Did you grow up feeling "too sensitive" or "dramatic"? Maybe you felt shame for just being yourself? Does it feel hard not to sacrifice your own needs in order to keep others comfortable or impossible to even identify what your needs are in the first place? If any of this sounds like you, I understand. I specialize in working with adults healing from complex trauma, emotionally immature parents, and narcissistic abuse. The majority of my clients identify as LGBTQ+ and/or neurodivergent as I do myself.

I am passionate and highly experienced working with adolescents 10 & up and adults that struggle with anxiety, depression, divorce, ADHD, relationship struggles, and big life transitions.
Seeking out therapy and finding the right therapist can feel daunting, frustrating, and extremely vulnerable. Knowing this, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative relationship with my clients. I want my clients to know they are not alone in their struggles. I not only understand and validate but also help empower them to create both emotional and behavioral changes that will lead to a happier and more fulfilling life. My goal is to have my client become more self-aware, identify and implement their strengths, and have tools they can apply outside of the therapy room.

I work with children, teens and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, lack of motivation, decision paralysis, life transitions, relationship struggles, eating disorders and body image distress as well as the neurodivergent population in understanding their needs and relationship challenges.
I know how scary it can be to reach out for help and let someone in on your struggles. It can feel devestating when your life feels like it's not working. The guilt and overwhelm that comes when your attempts to make changes fall short. This is why I believe therapy can be so helpful. My role is to support you through the ebs and flows of life as well as provide you a trustworthy therapeutic relationship to work through past and present experiences or stuck points in relationships that are keeping you from feeling fulfilled.

My areas of specialization include parenting support, anxiety and OCD, and stage of life issues with teens and adults.
I strive to create safe space where clients can feel comfortable examining their strengths and challenges. I see myself as a guide on this journey of self-discovery, and I believe it's important to look together at the multiple contexts that affect us as individuals, from our family backgrounds to the meanings that we attach to our experiences in order to find our authenticity. I use an individualized approach grounded in family systems to guide clients on their journeys of self-exploration, weaving mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques into sessions. I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention through IOCDF.org.

Counseling is not something I “do,” counseling is a path we travel together as therapist and client; it is a collaborative relationship and dual effort between the two of us. In a safe and trusting environment, I work with you to identify goals and potential solutions to problems causing emotional turmoil, help you improve communication and coping skills, and support you to strengthen self-esteem and promote behavior change, resulting in improved mental health.

My therapeutic approach is predominantly solution-focused, guiding adolescents, adults, and their families to uncover their unique strengths within the safety of a secure therapeutic relationship.
As we journey through life, we encounter a diverse array of experiences – some revealing the best within us, while others bring profound emotional challenges. Often, we find ourselves in solitary reflection, seeking a path out of the shadows. Yet, within the realms of an authentic therapeutic alliance built on acceptance and trust, there lies a transformative potential. Together, we can revel in your triumphs, navigate through challenging emotions, and delve into unexplored facets of your being. I see my role as a witness to your journey, offering support, encouragement, and instilling hope as you evolve.
