At some point or another, each of us comes up against sticking points, loss of direction, or painful experiences. It is not always the case that "time heals all wounds." Unresolved issues can impact us over our lifetime. Therapy is one tool to help you unlock your inner strengths for healing and growth. You may be seeking help for your child or teen or trying to understand and support your child better. You may be looking to start therapy for yourself either for the first time or after a long treatment history. Whatever brings you into my office, together we will work to find your unique path to your goals.

I am trained in trauma-focused CBT, substance abuse treatment and recovery, work with grief and loss, women's issues and strengths-based therapy.
I am a clinical social worker bringing a lifetime of experience to my work, helping clients to identify what's working and what's not; what is going well, and what they would like to change. I am a creative problem solver and excel at helping people get unstuck! I use my experience as a teacher, a human services professional, a small business owner and a clinical social worker to inform my practice and support client growth. I am eclectic in my approach, most often using cognitive behavioral therapy, brief therapy and positive psychology-however I draw from other approaches and theories to meet the needs of the client.

Accepting new clients. I am a trauma-informed psychologist with over 12 years of experience. I work with adults who seek a deeper understanding of themselves and their worlds, and those who want to heal from relational wounds or complicated childhoods. As a relational therapist, I value getting to know my clients as human beings first and foremost, while supporting them in creating a path towards authentic healing and growth. I see clients with depression, anxiety, CPTSD (complex trauma), relationship issues, and experiences around gender, sexuality, and identity, among other concerns.

Managing the tumultuous times of late childhood and adolescence is not easy. Your child or teen may be trying to figure out who they are, who they want to be, or even just how to get through each day. All of this is even more challenging if they are struggling with anxiety, OCD, or trauma. I am here to help build important skills to manage difficult feelings and experiences and be a partner in having hard but important conversations. I see therapy as a way of having a better understanding of oneself, learning strategies for new ways of thinking and acting, and developing and working toward meaningful goals.

I think we can all agree that feeling stuck and directionless in life is a miserable feeling. It can also be deceiving. You might have everything “all together” on the outside, but in reality, you haven’t felt that spark in life for some time now. If you were being completely honest, how long do you think it’s been since you truly took care of your needs? If it’s been a while, you might have been putting the needs of others before your own, which means you could be in burnout territory. You deserve to feel excited about your life! You deserve to feel better than just "meh."

Do you feel not good enough, no matter what you do? You may be fed up with nitpicking yourself, second guessing yourself, or constantly trying to please others. You might not remember when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to prioritize your needs for once. You’re ready to feel safe in your own skin. And most of all, you’re ready to form a deeper connection with yourself and others. I can help you discover who you are underneath the mask you have created, because therapy should be a place where you understand and embrace your true self.
