Do you feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma-family, couple stress, or past experiences that are hard to move beyond? It can feel distressing to stay stuck in the same unhelpful patterns, even with insight and effort. If you want to feel more secure in yourself, your relationships, and your sense of purpose, therapy can help you move from getting by to thriving.

Feeling stuck? Whether in your relationships, your habits, or your sense of self, healing and growth are possible. You may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, career stress, people-pleasing, addiction recovery, or relational challenges, and you're searching for real, lasting change. More than anything, you want to break free from unhelpful patterns and move toward a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and aligned with your values

I have been very effective in helping people find relief from anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as improving the quality of their life and relationships. I provide a thorough assessment followed by a collaboratively developed treatment plan to effectively address your individual situation. My Goal is to treat you as a whole person - biological, psychological, relational and spiritual. Often talk therapy alone will not be as effective as it could be when combined with appropriate adjunctive treatment(s) and I will refer you to the appropriate specialist(s) or resources when needed.

You are a work of art — and you deserve therapy that honors that. If you’re an artist, neurodivergent, BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, or navigating identities that haven’t always felt understood, I see you. I specialize in supporting clients through life transitions, religious trauma, minority stress, and identity exploration. If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of where you belong, therapy can be a space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with clarity. This is your space. My goal is simple: you feel safe enough to exhale. You deserve respect, dignity, and compassionate support.

I work with individuals and would love to help you experience what it means to be known, loved, and accepted, and to feel worthy as you are—by working through fear, anxiety, guilt, and building healthy self-esteem. Together we will look at how your childhood relationships impact current relationships so that you have the opportunity to take risks and make new choices towards healthy relationships. I use EMDR Therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to move you from debilitating impacts of trauma and pain to greater places of healing and emotional freedom. .

You may already feel behind before the day even starts. Stress follows you through meetings, conversations, and responsibilities you carry for others, and by the time you finally have a moment to breathe, rest doesn't come easily. You've been strong for a long time. But somewhere along the way, you started wondering how long you can keep this up.
