When anxiety, health concerns, or life transitions feel overwhelming, it’s understandable to feel stuck or overwhelmed. Therapy offers a space to slow down, breathe, and untangle what’s been weighing on you. Together, we’ll explore patterns that no longer serve you, ease emotional stress, and develop tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and at peace. As your therapist, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can explore the impact of stress and anxiety on your life and work together to help you build clarity, strengthen your sense of self, and develop emotional resilience.

My ideal client is someone who wishes to work with me and believes that based on on my education and experience that I can help them improve the quality of their life through improved mental function and/or cognitive/perceptual shifts. My adult clients are often in a place of transition either personally or professionally. Sometimes we are dealing with profound feelings of loss or changes in life patterns. My clients want to successfully adapt and move forward. I am here to support them with that.

My focus is to work with adult individuals struggling with perfectionism, high sensitivity (HSPs), developmental trauma, anxiety, and depression. I provide person-centered, psychodynamic, and relational therapy for young to middle-aged adults from various backgrounds of ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and socioeconomic status.

Just being human in this world can be confusing, exhausting and heartbreaking. We all feel stuck sometimes—in old patterns, painful feelings, anxious thoughts, or harsh beliefs about ourselves or others. And therapy is a great place to change those things. But I believe the true magic of therapy is in learning to feel—really feel in your bones—how whole and worthy you actually are, no matter how stuck or broken you might feel today. My job is to support and challenge you to get to know and accept all parts of yourself (yes, even that harsh inner critic). Together, we'll heal old wounds so you can feel more balanced and integrated.

The first time I sought out a therapist I was feeling overwhelmed and confused. I was afraid to trust a stranger with my most vulnerable feelings. I found a caring, empathetic therapist who earned my trust and helped me in my struggles. As a therapist, I aim to hold a compassionate, caring space and give you safety to explore the hard things in your life, with wise guidance to find new ways to handle the stressors in your past and present. I want you to find resolution, a sense of hopefulness, improved self-confidence, and healthy, productive relationships.

I love working with adults, teens, and athletes/performers. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, including performance anxiety, social anxiety, and OCD. I also enjoy helping clients improve relationships, enhance mental performance, and develop skills for dealing with difficult thoughts and feelings in new ways. Whether you’re a teen navigating adolescence, an adult dealing with anxiety, or an athlete working to strengthen the mental side of your game, I provide personalized therapy tailored to your goals.

I specialize in working with trauma and anxiety; relationship issues, stressful life transitions, and issues of an existential nature; and people who are queer/trans, poly/ENM, kinky, and neurodivergent. I hold a strong social justice framework and honor each client’s autonomy and the culturally-sensitive aspects of their experience. My practice is trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, sex-positive, and present-focused.
When someone comes to counseling it’s because they want something to change. I believe change happens by trying to be who we are rather than trying to be different.

We provide compassionate, trauma informed counseling services for adults, families, and couples. We believe in meeting people where they are at and helping them go to the difficult, painful, often scary parts of their lives to undo aloneness and bring a little light to the dark places.

I might be the therapist for you if you’re looking for a therapist who cares about your niche nerdy interests, cracks jokes, and is always down to trash talk the oppressive systems that make our lives so hard. And yes, you’re allowed to swear in therapy (I probably will, too).
While I might not share your identity (I know I’m a white lady therapist), I aim to be inclusive and affirming to clients of all backgrounds and have extensive experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Life and relationships are full of growth opportunities for all of us. I work in collaboration with clients to increase connection and awareness of core values so they can make lasting change. My style is positive, warm and direct. For those working to find increased joy and stability within themselves and their relationships, we can explore together the areas that feel stuck and ways to increase functioning and open up more choice.

I specialize in working with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
My client-centered approach is rooted in humor, positivity and joy as a way to foster self-discovery. I strive to empower clients to uncover a stronger sense of self, equipping them to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. I am passionate about social justice and apply a trauma-informed, liberatory framework to all that I do.

You might look capable on the outside. Thoughtful. Insightful. The one others rely on. And inside? You feel anxious, braced, over-responsible. You replay conversations. You question yourself. You struggle to relax in relationships, even the good ones. You may carry shame that doesn’t logically make sense, but it lives in your body anyway. If that feels familiar, you are not broken. You are a survivor of interpersonal trauma. And I can help you change these patterns.

Maybe a recent event has dramatically altered your life, or you are still reeling from events from the past. Maybe nothing specific happened, but you’ve been struggling for a while without enough support. Or maybe you just know you’re never done learning about yourself. No matter what brought you here, you’re seeking growth and healing.
It’s not that you’re fantasizing about a life free from pain or struggle. It’s just a sense that you can find meaning in the story you carry, and confidently handle whatever crap life throws your way moving forward.

I have experience working with all sorts of different people in all sorts of different walks of life. I love the variety. If I had to pick an ideal client, I tend to work well with head first, heart second (but not less) sort of people. My background roots are in philosophy, my interests are in the mystic, and my love is the human experience - all of it. My clients come to me for a slew of reasons, but the overall gist of it is they want to enjoy life. That typically means creating a better life, or living the life they have already, but better, or a combination of the two. I like to come along for a while to support that process.

Through therapy, I help people navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral outbursts, parenting struggles, family conflict, developmental trauma, relational stress, or significant life transitions. Common goals might include managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, improving family dynamics, building stronger relationships, navigating parenting challenges, or healing from past trauma.

Leadership Skills, Performance Enhancement and Life Coaching. I am confident in the ability of the individual to change. We all face many difficult challenges in life, but these can become opportunities for growth and personal development. Most of us have never really learned the optimal skills and strategies to deal with these challenges. After 30 years working with individuals from a great variety of economic, educational and cultural backgrounds, I have found that identifying and letting go of our old, unproductive coping strategies, and replacing them with new ways of engaging with the world, allows us to live in a more rewarding and productive fashion.

I provide focused, time-limited psychotherapy (up to 12 sessions) for individuals who are stuck and who want to make changes in their lives. This approach allows clients to make real and impactful changes over a relatively short period of time. My work is about shifting trajectories. Working together we can shift the trajectory of your life so that it’s oriented around what is most important, most meaningful to you. I utilize empirically supported treatments, particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and my work is guided by what research has shown to be most effective.
