Curiosity is key when it comes to understanding ourselves and the relationships we navigate. Embracing our desire to know ourselves allows us to examine emotions, behaviors, and patterns without judgement, leading to deeper self awareness. I offer a supportive space where we can explore your experiences together, using curiosity as a tool for growth and change. I bring warmth, humor, and compassion to our work together.

I have a diverse background in the evidence-based treatment of persons with trauma, eating disorders, co-occurring disorders, anxiety, mood disorders, LGBTQIA+ challenges and gender dysphoria. For clients with PTSD and other trauma, common goals include symptom reduction, coping, exploration and healing. With eating disorders, my practice is most appropriate for clients who have attended a higher level of care (e.g. Intensive Outpatient, Residential, PHP) and are looking to confront issues underlying the eating disorder. Clients seeking gender affirming care will find support with expression, transition, relationships and more.

Being human is difficult! As you grow in your understanding of yourself and your world, you will begin to find that you have more choices than you thought possible — real alternatives to being defeated, becoming numb, or simply being trapped in knee-jerk patterns and reactions. Growth in this way does require trust and vulnerability, but not just from you — from both of us! My deepest hope is to be a compassionate collaborator and a source of safety and insight as you make small steps towards big change.

Whether it be little moments or big ones, it is my belief that we have all experienced some degree of trauma in life. No matter the degree, the impact on us can be significant. In trying to make sense of these experiences, we can all benefit from having witnesses to our experiences and pain. We are not meant to live life alone. For many this leads us to look for a therapist. As a therapist, but also just as a person, it is an honor each time I am invited to bear witness to someone else's story.

It's plain to see that world bombards us with ample reason to live in fear, doubt, and negativity. Yet, we all possess the ability to change, and to make good on the hope toward a rich, full, and confident life. We can't erase our pasts, but we can work together in the present to find new ways of thinking and being that produce the lives we want.

Do you find yourself stuck in overthinking or constantly critiquing yourself? Do you question whether you’ve done “enough” or measure your worth by productivity or performance?
Many of us try to outthink our insecurities — promising to be more disciplined, more positive, or more confident. Yet the harder we push to change our thoughts or feelings, the more we end up feeling anxious, discouraged, or strained in our relationships.
That cycle of striving and self-correction can quietly fuel anxiety, depression, and disconnection.
So what actually creates lasting change?

You don't have to be perfect. Do you find yourself constantly striving for validation and acceptance? Are your days consumed by endless to-do lists, relentless self-criticism, and the paralyzing fear of being judged? Perfectionism & people pleasing isn't about doing your best—it's a crushing cycle of never feeling good enough.
Your inner critic is always watching, always judging, never satisfied. The result? Chronic stress, anxiety, and a profound sense of exhaustion that leaves you feeling trapped and depleted. I get it, I've been there, and there is a way out.

March & April Intakes open now! - You know how to juggle a million things. You’re constantly on the go and doing everything for everyone. There’s no time to stop and not a minute to spare. Sometimes you get in a flow and think, “I’ve got this!” But when you hit a bump in the road - your strong exterior comes crashing down. Suddenly everything is a disaster and nothing is working. You hate this. You don’t know why you feel this way - nothing is seriously “wrong” or “bad” in your life. You are wondering, “Why does it seem like everyone else has it figured out?” The harder that you work to get things together - the worse you feel.

Life is hard enough without having to go through it alone. No matter who you are or where you are from, my greatest wish for you at the outset is for you to recognize that we all have complications — we could all benefit from growth and healing. As we embrace these realities, we also learn to embrace all of the parts of ourselves, including those that most need our attention and affection. Make no mistake, the path to growth can be difficult. It involves equal parts frustration and exploration, and even a good dose of humor! But when we face ourselves, we may also find that the outcome is beautiful, rewarding, and even enchanting.

When life hurts, things like joy, hope, and resilience can feel impossible—but it doesn’t have to. You may feel worn down by anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or intense emotions. You might feel stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from yourself, while still hoping something could change. You are looking for a therapist who is warm, affirming, and collaborative. Someone who listens closely and doesn't rush or judge. Together, we'll create the space where possibility exists.

Question: What if the stories you've been telling yourself, particularly those in the genre of self-defeat and -sabotage, simply aren't true? I'd be more than happy to offer a few personal examples, but, by the mere fact that you're reading this, my guess is there's a pretty good chance you already have at least one doozy of your own. Anyway, if this just so happens to resonate, I would encourage you to visit my website for more information about my approach to psychotherapy and to consider if we might indeed be a good fit. You can do so via the "My website" button here on this page.

We all know how hard it can be going through life day by day. Sometimes it can be changes in work, relationships, and life direction. Other times it might be coping with traumatic life events. Processing different emotions and transitioning through life's changes may sometimes feel overwhelming, but that's okay! No one can deal with all of life's obstacles alone, and that's where I step in to help. I'm here to provide a comfortable space where you can vent, cry and laugh while exploring your different emotions.

Each day brings new challenges. Some involve our families or our jobs or our relationships, but all involve our minds. Healing begins with the recognition that these battles are not obstacles, but doorways, to a better life — opportunities to develop ourselves in ways we couldn’t previously imagine. You possess the capacity for greatness. You have a purpose! Awareness and the vulnerability to trust another human are keys to unlocking your potential in these ways. Therapy provides an outlet to experience yourself as such, and to work toward the harmony and inner peace you’ve longed for.

I'm most passionate about helping people who find that fear, shame, or self-criticism hold them back from living the lives they want. I support clients in tapping into their unique strengths and values to help them find freedom from conditions like anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.

Life experiences can shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. You may find yourself overperforming, people‑pleasing, or trying to prove you’re “good enough.” These patterns often develop in response to trauma and can leave you feeling disconnected or unsafe. Trauma can come from many experiences and affect your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. If you’re seeking deeper healing, you may be a good fit for my practice. As a certified EMDR therapist, I help clients heal trauma and build greater safety, resilience, and self‑trust in daily life.

Whether it happened a month ago or a decade ago, trauma can turn your world upside down. By helping you create new feelings of safety within your body, mind, and community, you can move past the negative impacts of trauma to find your new normal.

Part of being human is the inevitability of encountering difficulty. Most of us accept this quite easily, but it is harder for us to accept *ourselves* while we face that difficulty! So many of our experiences in our families and our culture train us to ignore or get rid of our emotions, so space or compassion for ourselves seem next to impossible. Together and with mutual vulnerability and creativity, my heartfelt wish is to effectively nurture and challenge you, and to help you discover resources within and without to meet your experiences with strength, clarity, and hope.
