Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when emotional challenges have been present for some time. Children and teens may struggle to express what they’re feeling, and adults often find themselves holding stress, worry, or emotional exhaustion quietly. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where clients feel safe, understood, and encouraged to permit themselves to begin meaningful change.

Welcome. I am glad you’re here. Finding a therapist is hard. I want to make it easy. When we feel stuck, burdened by unhealthy patterns, or are experiencing life transitions, we can feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, and lost. You have come to the right place. Therapy is a tool, much like visiting a doctor for your physical health, that can help you get back on track. My style is warm, authentic, and non-judgmental. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment by listening closely and responding with compassion. I will give you plenty of space to share, explore, and deepen your insight.

As a therapist, I believe that every individual has the potential to flourish. Flourishing involves enhancing happiness, well-being, and a sense of purpose. To achieve this, individuals must understand and nurture their strengths. By cultivating personal strengths, people can deepen interpersonal relationships, increase joy and satisfaction, and contribute meaningfully to society.

My ideal client is someone who makes that phone call to ask for help and is ready to begin clarifying goals to improve some aspect of their life. Issues that they may be facing include self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, lack of coping and communication skills, family dynamics, grief, etc. The most important thing for me to do to help my clients with all their needs is to provide a safe environment, build rapport with them by making them feel comfortable, and assisting them in prioritizing what they want to work on.

You’re successful, driven, and the one others lean on. But lately, something feels off. Maybe your relationship with food feels chaotic or controlling. Maybe you are navigating an unexpected loss of a person, a role, or a sense of certainty, and trying to keep functioning as if nothing's changed. The pressure may feel like it is chipping away at your well being.
I specialize in working with high-achieving women who are used to managing everything until the day something feels unmanageable. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, disordered eating, burnout, or grief, I provide a space where you don’t have to be the strong one.

Individuals can get stuck and couples often bicker over seemingly small stuff. The easy solutions don't work. Why? In many cases, those petty problems are tethered to larger meanings for the individuals. The real solutions need to address these deeper issues.
I provide a place where individuals and couples can safely explore and clarify -- what's really going on here? With both individuals and couples, I encourage people to look inward -- how am I contributing to this impasse? How is this related to my history? And importantly, what can we do about it now?

I work with high-functioning individuals who feel stuck despite doing well on the outside. They often struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, and patterns in relationships where they give more than they receive. Many feel disconnected, exhausted, or unsure why things aren’t clicking the way they expected. In our work, we identify these patterns, build clarity, and develop practical strategies to help you feel more confident, grounded, and in control of your life and relationships.
