Life can lead us down some pretty confusing paths sometimes, leaving us feeling crazy, unsettled, and totally lost. You don't have to feel like this forever. I work with individuals, couples, and teens who are really going through it - anxiety, panic and stress, relationship issues, PTSD, and unresolved issues that continue to impact current life. Many of my clients are insightful, curious, growth-oriented people who are seeking something beyond traditional therapy. My focus is on helping you to UN-learn all the crap you've taken on over the years that is weighing you down and freeing up whatever it is that seems to be stuck.

I'm working to build my awareness of how racism, sexism, white privilege, heterosexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, ageism, ability, body size and social class has impacted myself and my communities.
My clients are often those keenly aware of the complex time we live in, and are interested to understand what is keeping them from having the vibrant life they seek. You are doing "all the right things," and yet you continue to feel unfulfilled, anxious - in your relationships, sex life, in your work. You might feel stuck creatively. You feel distant, or at odds with your physical body. You'd like to know your story more fully, to understand how past experiences and cultural conditioning have impacted you, and to give your story voice, so you can express yourself - in relationships, work, art - from a place of deeper authenticity.

I have worked with adolescents and young adults for over 15 years in a variety of capacities and specialize in adolescent development and treatment and the challenges that arise in the transitional years of young adulthood.
With recent changes in our world and communities, adolescents and young adults are bombarded with stress and insecurity leading to mental health challenges. Anxiety, depression, and loneliness can lead to increased isolation, conflicts in parent/child relationships, suicidal thoughts and feelings of hopelessness. They may need a life line, a map to find their way.

It can be hard to shake feelings of anxiety or depression. Maybe strong emotions seem to take over and you don't know why. You may have an inner critic—telling yourself you should be a better parent, spouse, friend, etc. Perhaps you feel you function really well in some areas of life and struggle in others. You might even feel like you are fighting yourself at times. All kinds of things can leave you feeling stuck or unsettled, and I have a feeling you're working too hard to feel so beat up! Imagine how it could be to feel more capable, hopeful, open and connected to your life. This is the kind of work I love to do with my clients!

Now accepting OHP! Reaching out for help in any capacity can feel incredibly difficult and scary.

If you are bothered with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, feeling unworthy, struggling with relationships, or any other challenge in life, let’s talk about it.
My goal is to help make counseling feel comfortable, safe, and at your pace. We will work collaboratively to help you find your strength, feel empowered and confident, and rediscover meaning and purpose in your life. Talking through past or present tough experiences or hurts can be difficult. It’s tempting to try and ignore them or minimize how they are impacting you. Therapy can be a safe space to help you take the time needed to address your feelings in a way that will help you truly heal from the hurt, and discover how to engage with yourself in a healthy way that enables you to move forward.

Do you find that small, unforeseeable incidents ellicit intense emotions you’re unable to cope with? It may feel like life is a struggle. You do your best to cope with it all, but you cannot seem to find a balance. It is possible you have experienced a traumatic injury in your life, and you’re not sure how to allow yourself to truly acknowledge what has occurred. Nonetheless, it's increasingly difficult to find a peaceful moment in this fast paced world.
