when one anxious thought starts to go away, another one shows up and takes its place. It can feel like an endless cycle of racing thoughts, worry, and fear about anything and everything. It’s hard to know when the anxiety will be over especially living in an anxiety-inducing world that is constantly changing which in turn leads to more anxiety. If this sounds like you, you're not alone!
