Whatever you are going through, you shouldn't have to go through it alone. Sometimes, we encounter barriers that can keep us from living the joyous life we deserve. Maybe those barriers include: depression, anxiety, or trauma reactions. Perhaps you need help on building your skills, strengths, resiliency, and emotional awareness to cope with the various challenges throughout life. Or, maybe you want the tools to align your life with your values and vision. Even though painful, difficult experiences are inevitable, that does not mean we can't live our best lives, or be our most authentic and fulfilled selves.

Perhaps you’ve spent years holding everything together—pleasing, performing,
& caring for everyone else while slowly losing touch with yourself. Old patterns from childhood or relational trauma still echo in the present: staying small to feel safe, second-guessing your worth, or feeling both unseen & too visible at once. You may long for steadier relationships, a calmer nervous system, & to feel at home in your body & voice again. More than anything, you want to reclaim your sense of self with tenderness, trust, & room to breathe. You’re craving support that feels safe, consistent, & genuinely attuned.

Do you outwardly appear to hold it all together? Yet on the inside, are there numerous life circumstances that challenge your ability to cope, manage everyday stressors, and feel in control? As a school counselor and learning specialist with 29 years experience working with adolescents and young adults, I bring a unique perspective of empathy, compassion, optimism, and humor to my counseling practice. I hold a safe space in which adolescents and young adults can address and navigate stress, anxiety, attentional and executive function challenges, social, familial and societal expectations and the myriad transitions life presents us.

Now offering teletherapy sessions in Arizona, Washington & North Carolina. Relationships can be challenging, particularly the ones that are most important to us. We want to feel known, connected and loved but often end up hurt and lonely, stuck in patterns which aren't working. Relational pain can show up as anxiety, fear, depression or grief among other things. I have extensive training in Psychodyamic and Family Systems Therapy. I have also learned directly from masters in the field of Couples Therapy: John & Julie Gottman and Phil Ringstrom to address these very issues.

Each of us deserve to feel seen and accepted for who we are. You may be feeling anxious, stuck in transition, or weighed down by patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps you’re wondering who you are, grappling with a harsh inner critic, navigating family or school challenges, or facing what it means to live authentically as a neurodivergent individual. Let's co-create a space for you to reflect and uncover a life rooted in connection and purpose, where your sense of self—your wholeness—is recognized and affirmed.

I work with individuals and couples who might feel lost, stuck, or disconnected from each other or themselves. You might notice certain patterns or themes in your life that seem to be recurring. Maybe you are struggling to communicate and feel heard or are finding yourself in the same conflicts over and over again. Or you might be wondering what your potential is or what it is that makes you you. We can work together to understand and make sense of these questions, and ultimately make changes for greater connection, resilience, and growth.

Changes in relationships and life circumstances can bring about challenging feelings. I see folx for individual, couples, and sex therapy to help people navigate: high conflict, communication issues, trauma, anxiety, avoidance, trust issues, shame, infidelity/betrayal, desire discrepancy, erectile dysfunction, sexual avoidance and more. My clients usually seek therapy because they feel stuck and fed up with where they are and are looking to learn, change, and transition to a place where they are at peace within themselves, satisfied in their relationships and have greater clarity in their direction and confidence in themselves.

You may be considering therapy because you are feeling unbalanced, untethered & unanchored due to all that you're carrying. Maybe you are finding your breaths to be more shallow lately. Perhaps your brain feels foggy & bogged down. You may be angry, enraged & worn down by oppressive, unjust, racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, classist & ableist systems. All of this may be taking a toll on how you are able to show up as your true, authentic self. You may be a parent who is feeling overwhelmed by all the demands placed upon you, & you may be feeling like no matter what you do it is never enough.

We need help to feel secure in, trust, and make sense of our emotional experiences. When we don’t get the help we need, this often leads to patterns of feeling emotionally dead, chronically overstimulated, or, simply, feeling out of touch with oneself. Therapy is a kind of relationship in which we are able to recover our own sense of self by exploring those emotional experiences, large or small, that for whatever reason come to mind, stay with us, and make us pay attention to them.

Therapy is a place to take a deep breath and explore what makes you you. It’s a place to get more deeply connected with yourself through processing past and present feelings and experiences.

Through consistent therapy, it is my belief that you and I can identify unwanted behaviors and patterns in your life, and learn how to address them with kindness and compassion. By embracing your personal story without judgement or contempt, therapy will invite you toward deeper healing and wholeness.

What If Therapy Was Actually Helpful AND Fun?
Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or uncomfortable. I believe healing works best when it’s genuine, empowering, and—yes—even a little fun. I bring humor, honesty, and compassion into every session to help you feel seen, supported, and accepted for who you are.
I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds who face complex, multi-layered challenges. Many therapists shy away from certain diagnoses, but I believe in destigmatizing all mental health concerns. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore even the most confusing or painful emotions.

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the same emotional loops, no matter how hard you try to change? You can tell something deeper is going on, but it’s hard to untangle on your own. Therapy with me is a chance to slow down, make sense of what’s happening underneath the surface, and start creating real, lasting change.

Feeling better is possible! Many of us are our are own worst enemies. Everything you've been through informs how you exits in the world. We all have parts of ourselves that developed to protect us at a point in time. While these parts had the best of intentions and were necessary for survival, they may be holding us back in the present. It' so easy to condemn these parts of us, but what they want and need is love, acceptance, and gratitude for the role they played that allowed us to endure. These parts of you can be your greatest strength! They can be repurposed to help you live in alignment with your values and goals.

If you are here you are likely seeking support for something in your life that feels difficult, overwhelming, confusing, or painful. My work is to offer you a safe, kind, and accepting space to further explore your internal and external realities. Together, we will be curious about your unique life experience, the impact of this experience, the struggles and conflicts you are facing, and what you need to thrive. I believe therapy is the process of uncovering who you were meant to be before the world told you who you should be or wounded you with its expectations and cruelty.

You’ve spent a long time performing, doing what’s expected, trying to get it right, and holding it all together. Maybe you’ve already begun to question the systems and stories that shaped you or you’re feeling stuck at the edge of a big shift. You want more freedom, but also more connection. You want to feel real, more fully you, without losing everyone or everything in the process. You want to hold yourself through uncertainty, grief or anger without running away or shutting down. You want something new, even if you don’t yet know what that is. You want room to belong, to be present and to believe that being your self is enough.
