Stress and anxiety about identity confusion (who am I?), pushing down or avoiding your feelings, and complicated self-worth (your value feeling tied to performance, others’ opinions, or never quite feeling “enough”) are where I love to work. Even when you’re managing to make it through each day, there can be a constant sense of pressure, overwhelm, or disconnection that’s hard to name or slow down. I’d like to offer you a space to step out of holding it all together and begin understanding what’s happening underneath the surface so you can feel more grounded, clear, and connected to yourself again.

They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or weighed down by shame. They want relief from emotional pain, healthier relationships, stability, and a stronger sense of identity and purpose. Ultimately, they want to feel understood, regain control of their lives, and move forward with confidence and self-compassion.

Life can be difficult and it’s easy to feel lost and unsure of what to do next. Therapy can be a safe place to process the difficulties that life brings. It can offer you a place to feel heard, understood, and empowered to make the changes you would like to see. My mission is to empower individuals and families to nurture their mental health by processing, growing, and healing in a safe and open environment. When exploring life and its many difficulties, where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’d like to be, it is important that you feel supported along the way. This is where I come in.

A lingering sense that something is off. A low-grade discomfort that follows you. A weight on your shoulders you’ve learned to carry. But what if life didn’t have to feel this way? What if the days could become more vibrant as you release your burdens? In a compassionate therapeutic space, I can join you on a journey of self-exploration. Together, we can sit with your pain and challenges at a pace that feels safe, gently rewriting the narratives and parts that no longer serve you. Through the process, healing unprocessed wounds becomes possible, creating room for a life aligned with your values of love, joy, and authenticity.

Post-traumatic stress and anxiety can quietly narrow your life, leaving little room for relationships, work, or rest you want. I offer trauma-informed therapy for adults who are seeking real change and post-traumatic growth. Together we work to ease the fight-or-flight response, gently process the fears it protects, and rebuild a steady sense of hope. Resilience grows through self-understanding, practical regulation skills, and a restored sense of self-worth. I bring an empathic, goal-oriented presence and respect for the courage it takes to begin this work.

I work with individuals that are struggle with chronic depression and/or anxiety who cope with these issues by "over functioning" and "over obsessing." Many of my patients have chronic health conditions or have been affected by someone with a chronic illness. Usually beneath anxiety and depression are deeper core issues related to self esteem and self worth. Many of my patients are high functioning individuals in one or two areas of their life, but have struggled with balancing relationships and mental health.

Many of us were handed confusing mixed messages about sex and love: from bad sex ed, rom-coms, porn, or well-meaning peers. These stories shape what we think we should want, feel, or do and leave us disconnected from what we really need. Together, we’ll sort through all the noise so you can reclaim what feels good, rewrite outdated scripts about sex and intimacy, and feel more at home in your body. Whether you're navigating mismatched desires, communication breakdowns, finding out what you're into, or totally redefining sex, I'm here to guide you with empathy, humor, and yes, some serious potty mouth. No topic is too weird or taboo!

THERApY SUCkS! Not really. . .. but it can be uncomfortable. I can help. I currently have a waitlist for new clients for standard therapy sessions, however I am taking new clients for intensives. An intensive session is an efficient and novel approach to trauma therapy where we spend anywhere from 2 to 4 hours in focused sessions. Additionally, I offer 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day intensive sessions working with EMDR and/or ART. I am trained in EMDR (through an EMDRIA approved training) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a relatively new, evidence-based therapy for PTSD and trauma. Reach out for a free consult to learn more.

When you wake up in the morning, just before you open your eyes you can feel their presence whoever they maybe, but then your eyes open and reality sets in. You hear the horrid sound of an alarm blaring in your ear. It is time to wake up, to remember they are gone and you are still here. Your grief feels as though it never turns off. It swirls around you all day and night while you try and live life as if the grief is not trying to constantly swallow you. You are looking for someone to listen to the woes of grief and the darkness that follows. You just want someone to understand how hard it is to be the one here when they are gone.
