Interventions I use are mindfulness, solution focused, trauma focused, and cognitive behavioral therapy modalities.
If you're looking for a therapist because of depression, anxiety, stress, or difficulty adapting to a new season in life whether that's related to work, school, relationships, parenting, loss/grief, or a new medical diagnosis, I am here to help. I view therapy as a safe, non-biased, and non-judgmental place to express your thoughts and feelings. A place where one can seek clarity, peace, and healing.

You feel successful, yet something is missing. You may feel stuck in a cycle of constant conflict, self-doubt, and unrelenting stress, yearning for the calm confidence that always feels just out of reach. You’re exhausted and frustrated because you’ve tried everything, but it doesn’t work. If you're here for your child or teen, you're concerned that they struggle with issues they can’t always articulate. They seem stuck, and you feel powerless to help them. You both recognize the need for change, but it’s difficult to know where to begin. Now is the time to take action.

I have an extensive professional history of working with families and couples in crisis. Many of us struggle in our relationships & find that clear communication is challenging for many reasons. The barriers may include issues with past trauma or failed attempts to find the right words during a conflict. I bring the structural therapy tools to help a family, couple, or individual recognize the triggers of their conflicts, explore past trauma & the impact it may have on the current relationship/situation, help the individual challenge automatic negative assumptions, & find a response which leads to clear communication.

Many of us are navigating systems that were not designed to nourish us, and growing through hardships that leave us feeling isolated and overwhelmed. I work to help people (especially LGBTQ people, BBIPOC, and Neurodivergent people) understand how psychotherapy (e.g. acceptance, emotion regulation, interpersonal skills, stress-reduction, trauma work, value-driven action) can be applied to overcome and liberate. I also specialize in managing Bipolar Disorder, OCD/OCD-spectrum disorders, PTSD, & Social Anxiety. By enhancing your strengths, reworking coping mechanisms, and reframing beliefs about yourself, you can find peace and joy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and I work with clients with eating disorders, chronic illness, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, women's issues and life transitions. Many times, we may not be aware of how certain situations have impacted us. We may even feel that we have dealt with things cognitively; however, our actions and emotions may not align. I work from a trauma-focused lens which means that I believe that we have all had our fair share of difficulties that are impacting our present-day thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I work with clients to address past, present and future struggles to have a more adaptive perspective.
