I use a compassionate, trauma-informed, person-centered approach that strives to see the humanity in every client.

I specialize in treating individuals who suffer from chronic, persistent depression or difficulty regulating emotions, and find themselves using substance abuse or other unhealthy behaviors to manage their symptoms. I join with my clients to uncover what is maintaining those unhealthy patterns and learn new skills to cope. I also work with clients to identify how developmental trauma from childhood influences their coping style, and help them develop self-compassion and acceptance as a part of healing.

Our experiences shape who we are. Our identities influence the way we perceive and interact with the world, and the way the world perceives and interacts with us. Navigating the world in my intersectional identity, I understand the importance of providing an intentional and affirming space for folx from marginalized communities. As such, I offer a holistic approach to therapy that addresses the unique needs and identities of my clients. I work with women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA2+, and veteran communities. I also work with individuals who have experienced some form of abuse, trauma, oppression, inequity, or violence.

I work with individuals (ages 14 & up) looking for relief, direction, & improvement. I am licensed to see patients state-wide in CA & PA & FL through my online teletherapy practice. Most people I work with have busy minds & overthink...a lot. They are people pleasers & repeat patterns & behaviors that they know aren't helping them. They are people who want change & know that things don't need to be this hard. I see many people who are not only looking for coping strategies in difficult moments, but who are looking for useful & impactful tools to help them to feel better not just in a difficult moment, but for the long term.

Are you caught in repeating loops of distress, distance, or a persistent feeling of not
being enough? For the adults, couples, and families I work with, this often surfaces as
conflict at home, navigating difficult life changes, or carrying the unspoken weight of
what previous generations endured. You have a deep desire to break these cycles, to
understand the "why" behind your feelings, and to build a home environment where trust isn't a goal, but the ground beneth your feet. You are not just looking for a quick fix; you are seeking a fundamental shift toward a life that feels more authentic, connected, and truly your own.

Are you ready for some extra support to help you find some relief and healing? Trauma and negative past experiences can leave us feeling off balance, overwhelmed, and out of control. EMDR has been proven to reduce the effects of trauma and provide much needed relief. I have seen so much healing with clients (and for myself) through EMDR. I am also IFS informed and often use this in EMDR to help clients when they are feeling stuck. It is amazing how much healing the brain can do with support. I look forward to helping support you on your own healing journey. "We don't heal in isolation; we heal in connection." — Esther Perel
