Thanks for visiting my profile! I specialize in adults (ages 19 - 40's) dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career challenges, and family conflicts—among other struggles. My approach is to work together to find a clinical modality that addresses your style and need; such modalities include CBT, emotion-focused therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS), and mindfulness meditation. In addition, I'm trained in the field of Positive Psychology, a.k.a. the scientific study of happiness. As such, my goal is to help clients both overcome challenges and optimize passion & well-being in their lives.

Feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed? Want to improve your relationships? Challenging times can also be opportunities because they activate the parts of us that need healing. This can also cause extreme feelings and thoughts to hijack us, making us feel overwhelmed or stuck. I truly believe we each have everything we need to live from a place of calm, courage, curiosity, and creativity. We just need to release the obstacles and burdens we carry and learn how to relate to ourselves differently.

Growing up, I found sex and sexuality to be important parts of life that no one talked about (especially in the household I grew up in). I found myself doing lots of research regarding sex, sexuality, motherhood, gender, reproductive rights, sexual health, and sexual education. At the age of 17, I realized I often found myself listening to and supporting others; then I discovered therapy. I could finally combine my interest in sexuality and gender studies with my ability to support and listen. Instantly, I knew this was the career path for me.

I work with teenage women and adult women who aspire to understand themselves more deeply, find their inner voice, and create healthy boundaries for their relationships and life. They value mindfulness, art, and creativity. These women may experience challenges in their relationships, or may wrestle with chronic illness. The folks I guide are open to looking at the root cause of symptoms or behaviors. They are open to exploring the mind and body from a WHOLE person approach and discovering the root cause of the symptom (s). They are open and ready for positive change and ask them to call on their courage!

My approach is to work collaboratively with clients to meet them where they are and learn their goals and aspirations so that we can develop a plan together to overcome obstacles. I have experience and enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. My work is focused on helping individuals and families that are struggling with mood and learning disorders, anxiety, trauma, and other challenges. Working with individuals & families experiencing and living with health challenges and/or disabilities is of particular interest to me.

You’re feeling stuck. You’re unsure where to go next. You’re feeling anxious, depressed, or “lost”. Maybe you’re questioning your path, your relationship, your self. Maybe you know you need to make a change but you’re unsure where to start. Are you doing things to fill a void- drinking too much, trying fad diet after fad diet, or looking for happiness in other people? You’ve noticed that your behaviors don’t match who you are. You’re irritable, frustrated, sad, or unfocused. You’re treating yourself and your loved ones differently and you want to make changes.

I believe that healing often occurs best in the context of a safe and trusting relationship between a client and therapist. As a psychotherapist, I strive to create a secure, caring, and collaborative relationship with each of my clients so that therapy is a place they feel fully seen, heard, understood, and respected. I work from an integrative and holistic perspective, meeting each client where they are and working collaboratively with clients to reach their own personal goals and to create lasting, meaningful change and healing in their lives.

I help people transform their relationships with food and body, themselves, and others. I work with clients recovering from eating disorders, body image concerns, depression and anxiety. I also support those facing perinatal challenges and other life transitions. As a therapist, I offer a nonjudgmental space for you to access your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions with a sense of curiosity. Together we’ll explore how your past experiences have shaped you and your present day life as well as your hopes for the future.

Are you feeling stuck or trapped? Do you need to drop into greater self-awareness or “grounding”, but you keep getting “triggered” and respond in your old ways? Have you tried meditation or yoga, yet feel something is missing? Have you sensed true “flow” and playfulness in your interactions with others or within yourself, but, sadly, it is just not consistent? Does your composure disappear when you need it most? Have you spent time learning how to develop your parenting and general relationship skills, but you keep reverting to prior patterns of reactivity. If so, try something new with me.
