We all deserve the opportunity to live healthy, fulfilling, authentic lives — and I’d be honored to help you create a path to that life.
I am particularly passionate about supporting folks dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and serious and/or chronic illnesses (including cancer), as well as those in the LGBTQIA+ community exploring their sexuality or gender identity. If you feel grief or anxiety over something that other people don’t quite “get” (like the loss of a pet or the state of the climate) I can provide an affirming, supportive environment to process and sit with those complicated feelings.

Having completed fellowships in Child & Adolescent Psychodynamic Therapy, and Adult Psychodynamic Therapy, I work primarily with children, adolescents, and young adults. I work from a base of psychodynamic and interpersonal talk therapy (in the form of play with younger children) to build awareness and to work through internal distress or conflict. I augment this work by using third-wave CBT modalities, which draw on mindfulness strategies and skills, in order to use ‘achieved awareness and understanding’, to live in new, more balanced, skillful, and regulated ways.

I'm trained in EMDR, an evidence-based approach proven effective for trauma and anxiety: Are you struggling to stay connected with yourself and those around you? Do your needs often take a back seat, and feelings of guilt make it hard to say "no" without second-guessing? Perhaps it's been so long since life felt different that you've almost forgotten what it's like. But now, you're ready for a change—to put your well-being first, express yourself freely, and break free from the heavy weight of obligation and guilt. Let's work together to help you find relief, regain balance, and rediscover the life you deserve.

Clients come to counseling for various reasons. In my experience with the clients, some of them just needed time and space for them to be heard because they did not have that resource with others in their life. Their friends and family could be great support but couldn’t necessarily offer professional help such as treatment. Some people, including myself, may struggle with things they are not able to express clearly. Some may be just confused about life and need some coaching from the counselors.

I love helping my clients identify where they are feeling stuck and learn what their triggers are so they can feel more in control of their lives. I encourage them to define for themselves what brought them to therapy, what they want from it, and then how it helped them change over the course of time. It is a unique relationship and support, offering perspectives that are not otherwise available. I emphasize that it takes courage, not weakness, to face difficult issues.
