I have 20+ years experience in supporting adult clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. My clients enjoy learning more about themselves and are lifelong learners. Many clients are identified as gifted and high-ability who're navigating strong emotional intensities, perfectionism, a sense of aloneness, and/or other existential challenges. I also support clients who're navigating life-threatening food allergies (including OIT patients), chronic illness and neonatal loss. I am an EMDR-certified therapist and currently completing an advanced certificate in logotherapy through a global institute.

My focus is to help people move through and overcome whatever obstacles are keeping them from experiencing a quality, fulfilling life. I work with a range of individuals and issues with either one person individually, or with a couple or family relationship. I have specialized training and education in treating ADHD in children and adults, in prenatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and trauma. I utilize a type of therapy called Somatic Experiencing to heal trauma which aims to restore the individual's nervous system to a less reactive state.

I specialize in women's issues! As a woman, demands placed on you by family, friends, colleagues, employers - and yes, by yourself too - can create challenges in your everyday life. Low self-esteem...feeling that you're lost...or that you'll never be good enough...people-pleasing...feelings of rejection or abandonment...all these issues can eat away at your confidence. It can seem impossible to navigate through them especially when you feel you have no support. It doesn't have to be this way. With the loving support of a compassionate therapist, you can recapture a sense of hope and optimism in your life.

In today’s society, emotional resiliency is a necessity, as stressors of everyday life can overwhelm, confuse, and disorient our minds. We struggle to be productive, feel fulfilled, and maintain healthy relationships with ourselves and others. Stress, anxiety, depression, loss, grief, and other adverse experiences can take a long-term toll on our health and overall happiness. We all strive to obtain this happiness, yet a great deal of us struggle to cope with daily tasks, and it can be even harder to make a positive change in our lives without proper motivation, validation, and support. That’s why I’m here!

Are you feeling paralyzed, unable to contribute, or have you mastered being a functionally anxious person? At one time or another you may have felt as if there is something wrong with you; you’re too needy, too sensitive, too emotional, or just too different. You may have started to believe that you are a phony or a failure. Maybe your life is not what you hoped or imagined it would be. You might even be wondering if there is a label that fits this feeling: an anxiety disorder, borderline personality, or chronic depression. Nevertheless, your experience has left you feeling isolated, insecure, and indecisive.

Everyone is doing the best that they can. But, often, "our best" feels far from what we imagine our best life to be. For so many, no matter what or how hard they try, they are stuck in patterns that don't change. This can lead to self-condemnation, shame and a loss of hope. In some cases, the problems began after an illness (like Covid) or a concussion. What if I told you that maybe its not "you." Maybe its your brain.

As they say, life is a journey filled with many different paths. Sometimes, we discover paths of joy, and other times we find ourselves on paths of sadness, confusion, or discomfort. During these times we may feel stuck and unsure of how to choose a different path or alter our journey. Seeking help along the way is not easy, but you have already taken the first step. In reality, it is a sign of strength to ask for help when you need it.
