It takes vulnerability and courage to engage in the therapeutic process, to discover parts of ourselves that have remained hidden. Oftentimes when we are in a place of suffering, our guard is up and we can carry shame and fear. Wherever you are in your self-discovery, I encourage this process to be one filled with grace, acceptance, and patience. Collaboratively we will work as a team to dismantle the ways of coping that may no longer support you.

It can feel difficult to find real understanding from others, and the endeavor to feel understood can be exhausting. As your therapist, I will make and hold space for all your complexity.

As a woman stepping into adulthood, you find yourself afraid to face the unknown. Instead of feeling excitement about what's to come, you're paralyzed by insecurities--that deep down you might be a fraud, that you don’t measure up, that you’re never going to be “good enough”. These thoughts have seeped into your career, your education, your relationships. You feel isolated and hopeless, uncertain of what to do next. That voice of doubt inside of you won't shut up and it's holding you back from finding your purpose. I’m here to tell you that just because that voice is LOUD, does not mean that what it’s telling you is TRUE.

Are you overthinking, overworking, or overwhelmed? I can help. I work with individuals and couples to be present and find joy, whether you're going through a big transition, wanting to rekindle "the spark", looking to find love, trying to set boundaries, or dealing with anxiety. Using therapy as an experimental space we'll work to find your unique meaning & purpose by exploring the parts of you that feel hard to access or name- criticism, self-doubt, inadequacies, relationship struggles. Our work will also help you discover your strengths & passions. Together, we'll examine your choices and imagine a new way of being.

I began my career as a practicing attorney representing women in abusive relationships in order of protection and divorce proceedings. As a therapist, I use my legal and therapeutic background to provide individual counseling prior to, during, and after divorce. Divorce is a traumatic life event that can have a ripple effect on nearly every aspect of one's life. I offer clients both concrete help to better understand the legal system and what they can expect from the process, while also working to gain deeper insight into what happened in the relationship and starting to heal from the experience.

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is a collaborative partnership. I strive to create a safe space for my clients to feel empowered in their curiosity– to be curious about themselves, curious about their relationships with others, and curious about what they want for their future. I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, life transitions, relationship conflict, and trauma. I also have experience helping families navigate changing dynamics and supporting caregivers in the constantly changing and challenging journey of parenting.

An exciting moment happens in therapy when a personal challenge is examined from a renewed perspective. In that moment, what once seemed difficult can take on new meaning. It has the potential to become a defining moment that inspires continued change, growth, and healing. Furthering this process is the potential realization that these ideas were already innate and just awaiting connection.

People find themselves looking for the help of a professional when their previous ways of coping are no longer effective and they feel lost or stuck. Therapy is an opportunity for change. By entering into therapy, you offer yourself an opportunity to explore your needs and feelings with an insightful, caring professional who can support you in finding new ways of meeting the challenges in your life. I am interested in helping my patients understand themselves, their behaviors, and their experiences by making meaning of how past experiences have impacted them and potentially influence current behaviors, relationships, and life circumstances.
