I'm accepting new clients for in-person & virtual sessions. I provide therapy for youth (12+) and adults. Life can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling low or disconnected from the person you want to be. You don't have to silently face your challenges all on your own. Talking with a supportive professional outside of your social circle can give you a private place to talk about what you are experiencing and act as a start to begin healing. My goal is to create a warm, patient, and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and understood; as I believe feeling understood is the first step towards change.

Sometimes, the weight we carry isn’t visible, i.e., grief, guilt, exhaustion, or the silent burden of being everything for everyone. It can leave you (and your partner) feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and stuck. Maybe you're doing your best to support others while feeling like you're unraveling on the inside. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma and are still waiting for the world to feel safe again? Or maybe you're simply tired of dissociating, of pretending, of staying composed while suffering in silence. If any of this resonates, you're not alone. And there is nothing wrong with you.

Living with OCD can feel like being trapped in an exhausting cycle of worry, doubt, and fear. Obsessions are like horror stories your brain creates in an attempt to keep you safe. When the thoughts take over, it’s a natural reaction to try to get rid of them. However, by doing so, it sends a message to your brain: “This must be important! Send more!” In therapy, we practice breaking this cycle so you can start living life on your own terms. I work with individuals and families as they navigate the challenges of OCD and take meaningful steps toward recovery, every day.

Are you struggling to find balance in your daily life challenges? I work with individuals and couples that may be experiencing emotional dysregulation, irregular feelings or feelings of insignificance in their lives or relationships. If you're experiencing difficulty with impulse control, overwhelming sadness or having difficulty processing grief or life transitions, you aren't alone. I understand the isolation of feeling dysregulated and trapped without the ability to express intense thoughts and feelings.
