I do my best work with adults who are challenging themselves to increase self-awareness, heal from past hurts, grow in current relationships, and prioritize their emotional and mental health needs. I regularly work with individuals who are working towards building self-confidence and are experiencing anxiety, depression, religious trauma, interpersonal issues, attachment concerns, PTSD, and women-specific concerns.

I believe that when you heal your mind, body and spirit you optimize your ability to heal your whole self. As a Dance Movement Therapist, I will assist you in developing a new relationship to yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually by assisting you in reestablishing your relationship with your body, through the use of verbal and nonverbal communication. I believe movement and learning to understanding your body will help you find your way to feeling better.

I have training in working with gender-based violence such as sexual assault, rape, and domestic violence.

I have experience working with different genders, sexual orientations, racial/ethnic backgrounds, and socioeconomic status.

Are you looking for a therapist for your preteen or teen? Or perhaps your a teen yourself looking for guidance. Do you or your child struggle with their emotions, friendships, perfectionism, anxiety, or a life stressor? Do you or your child have difficulty at school, appropriate social skills, or executive functioning? Well, you have come to the right place!

I am honored to be a part of the process of you reaching out for guidance and help. If you are a parent of a struggling child or a caregiver to an elderly relative experiencing changes and decline, I hope that I can be of assistance. I believe in treating the individual as well as making sure to examine their system of support. While the bulk of the work I do is 1:1 with the patient, I am also available to be supportive to caregivers. I also put a strong emphasis on the relational part of the therapeutic process, as it is the key to communication and understanding.

Are you feeling stuck, alone, or overwhelmed? Are you distressed by emotions of sadness, anxiety, or loneliness? Are you feeling unsupported or lost in your current relationship? I aim to provide a safe space to release your thoughts, process your emotions and behaviors, and heal. For whatever reason, you ended up here—and I am so glad you did! I'm here to help you by providing a warm and welcoming environment for you to be your most authentic you. I provide couples and family counseling, as well as individual psychotherapy.

Your inner critic says things like "Why can't you just stop doing this to yourself? You know this is all your fault." It also slides in with comments like "Why even bother....you're never going to be good enough anyway." and "Look at yourself. Why would anyone want to be with someone like you?" Sometimes you want to scream, and other times you just want to cry. Often, you find yourself missing out on friendships and social events because they don't fit in with your latest eating plan, or you're too down on yourself to be around anyone else. You find yourself feeling angry, lonely, and, sometimes, scared. It's not who you want to be.

My passion is creating a judgment-free zone which allows clients to better understand themselves, set and achieve goals, and work toward living as authentically as possible. I strive to empower others in discovering solutions to their unique life situations by further developing personal strengths while also addressing maladaptive patterns, and navigating challenges effectively. I approach each session with an open mind; receptive to my client's needs and pace.

Life is a journey with many roads. Some roads may be harder to navigate and it is my job as a counselor/therapist to assist you through those bumps in the road. It is important to build a trusting relationship while providing services in a safe and comfortable environment. Confidentially is a high priority, while ensuring empathy, "judgement free zone", and positive regard. I will assist with supplying the skills needed to cope with life's challenges. My goal is to ensure your goals are the focal point and to work towards your goal(s) each session.

I am passionate about helping people move from pain, tension, and chaos into integration, wholeness, and freedom. I work with teens and adults to help them make sense of their experiences of pain, release the burdens that have been weighing them down, and find more joy. I am particularly passionate about working within the Internal Family Systems (IFS) and AEDP models.

In moments we feel inadequate, uncertain, or even confused, we often look for a helping hand. As a therapist, I perfectly understand that we all need a little extra support at some point in our lives. Together, we will work out solutions that could help you grow as an individual. Working with me can help improve your emotional well-being, make peace with your past, and live the life you’ve always wanted. Our minds can get overwhelmed sometimes, but I will help you unravel what’s causing you stress. Whether it is anxiety, grief, abuse, or even a tough breakup – there will be no judgment from me. Help is just a phone call away.

You don’t have to go through this alone. A meaningful life is always full of challenges, and sometimes we need a trusted guide for a difficult leg of the journey. When you make the decision to try therapy, you deserve to feel safe, valued, and understood by your therapist. My approach is open and authentic. I believe in warmth, humor, and engaging as a human being, not just as a clinician.

I strive to create a non-judgmental supportive environment. I recognize that each individual is unique and tailor my approaches based on the goals you want to achieve. We have the strength and power to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives each and every one of us desires. Life is full of surprises and challenges. It is our perspective that defines how these challenges shape our lives. Positivity with guidance can help cultivate our best selves, enhance our personal relationships, and increase our happiness and well-being.

I know how difficult it can be to take those first steps in seeking out a new therapist. Life can be challenging in many ways and can be difficult navigating alone. I take great care in providing a safe and collaborative environment for my clients to explore their lives and various obstacles in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way. Some of the modalities I use include CBT, DBT, ART, IFS, Psychoanalytic, and Holistic. Building a trusting relationship and witnessing each client's journey is what I find most fulfilling about my work as a therapist.

You knew that becoming a mother was going to be challenging. After all, sleep deprivation, diapers, and midnight feedings are bound to take a toll on anyone. But...you didn't quite expect to feel so 'out of sorts', emotionally. You didn't know that pregnancy and motherhood could come with constant worrying (what if I drop the baby when I'm going down the stairs? What if she gets sick? What if I'm just not cut out for this?), periods of feeling super low/depressed, and feeling totally overwhelmed by the mental load of it all. You wish things felt a little easier, and that you were confident in your ability to manage this new season.
