I enjoy working with individuals as well as couples and families. I have a special focus on working with eating disorders, disordered eating and body image issues. I also see many clients for anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation as a chance for us to get to know each other and determine if we'll be a good fit to work together. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is very important and therefore I encourage this as a first step!

I am a generalist, and my practice includes adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Clients approach me for a wide range of issues and concerns, which can include interpersonal or relationship problems, family conflict, grief, transitions, depression, anxiety, and the recovery from trauma or abuse. I also see individuals who simply want to live happier or more fulfilling lives. My therapeutic orientation is flexible and integrative. Most often, I utilize emotion-focused, relational, experiential, and somatic techniques. However, I ultimately strive to work in a way that optimally matches my clients' unique needs.

I believe that therapy can help us see the unconscious patterns of behavior that we unknowingly live our lives within; that it can help us find some distance from our up-close feelings, and see ourselves with kindness; that it can bring vitality to stagnation, and enliven our sense of creativity; that it can help us pursue our desires; that it can be a place where we wrestle with the things we thought were true, and find comfort in the midst of uncertainty; that it can reveal something about the relationships we seek; and that it can teach us how to grieve our yesterdays, find gratitude for today, and hope for tomorrow.

Do you wish to develop a deeper relationship and connection with your body, breath, and your emotions? I can be a guide and support in your development. Whether you are struggling with fear, loss, grief, anger, trauma, relationship or other issues, a good portion of our exploration together will be internally focused on your felt experience. Deep wisdom and resources reside within you, and we follow together your curiosity about your own experiences. With a conscious presence, usually a slower pace than we are accustomed to, we can begin to explore and understand the meaning of these experiences.

You are likely seeking relief and clarity to thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that are not working for you. Simply put, something is stuck.

I work with clients to bring awareness to their body, mind, and spirit to assist them in growing a deeper sense of their stories and desires. My ultimate goal is that you will have a growing sense of what it means for you to engage your world with a deepening sense of aliveness.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed by their current patterns—whether that’s anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, or a sense of being “stuck.” They may have tried to manage things on their own for a long time, but now recognize they want support, clarity, and real change.
They want to understand themselves better, learn new skills, and break long-standing cycles that no longer serve them. Most of all, they want a safe space where they can be honest, feel understood, seen, and heard.

I help children and adults of any gender find self-acceptance and belonging without shrinking themselves to fit in. If you struggle with grief, loneliness, or disconnection I want to help you find your sense of belonging and connection. As a relational, psychodynamic psychotherapist, I am interested in the whole of you—the parts you find acceptable and the parts of you that remain exiled in the shadows. We exist as embodied ecosystems rich with specificity, including the people, places, social identities, experiences, and beliefs which have shaped how we move through the world and our relationship with suffering, pain, and desire.

I offer trauma-informed therapy for folks struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship issues, and intimacy challenges. Maybe something just feels "off", but you can't figure out how to put words to it. Or perhaps what needs to change makes sense logically, but you still find yourself stuck emotionally. It is challenging when we are dealing with internally conflicting experiences, but there is support to help integrate these different pieces into a connected, grounded you.

Why do I feel so numb? Why do I have sudden outbursts, followed by long depressive slumps? Why do I feel constantly on edge? What’s wrong with me? Do you find yourself asking these questions again and again, without ever getting anywhere? Are you overwhelmed by a sense of guilt and shame? Do you struggle with intense reactions, avoidance, or feeling fundamentally broken? If so, it’s likely that you’re experiencing the impact of trauma. Or maybe you're at odds with your partner, rehashing the same arguments, only to feel more distant, and more lost.

I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing grief, navigating major life transitions, processing current or past trauma, seeking caregiver support, or coming to terms with chronic or life-limiting illnesses. I've dedicated my practice to supporting adults who seek to heal, grow, and reclaim their lives after experiencing significant challenges. I spent my early career advocating for survivors of sexual assault and violent crime in the courts. Since graduating with my MSW, I've served as a hospital social worker - most recently in Oncology, Palliative Care and Hospice.

Working with individuals and families is a collaborative process. I hope to use my many clinical experiences to help guide clients through a path toward more satisfaction in life. Therapy is not a process of simple "change," but rather a process of finding and developing aspects of satisfaction in careers, families, leisure, and relationships that likely exist when we weed through the days' challenges. Through my years as a clinician, I know how to challenge that process. Through my years of teaching, I know when I can simply step aside and admire the strengths that each of us have inside.

I'm a nurse practitioner turned empowerment coach. I worked in primary care for over 10 years only to find the system was failing those that really wanted to make changes to their life, physical and mental health. I started coaching to take a new perspective on healing. I believe that we are all human and cannot be confined to a diagnosis. I believe we don't need to be fixed but just need to be held in a compassionate, non judgmental light in order to see our higher potential. I am here to help you along life's journey and achieve your goals to live a happier and full life.
