Are you dealing with anxiety, sadness, shame, grief, trauma or stuff you really want to let go of in your life? Or perhaps you are feeling a sense of not being good enough, struggling with confidence and self-criticism? Pain may show up as feeling numb or angry, withdrawing from school or work, family and friends. Hiding the stress doesn't help you feel better. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, focused on helping you deal with pain from the past and deal with present challenges with greater ease and confidence. If you'd like to feel better about yourself and your life, I can help you get there.

When we feel deeply connected and understood, we can live more authentically and joyfully. But when we feel stuck or conflicted, clarity can seem out of reach. With over 20 years of experience, I help clients work through challenges, heal from the past, and shift from simply doing to truly being—clear, connected, and engaged in life. I specialize in supporting individuals and families who find themselves at a crossroads—whether in their relationships, careers, or ways of living. In my couples work, I help partners communicate more openly, understand each other more deeply, and create a stronger, more compassionate connection.

Therapy can be a profound experience, but it can also be a simple one. I help my patients figure out what they want out of life so they can go out and get it. My approach is centered around providing the time and space for you to talk, explore, study your feelings, and truly listen to yourself. In my experience, this is where the magic of psychotherapy begins. My patients are often individuals who are genuinely curious about themselves and their feelings. They want to set aside an hour each week to sit and talk.

Whether you're processing past wounds, coming into your identity, dealing with school stress or burnout, or just trying to figure out where you fit—I'm here to walk with you, not in front of you.

Change is hard. People often seek psychotherapy around change. They want to change. People in their life want them to change. Or some life change is affecting them in a meaningful way. Often, it's a combination. By working together I can help you in this challenge. I frequently work with adolescents and adults struggling with addiction in themselves or in their families. Many of my patients are addressing anxiety, depression, questions or challenges regarding their sexual orientation, infertility, life transitions, traumatic experiences or eating disorders and other compulsive behaviors. A lot of my patients are college or graduate students.

The choice to start psychotherapy, though difficult, can also prove exciting in that it offers the opportunity to heal, instill hope, and improve an understanding of oneself and others. My clients tell me that I possess a calm and warm demeanor and that I make them feel heard and not judged. I provide a safe and respectful space for individuals and families to process their experiences. Together, clients and I can explore concerns, collaborate to find solutions, and discover ways to better address and cope with new stressors if and when they arise.

My passion as a therapist stems from my deep roots as a forever listener, supporter and lived life experiences. Within my own complex background, I have always been the person, people turned to when they needed a listening ear. I worked throughout my lifetime to understand the balance between listening and gently guiding people when it felt right in the moment. I learned from a young age, the importance of sitting with our feelings as a way to process and allow those feelings to move through us so they can be released.
