Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am originally from Upstate NY but lived in the SF Bay/Los Angeles, CA areas before moving to Raleigh. I work with a wide variety of issues specializing in life transitions, grief, loss, and trauma as well as depression and anxiety. I have assisted people with issues surrounding divorce/relationships ending, death of a loved one, traumatic events, chronic illness, feelings of depression and/or anxiety, and a wide array of other difficult life situations. I would be happy to talk to you about your individual situation. It is important to me that you feel accepted and welcomed.

You feel the pressure to be perfect all the time-from nutrition and exercise to parenting and your home. You can’t get your brain to shut off. Lying in bed, driving, sitting at your desk…the worry is overwhelming. Maybe it’s about your kids, your job, your marriage, or your health. On and on it goes and you can’t control it. Decision making can be paralyzing and you’re constantly doubting yourself. The restlessness makes you constantly on edge.You’re told you’re “not supposed to worry” and then feel guilty and out of control because you can’t cope with it. “Something must be wrong with me,” you tell yourself. It’s exhausting.

You feel anxious, guilty, and stretched too thin. Old family patterns show up in your relationships, leaving you resentful, angry, or unsure of yourself. Living with ADHD or other neurodivergence may add to the overwhelm, making it harder to keep up with the demands of parenting, partnership, and work. You find yourself snapping or shutting down, then feeling weighed down by guilt and self-doubt. More than anything, you want to feel grounded, confident, and present again. I help parents and therapists navigate anxiety, identity, and relationships with compassion through a trauma-informed, attachment-based, feminist lens.

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor, MRC, LCMHCS, CTRP-C

I practice with the belief that that therapy can be a rich and vital exploration into understanding the deepest parts of our selves: the parts we like and the parts we wish to change. We all have unconscious patterns that can get in the way of living the life we want. These patterns can manifest as anxiety, depression, phobias, physical illness or pain, addiction and even rage. These symptoms can affect relationships, work, self esteem, creativity and sexuality. Change is possible when these patterns can be expressed and understood in an open and accepting space.

My ideal clients are teens and adults who may be feeling anxious, down, or unclear in their path. When these anxieties, worries, or depression take over, life can start to feel heavier than it needs to. You may find yourself feeling disconnected in your relationships, imagining worst-case scenarios, or feelings unsure about which direction to take next. Even when things look fine on the outside, it can be exhausting to carry so much on the inside. I also enjoy working with clients navigating major life changes, communication challenges, and discomfort that can come with starting over or feeling out of control.

Life can be challenging at times and wrought with frustrations, sadness or anxiety. However, with therapy, those challenges don't have to be insurmountable. I believe therapy is about guiding you toward an emotionally healthy path in order to create the life you desire. The fact that you are searching for a therapist who feels like a "good fit" is an important first step (and a very courageous one). My goal is to support you along your journey by providing a non-judgmental and respectful atmosphere, as we jointly work toward you finding a more balanced Life. I am a somatic therapist and believe that healing begins in the body.

Together, we'll create a space where you feel understood and build practical tools for real life chang- one step at a time.

When life is hard, therapy helps. Sadness, anxiety, issues in our relationships, complications of aging, work stress, illness, family conflict, they can all feel overwhelming. Talking through life events can decrease the pain we feel, and support our ability to manage stressors. Therapy is a place to sort out what is working for you and what you want to change in life - and it makes change possible. I bring lots of years of experience and a belief in the positive effect of warmth and humor combined with evidence based therapeutic strategies.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in relationship or behavior patterns that no longer serve you? You might be an adult navigating relationship struggles, anxiety, self-doubt, or impulsive behaviors—or a teen or young adult feeling pressure, perfectionism, or uncertainty about who you are and where you’re headed. If you want more than quick fixes and are seeking understanding, emotional safety, stronger boundaries, and real change, you’re in the right place. Together, we can explore patterns with curiosity and compassion and build a life that feels more connected and authentic.

My ideal clients are those who often feel like "outsiders" or feel the exhaustion of trying to fit into boxes that weren't built for them. I focus on supporting neurodivergent, LGBTQIA2+, and BIPOC individuals who are tired of "performing" or code-switching just to be heard. Many come to me feeling stuck under the weight of generational trauma, systemic pressure, or the belief that their value is tied only to their productivity.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, an encouraging month to work on your mental health! Everything you need to heal is already within you, and my work with you will help build motivation, awareness, confidence, and understanding that nurtures these strengths that exist, but are difficult to see when external and internal challenges are faced in life. Not everyone is the same and not one particular treatment model will be the best fit. Therefore, I will meet you where you are at on this journey towards healing, and provide quality of care that will be person centered and tailored to your specific needs.
