If you are feeling lost, powerless, or simply overwhelmed, I want to help you carve out a safe space where you can come and reflect on what is important to you and the person you want to be. Together, we can work on the tools, mindsets, and daily acts of care for yourself that foster a stronger sense of trust in yourself and ultimately a stronger sense of resilience. I am deeply inspired by our younger generations and their commitment to equity, authenticity, and self-determination. I work with youth ages 6-24 and - I love my job! Also please note that I conduct ADHD evaluations for youth ages 6-24 if you need that support as well!

Hey Gen Z! I want to help you find your voice and empower you to be the best you can be. I draw heavily from Rogerian (person-centered) therapy, with the belief that clients deserve unconditional positive regard and empathy no matter what they bring into therapy. I also draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, and I use art and play therapy as well. I find passion in working with clients who have experienced trauma and want to find the tools to find their own voice and break out of negative cycles that have impacted their families. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone is a work in progress, and I would love to get to know you!

My aim is to help you see yourself not as flawed or broken, but as worthy. Seeking therapy isn’t always easy when life is not going in the direction you were hoping. Life can be incredibly painful at times. It is helpful to have someone in our corner, who will support and validate, as well as guide and challenge when necessary. I am passionate about helping others and I believe in developing strong relationships with my clients and use a collaborative approach to help you reach your goal. Trusting a therapist and allowing yourself to be vulnerable can be challenging but the end results will be worth the journey.

Utilizing a whole-body approach to treatment we will minimize disruptive blocks & triggers and develop internal and external strategies to help you find freedom from fear and regain your self trust. I don't accept insurance, but check with your insurance and see it they will reimburse you from a SuperBill that I can provide to you.

I didn't grow up with therapy in my life. My parents divorced and remarried other partners when I was quite young, and that led to a very large, very blended family full of financial disparity and cultural differences. I didn’t venture into therapy until experiencing depression after the birth of one of my children. I then learned about intergenerational trauma and what damage it can do. I have immediate family who identify as Neurodiverse, Queer and Trans, and have chronic illness and autoimmune disorders and am fully aware of the challenges they face.

Most therapy issues stem from issues with control (ie. phobias, controlling others, being "a control freak," feeling controlled by others, uncontrolled thinking, uncontrolled behaviors, etc.). Being out-of-control is extremely uncomfortable, unpredictable, and unavoidable. In therapy we discuss different ways to relate to the concept of control by increasing psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility is the ability to adapt to the inevitable uncertainties of life. With Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), I assist you in identifying your "stuck" points and making the necessary pivots towards living a life you love.

Being told your voice is not valued because you’re young is the worst. Your voice matters.
