I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who believes therapy should feel like a safe, grounding space—somewhere you can show up fully as yourself and be met with warmth, curiosity, and compassion. My work is deeply personalized, shaped by who you are and what you need, not by a one-size-fits-all model.
My style is warm and relational, with room for humor and honesty. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one where I walk alongside you, help make sense of the patterns that no longer serve you, and support you in building a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and fully your own.

It can often be a challenge to find a counselor to connect with, to feel comfortable sharing your experiences with and that seem to "get you". We also often want someone that cannot only understand and empathize but also to challenge behaviors/beliefs in a way that help create introspective thought, growth and change. I endeavor to join you on your journey, exploring what you seek, while also embracing the idea that sometimes you just need the ability to share safely and authentically in a supportive environment.

If you've found your way to this page, chances are you've been carrying something that feels heavy for too long, and you're ready for a change.
Trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, or painful patterns may have left you feeling disconnected from yourself or others, and no matter how hard you try, it can feel difficult to break free.
First, I want you to know this: there's nothing "wrong" with you. The way you respond makes sense given what you've been through-your nervous system has been doing its best to protect you after "too much too soon, too much for too long, or not enough for too long”.

I provide therapy for individuals and couples navigating a variety of issues. I particularly enjoy working with adults dealing with anxiety related to perfectionism, over-functioning, burnout, or codependency / boundary issues. I also work with those navigating relationship challenges, family of origin issues, religious trauma, or spiritual integration. A good therapeutic fit for my approach is someone interested in doing deep introspective work, exploring the roots underneath presenting problems and including the body in the process.

We all have the capacity to reach our fullest potential. Yet all too often we find ourselves stuck in negative patterns of thinking and acting, unable to see other possibilities. Therapy allows us to make meaning of our difficult life experiences and open up to new ways of thinking, feeling, and being. I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can learn to identify and express their emotions effectively, develop healthy ways of coping with difficult emotions, improve the quality of their relationships, and increase their self-esteem and sense of self-worth.

Therapy may seem intimidating, but sometimes what you are most afraid of doing can be the very thing that will set you free! I believe that therapy, coupled with a mindset of positivity, can be the life-changing event that propels you out of negative circumstances. Unexpected things are going to happen in life, people may disappoint us; all we can really control is how we choose to handle things. I utilize courage, humor, empathy, and emotionally focused techniques to create a safe, non-judgemental space for couples, adults, and adolescents to explore, heal, and achieve lasting change in their lives.

My clients consistently tell me what a profound positive impact our collaborative work in therapy has made on their lives, especially after they have felt "stuck" for a long time. Being able to "connect the dots," gain insights, and change behaviors can bring great relief and a sense of hope. I enjoy helping individuals, couples, or families cope with past, present, or chronic stressors and regain power and control over their lives and relationships. This is especially true for people who have experienced traumatic events and (as a result) may have symptoms of anxiety, panic, depression, and/or anger.
