I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, addiction, suicidal thoughts, and major life transitions. Many clients come to me after a crisis or when they feel stuck despite trying to manage on their own. Together, we identify what's driving the problem, develop practical strategies, and use evidence-based treatment to help you regain stability, build resilience, and move forward with confidence.

Together, we’ll focus on building emotional resilience, improving relationships, and helping you feel more confident and in control of your life.

Relationships should be a source of support, not another item on your 'stress' list. I specialize in helping individuals and couples move through the alphabet soup of complex trauma, chronic illness, and relational conflict using evidence-based tools like the Gottman Method and Attachment-based therapy.
My approach is deeply affirming, sex-positive, and inclusive of all relationship structures, including CNM and Kink communities. I believe therapy is a collaborative bridge between your past experiences and your future well-being.

Update April 2025: Currently, meetings are through telehealth only. I currently work with teens, young adults, and adults. Mood disorders, veteran history, relationships, and PTSD (both acute and chronic) are areas of clinical interest. Those who seek to be responsible for their own happiness, whether through acceptance or through efforts to change and grow, are the people I hope most to meet.

You’ve been told to “get over it,” that you “shouldn’t feel that way,” and that you’re “so negative.” So you tried to ignore your pain and it got stronger. You reprimanded yourself when difficult emotions surfaced. You found yourself feigning happiness to please those you spend time with. You’ve bottled up the past, feel unsteady in the present, and fear the future. Your ability to balance family commitments, work responsibilities, and social obligations is put to the test each day. You’re losing sight of who you are and where you’re going, but you haven’t lost your hope.
