Do you turn to food, alcohol, or drugs to deal with feeling lonely or rejected, or to cope with added stress and anxiety? Have you lost the joyful feelings that you used to have in life? Do you feel fear stricken, even in the “comfort” of your own home? Do you feel like there are so many things to manage and your forever growing “to do list” leaves you feeling completely overwhelmed? I work with women who have experienced tough stuff in their childhood and feel like they have lost their way. Sometimes we turn to food, alcohol, and drugs or, we withdraw from friends and family, just to cope. Does this sound like you?

You're here. That's the first step. The demands of daily life, making meaningful shifts, and understanding ourselves, others and the world can feel overwhelming. Many of us feel stuck. If this sounds like you, it may be time to try something new. I work with individuals from a trauma informed lens, and support them in learning how their own brain interacts with the social and cultural world around them. You may feel depressed/angry/anxious - but how much of that is your brain and how much is a normal response to the chronic stress of our current world? Let's figure it out together.

Healing often begins in the quiet moments when you realize you don’t have to hold everything alone. I offer a space where your pain can soften, your story can unfold gently, and you can be met with warmth and compassion without of judgment. My approach is compassionate, empowering, and rooted in genuine connection. We move at a pace that feels right for you, exploring anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship struggles with care and intention. I work with adults, teens, and couples, walking beside you as you rediscover your strength and return to yourself with greater clarity, grounding, and a renewed sense of hope.

Struggling to balance yourself and everyone else? My guess, you're holding on by a strand and unsure of how to keep holding. Maybe you're flat out overwhelmed, exhausted, and questioning if it’s ever enough, stuck in a negative cycle of perfectionism and over thinking. You want to stop this cycle and start feeling at peace with yourself, your choices and who you are. You are craving a space where you don’t have to perform, where you can just be honest with yourself and learn skills to do it without judgement. Therapy is your space to be you; raw and vulnerable with reflection, skill building, emotional processing and insights.

Things have been hard for people lately. You are not alone if you have been feeling stretched too thin. Relationships can be challenging; learning communication skills to express yourself authentically to your partner is what I can offer couples. Understanding your own feelings first, learning emotional language to communicate those feelings, and learning how to listen and be heard in your relationship is the basis of what I do when working with couples. For parents, I help you see your child as a whole person from birth, and assist you in becoming a confident leader, developing healthy attachments, and fostering emotional security.

You're a bright and capable woman, consumed by anxiety, stress, and past trauma. On the bad days, you feel like you're fighting a losing battle against yourself. Your relentless efforts to please others come at the cost of your health and well-being. You desperately want to drop the mask and be yourself, but you're terrified that if they truly knew you, they would reject you. Part of you worries that you'll be held back by anxiety, stress, and your past forever, while another part of you believes that relief and a better life are possible. You know something needs to change, but you're unsure of where to start.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by patterns that no longer work—especially those navigating ADHD and executive functioning challenges, career, education or life transitions, and work-related stress or burnout. Many clients come to therapy feeling like they are working hard but not making progress, and are looking for practical, evidence-based support to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Is your child struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficulty expressing emotions safely? Are they having a difficult time coping with a trauma or loss? Maybe you want to strengthen your relationship with your child. Play is the natural way that children express themselves, and they need a special environment filled with toys and games to help them with the hard work of learning new skills and addressing unpleasant memories. Play and art therapy can be used to resolve trauma, teach and practice coping skills, increase emotional regulation, decrease anxiety and enhance attachments.
