Experiencing unexplained anxiety, and not understanding our own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be really scary. Not being able to understand or effectively communicate with your child can be even scarier. If you are an overwhelmed parent of a child or adolescent who is experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, anger, explosive emotion, isolation, self-harm, or identity confusion, or you yourself are struggling to understand your own thoughts, feelings, or sexual/gender identity, I may be the right fit for you.

You don't have to continue carrying this alone. If you're here, chances are you are exhausted from holding it together. Maybe anxiety lives in your body no matter how much insight you have. Maybe grief has changed you in ways no one seems to understand. Or maybe your past still shows up, quietly or loudly, in your relationships, nervous system or sense of self. I specialize in helping adults and young adults heal developmental and relational trauma, anxiety and grief wounds using deeply trauma informed, body based approaches that go beyond talk therapy.

My clinical focus is to support you in exploring current concerns, developing insight and strategies to manage/problem-solve and to navigate whatever life throws at you. My training and experience encourage seeing ourselves in the context of our social environments: family, school, jobs, culture. Therapy as a collaborative process, building on the strengths you already have and moving to finding joy in the present moment. I utilize a client centered approach and develop an individualized plan, drawing on family systems, DBT/cognitive approaches, and insight orientated therapy. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and families.

I like many different types of clients. However, the ones that are truly interested in change and growth are the ones that seem to find their way to health the most quickly. My clients create their own goals and, hopefully, gain hope and strength to move towards achieving them.

Do you feel like everyone else received a 'life manual' you missed? You might have the degree or the job, but inside, you feel stuck or paralyzed by 'what’s next.' Perhaps you're struggling to figure out who you are outside of being a student, a professional, or a caregiver. Maybe you're tired of feeling 'behind' or simply going through the motions. You want a life that feels authentic and yours—not just one that looks good on paper. You’re ready to quiet your inner critic and start living with a genuine, self-defined sense of purpose. If you are ready to find your footing and move forward, let’s start that work together.

Thank you for visiting my psychology today page. I've been working with adults and couples for several years, and through my experience I've developed beliefs about healthy development. 1.) Our experiences shape who we are and everyone deserves to be treated with patience, respect and dignity. We need a safe environment to open up and develop self-compassion. 2.) We need support and cannot work through our problems alone; all psychological problems are relationship problems and it is for this reason the therapeutic alliance is necessary. 3.) It takes intention to change patterns of thinking and behaving.

Many people who find their way to my practice are carrying experiences that still feel unresolved, whether recent or long ago. They may notice feeling on edge, disconnected, or caught in patterns that no longer feel helpful. If that resonates, you’re not alone.
I offer a supportive, compassionate space to begin making sense of what happened, build practical tools, and feel more grounded in your daily life. Therapy with me is both safe and forward-moving. We go at a thoughtful pace while also creating clear direction. Together, we gently untangle the past, strengthen coping skills, and build a deeper sense of confidence and stability

I approach the therapy relationship from an open and collaborative perspective. I predominantly use interpersonal, mindfulness, and family systems theories in my clinical work. My commitment is to actively listen with compassion; to witness your growth; to learn about your worldview and experiences; and to provide support as we work towards your goals. I want my patients to feel immediate relief with self care, education, and some skill building. Long term maintenance of growth tends to include deeper self reflection, exploring coping and relationship patterns, and emotional awareness.
