I work with individuals, couples/polycules, and families, and have experience treating a wide spectrum of issues, such as depression, anxiety, substance use/abuse, sexual health concerns, and trauma. I specialize in providing evidence-based treatments- meaning the modalities I use have been shown by research to be effective. Some of those modalities include DBT, CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Gottman Couples Therapy. I offer "Gold-Standard" DBT, including individual therapy, DBT skills group, and between-session phone coaching.

Welcome to my practice. I am a child clinical psychologist with specialization in adolescent and young adult populations.

My desire is to create a safe place for adolescents and young adults to express themselves and work through the challenges of life. Growing up brings many natural transitions that can be challenging at times. With additional life stressors, life can feel overwhelming. Problems at school, low self-esteem, family conflict, past traumas, loss/grief, and other issues can create strong feelings that get in the way of normal functioning. I believe every person has a story of resilience and my role is to help integrate past experiences, cope with present hardships and create hope for the future.

Seeking a counselor can be a daunting experience and I commend you for your courage in taking this step. I work primarily with adult individuals, teens, couples, and adult families who desire to create space to work on areas of concern in their lives and relationships. I work with people to get to the ‘thing beneath the thing’ of what they are experiencing and struggling with as individuals, couples, and families so that they can move from minimizing, avoidance, self-contempt, etc.. towards a compassionate self-awareness, recovery, greater coping, balance in life, development of new understandings and skills, and thriving.

You've built a life you're proud of. It just doesn't feel the way you expected. Behind the scenes, you're exhausted and you feel disconnected from yourself. It can be hard to slow down, feel present, or enjoy the life you've worked so hard to build. I work with adults and couples navigating burnout, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting, and life transitions. Many of my clients are balancing demanding careers with meaningful relationships and want more in life than to feel like they are simply getting through the day.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that don’t seem to change, overwhelmed by stress, or still carrying the weight of past experiences. I primarily use EMDR therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps the brain process distressing memories so they lose their emotional intensity. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and begin working through what’s been difficult. Whether you're working through trauma, anxiety, or self-limiting beliefs, our work together can help you move toward greater clarity and freedom.

Life can look full on the outside while feeling overwhelming on the inside. Perhaps you're the one others rely on, carrying the mental load at home, at work, or in your relationships. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, while feeling like you've lost yourself. You struggle to speak up, set boundaries without guilt, or let go of the pressure to hold everything together. Whether you're feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or simply stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and create lasting change.

Moms, you're touched-out, talked-out, and somehow still invisible in your own home.
You've built a good life—partner, family, maybe career. But somewhere along the way, you disappeared into managing it. You show up for everyone, meet every need, optimize every system. Yet you feel unseen, untouched, like there's no you in your own marriage anymore. This is the work: finding your voice again, understanding what kept you small, and learning to love your people and yourself. This is the new foundation.

If you've made it here, then you likely have it all together on the outside, but on the inside you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost. You’ve read all the self-help books and listened to all the podcasts, but you still can’t make the changes you know you want and need. You feel the constant pressure to perform, which shows up as tightness in your chest and belly and clenching your jaw. You feel anxious and can’t remember the last time you felt really relaxed. You give love, grace, & understanding to others, but your inner critic is so loud and demanding, you can’t seem to convince yourself that you deserve the same love and care.

Relationships can be hard, especially the parenting one. My style of therapy is based on the latest research in how the brain (neuroscience geek!), body, and emotions work together. For 20 years, I've partnered with individuals and couples, facilitating thriving relationships: parent-child, partners, and co-parenting couples. The most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. I can help you explore relational wounds and teach you new skills to experience more satisfying relationships. Let's talk and see if we're a good fit.

I have a collaborative approach to counseling where I work with clients to help them identify areas for change and to make changes by setting specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-sensitive goals. To do this, I incorporate evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness meditation, and other modalities. Generally, this involves changing or adjusting our relationship to our thoughts and changing behaviors that negatively impact our functioning and get in the way of us living meaningful lives based on our values and what is important to us.
