Hi. I'm excited you are looking into therapy and would like to support you on your journey. I am a licensed clinical social worker with nearly 20 years of experience.

I encourage you to express yourself authentically in session, and I welcome people of all identities, expressions, and backgrounds.

Hello, I am so glad you stopped by! My therapy style is person centered with the belief that everyone is doing the best they can. I have experience in helping all ages with identifying and treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and relationship conflict. I have worked with adults, children, teens, families, and couples in a Telehealth platform. It’s important to me that my clients feel comfortable in sessions while we work to challenge those negative thoughts that lead to destructive feelings and behaviors. My goal is for my clients to feel seen, understood and hopeful about their future.

Accepting new clients for telehealth only. Are you grappling with difficult thoughts, feelings, or experiences? Are you looking to unpack how past experiences show up in your day-to-day life? This work can feel daunting or difficult to do alone, and it can feel extremely vulnerable. This is probably why you're seeking an insightful and compassionate therapist; someone who can assist you in building coping skills and alleviating the symptoms you encounter, while meeting you where you're at. I hope to provide the services you need to meet your mental health goals.

You feel like it’s time to take care of yourself. Every time you try to devote time to yourself, life somehow gets in the way. Family, kids, work, school. It’s also the thoughts and feelings that keep you up at night. You hope to bring a sense of clarity to your life. You no longer want to feel led by all the “have tos” or “shoulds” in your life. You constantly support everyone around you. You are ready to receive support for yourself. Together in therapy, we will create a space of safety, curiosity, and kindness so you can heal. You will learn to be as compassionate towards yourself as you are towards others.

Now, more than ever, you may find yourself or a loved one carrying an extra heavy load.

My practice emphasizes therapeutic treatment of individuals with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues and interpersonal conflict. My primary goal is to provide an open, empathic environment where life's challenges can be confronted, overcome, and some of the load can be lightened and left behind.

Now Accepting Clients. Available for post-hospitalization appointments starting June ‘24. Let's work with your brain, not against it! I can help you make sense of how your mind works and why it does what it does. Our sessions will focus on getting you closer to the life you want using cognitive science, techniques from evidence-based therapies (primarily DBT, ACT, CBT), and your unique expertise on your own experience.

I offer deep, effective counseling treatment. I specialize in relationship struggles, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, complex trauma, high stress/burn out and depression. My advanced training focuses on helping clients to resolve past traumas in order to relieve current emotional distress and psychological symptoms. I focus on healing from a body / somatic experiencing standpoint. I support clients in cultivating feelings of peace, confidence and connection. This paves the way for improved relationships with both self and others. In my practice, an emphasis is placed on personal development and revitalization.

I believe that helpful therapy unfolds in an environment that is comfortable, empowering, safe, and one that allows for full expression. It is also important that the person I am working with can sense that I am listening attentively as they share the various layers of their experience. Individuals often seek help because they are unsettled or upset by what they are feeling. I aim to help clients "hold" their current experience without becoming overwhelmed, and eventually, to use those feelings as valuable information as we move through the therapeutic process.

Offering in-person service. I believe that any person is capable of change given the education and tools. My approach to therapy is interactive and holistic, looking beyond the traditional focus of “one size fits all”, I synthesize and integrate concepts and treatment models to fit the uniqueness of your personality and needs.

Does it sometimes feel like you're trying to pour from an empty cup? Perhaps you have been feeling stuck, burnt out, or overwhelmed with stress. I help those who feel like they are drowning in unmanageable worry and difficult emotions learn new ways of navigating their world. I specialize in working with young adults and college students, people exploring their gender identity who need support in their transition process, and geeks of all ages who don't want to feel misunderstood by their nerdy interests. Together, we will develop new strategies to help you feel calmer and more empowered to navigate whatever life throws your way.

I have a passion for people and mental health and recognize the strength and commitment it takes to assess and manage our emotions and behavior. I am dedicated to empowering my clients in making the meaningful changes necessary to move toward their goals and improve their quality of life. I believe every person has the potential to overcome life's challenges and achieve the outcomes they desire. I embrace a person-centered, solution-focused, and collaborative therapeutic approach in which my clients and I work together to explore, identify, and achieve their goals.
