Trauma, stress, and anxiety harm us. In response we disconnect from our partners, families, and communities. Our future and our identity are stolen from us. A joyful life filled with hope and meaning can feel out of reach. This is especially true for people in the helping professions - physicians, nurses, counselors, mental health workers, teachers and others - where rapidly increasing expectations and demands from the job often outpace our resilience and ability to effectively cope and change.

You might be struggling with the heavy impact of anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma. Maybe the constant worry, racing thoughts, or deep sadness you’re experiencing make it hard to relax, focus, or fully engage with the people and activities you once enjoyed. You could be feeling disconnected from yourself and others, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you and wondering if healing is truly possible. Deep down, what you really want is to find relief—to feel more at peace, grounded, and empowered to live a life that's meaningful and fulfilling. You're ready for change, and I’m here to support you in making that a reality.

You want to break free from the patterns that hold you back—whether that’s self-doubt, limiting beliefs, or relationship difficulties. Most of all, you’re looking for a safe, supportive space to explore your feelings and build strength to move forward.

Accepting new clients! I'm a relationship therapist committed to helping individuals and intimate partners deepen their authenticity and trust. My work focuses on identifying deeply rooted issues that reinforce low self esteem, negative communication patterns and feelings of disconnection, and developing solutions to enhance connection and resilience. I enjoy working with those who are navigating emotional distancing or insecure attachment, contemplating leaving a toxic relationship or job, new parents and those in caregiver roles, and helping people pleasers learn to say no.

Do you use humor to cope with pain? I believe there is a place for humor in therapy. It can ease anxiety, build trust and connection, and, it can also lead to avoidance and minimization of our pain and problems, keeping us stuck in the same cycle. If you feel overwhelmed by life expectations and feel stuck in the same old patterns and want help exploring what you want out of life and how to live more authentically, then we might be a good fit. I have a passion for working with food service workers, working-class folks, men, and first-generation Americans/undocumented folks.

I believe psychotherapy is a project between two people where sources of emotional pain and anguish are discovered and revisited, where what has been denied, unimagined, forgotten, or come to be unspeakable can become imagined, felt and spoken. The process generates an understanding of ourselves that is vastly more dynamic than what our relationships, politics and culture allow, leading to the easing of suffering and the creation of new possibilities.

Healing is a brave and loving pursuit, but that doesn't mean it doesn't feel daunting to turn over the stones of grief and self-denial. We heal and grow not in a straight line, but in a spiral: a movement back & forth, toward & away from similar milestones, from darkness to light, and the path can seem overgrown and difficult to move through. There might be upheaval, pain, and grief, and moments of darkness to sift through and understand. The good news is that no matter what has happened to bring you here, you don't have to navigate this all alone.

Do you experience anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD, parenting struggles, relational dynamic issues or changes, or personal identity concerns? I am here to support you finding your voice within yourself and in close relationships. I believe that our past informs our present, in how we see, feel, hear, connect, and experience our lives. I find behavior to be an important opening to explore the underlying feelings an individual is experiencing in response to others. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which you are the expert of your own life and I am an empathetic and supportive guide helping create a brave, accepting space.

You’ve read all the self-help books, listened to podcasts, and have been in weekly therapy, but still feel like you are just trying to survive between sessions. You feel like your relationships are really suffering because your traumatic experiences get in the way of feeling safe with others. You continue to feel triggered by things that you thought you had worked through. All this work has not gotten to the bottom of your symptoms, difficulties, or negative self-talk. You need help right now and you don’t want to continue to spend months or even years in weekly traditional talk therapy.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and an EMDR Certified Therapist. I offer therapy to folks who have experienced various forms of trauma, grief, shame, addiction, phobias, and stressors. A lot of people I work with have shared with me that so much has happened to them in their life, they worry no one will believe them. So, they bury their pain with substances, food, sex, adrenaline, accomplishments, busyness, exercise, diet, status, or money. They’ve tried talk therapy, and it doesn’t quite help.

My goal is to collaborate with you to find the joy, connections, and moments of beauty that bring your life meaning. I want to hear about the parts you’re ashamed of, the times you weren’t your best self (we’re ALL messy), and help you uncover and disrupt thoughts, behaviors, & relationship patterns that are no longer serving you. Whether you’re a queer teen carving out space in your conventional family/ town or an empty nester trying to figure out what YOU like and who YOU are after 25 years, you deserve to be heard.

My intention is to provide a supportive and attuned therapeutic relationship that invites you to safely explore your experience in life with curiosity, kindness and acceptance. You might be aware of a specific issue you'd like to work on, or perhaps you are impacted by a more general perception of yourself as somehow flawed, inadequate, unworthy, unloved, or like you just don't belong. I focus on helping people in these areas as well as problems related to depression, anxiety, attachment/relationship issues, self-esteem, shame, LGBTQ+ issues. I believe in a holistic, client-centered approach to counseling.
