I specialize in working with children/teens and their families, young adults and high-performing individuals dealing with anything from anxiety or depression to stress, life transitions and grief. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to identify strengths and goals to find healing and ultimately live a more value-driven, connected and meaningful life. I have a very non-judgmental, warm approach and take a very individualized perspective with each client I work with—most of my clients would tell you they appreciate feeling like they are really being "seen".

I believe trauma is not our fault, and healing from it is a choice we can make. I have experience working with childhood trauma in adults, eating disorders, anxiety, and general life transitions/stress. Maybe you've gone to therapy before and learned some coping skills but are ready to dig deeper into the roots that caused it in the first place. As a psychodynamic therapist, I aim to help you find and understand patterns in your behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and relationships. This also means spending time exploring how your current struggles have shown up before now, particularly how they relate to your childhood.

Finding support that is gender and sexuality affirming can be exhausting and difficult. I am able to facilitate facilitate a safe, inclusive, and compassionate space for queer, gender diverse communities. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and affirming. I believe in advocating for accessible gender, sexuality, and neurodivergent affirming care.

As a therapist, my approach to therapy is deeply rooted in the power of human connection. I believe that the quality of our therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of healing and growth. You can receive therapy from (almost) anyone, but the sense of trust, warmth, and comfort (or sometimes discomfort) you experience with a therapist can be the deciding factor between significant change and desired positive growth. In my practice, I'm dedicated to nurturing a safe and empowering space.

Do you struggle with unwanted thoughts/feelings? Do you find that your own internal discomfort pulls you away from acting and behaving like the person you want to be? Do you experience a lack of peace as you attempt to direct life in the manner you choose? When life hasn't or isn't materializing as you wish, there is hope. Internal distress can be managed with practical, simple processes learned in Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT).

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. And, sometimes there isn’t a plan, or it’s someone else’s plan, or the plan simply isn’t working. I offer a compassionate space where you can feel safe and supported as we explore the unexpected or ongoing turbulence your life. My trauma-informed approach to counseling is centered on building a trust-based collaboration that will support you as you begin to experience meaningful change. We’ll rely on a process of discovery to determine which counseling approach, or combination of approaches, will fit best for you. Together we’ll uncover your unique path to the life you want to live.

Loss is hard. Change is hard. Relationships are hard. I offer a warm, safe, collaborative space to assist you on needs and goals, improve relationships, heal abuse and trauma, and go from surviving to thriving. Even though healing is hard it can also be an exciting, playful, and soul expanding journey! I am trauma trained and informed (ART, EMDR, Flash method, IFS) and approach therapy from an integrative and experiential standpoint. “If we climb high enough, we will reach a height from which tragedy ceases to look tragic.” (Yalom).

My work with clients begins at the heart using a strength-based, person-centered approach. Navigating life's uncertainties and learning how to grow through difficult times can be challenging. Past events in our lives are part of our story, but they are not the entire story and they do not define our whole life. I embrace people and their stories with an open heart and innate sensitivity. Creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment to explore relationship and life patterns that are no longer serving you is of utmost importance to me. Therapy is a journey that we can take together, navigating the challenges in a collaborative way.

We are taking new clients at our office. We believe that therapy is a journey to build a better you. Whether that is moving through trauma, exploring and conquering anxiety, learning sports psychology tactics, raising your child (and dealing with the wonderful adolescent drama), fighting addiction, or strengthening your marriage, we're in this together. If you enter my therapy office, you are here to grow. While therapy is a process, it does not have to be a long, drawn out, difficult and treacherous.

I understand the importance of finding a therapist who makes you feel like they actually get you and truly care, and that it's not always easy to open up to someone new. This may be something that you have been thinking about doing for a long time, but for a variety of reasons you have put it off. Whatever has brought you here and whatever your prior experiences with therapy are, I am so excited and honored to get to be a part of this journey with you.

I get it. Life happens. I’ve had those experiences myself. It can be hard to know what to do when your relationships are struggling or when you need help. It’s uniquely difficult when you’re worried about your teenager & looking for support. But here you are, taking this monumental step toward improvement. I tend to use a strengths-based approach in my work, helping my clients embrace their best self and enhance their life through the “Three C’s”: Connection, Creation & Contribution. Laying a foundation that allows for the development of the Three C’s leads to living a life of purpose, meaning & “pyong” - peace & confidence in life.

I draw upon several modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory and EMDR. I believe that providing therapy is a privilege, and comes with responsibilities that must be respected. It is essential that clinicians are committed to doing their own inner work. Meditation, mindfulness and personal growth are at the core of everything I do. It is these practices that drove me to this field, and continue to guide me today.

You’re tired of fighting against yourself and of getting in your own way. Whether you're reliving difficult events from the past, becoming discouraged when you can’t meet your own expectations, or feeling like you ignore your own needs in your relationships, you can’t help but blame yourself. You find yourself to be successful in many facets of your life, but you struggle to make changes in the areas that count.
