I have over 20 years experience working and growing with the continually developing mental health field. I believe in the immovable strength that all people have within them. Trauma, pain, and disheartenment are all part of the human experience. We are all connected by these experiences, and our abilities to overcome life’s greatest challenges. Therapy is not a "one size fits all" approach and I believe strongly in my ability to work with the diversity of mental health issues.

Welcome to my practice! The world is changing in profound ways. I am here to help you navigate these new realities in your family, work and love relationships. My therapy style with both couples and individuals is warm, collaborative and nurturing. For couples, I will help guide you out of distress and back to loving connection, paying close attention to emotional intimacy, differences in sexual desire, chronic fighting, communication breakdowns and infidelity/betrayals. For individuals, I will help you find your way back from depression, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. Let me help you grow and flourish.

Each of us have beliefs and experiences that impact our ability to form meaningful relationships, accomplish goals, or accept ourselves. My hope is to help the individuals, couples and families I work with challenge these negative beliefs and guide them in using skills to develop a stronger sense of self and more stable relationships. Over the past decade I have specifically worked with adolescents, young adults and their families. I love this stage of life, the change that can take place is amazing if given the right tools. Balancing independence and connection for individuals and family is one of my main goals in therapy.

Welcome! I am so happy that you are taking the next step towards finding healing for yourself. No matter what brings you to the search for a therapist, I hope you realize that you deserve to be seen, heard, and given a space to store your deepest desires, deepest pains, and deepest joys in life. I strive to work from an anti-oppressive lens, acknowledging the significant impact of interpersonal, systemic and intergenerational trauma. I come from a person-center, trauma-informed approach to highlight your innate resiliency in our work together. I provide support for anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship issues, etc

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working in various settings. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, couples, and complex family systems. I have extensive experience working with co-occurring disorders. I utilize concepts from DBT, MBB, ACT, MI, psychodrama, and experiential techniques to assist you in positive changes and life outcomes. I truly believe everyone can find happiness in their lives through vulnerability and connection. I strive to create a safe space where you can tell me anything without fear of shame or judgement. I am here to listen so you can feel seen and heard.

I deeply enjoy working with adults with ADHD, anxiety, and/or depression, and those who want to gain a deeper understanding of who they are. You may have the experience of feeling disconnected from others or difficulty knowing how you bring value to the world. If you have (or suspect you have) ADHD, you may feel overwhelmed from constantly trying to fit into a box that wasn't made for you. Together, we will explore your struggles, values, history, and strengths to cope with challenges and begin to feel more connected with yourself and those you care about.

I love working with clients (especially children, adolescents, and families!) from diverse backgrounds who are looking to find answers and solve any issues they may be struggling with. I am passionate about my work and believe in radical acceptance of all people. I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative psychologist. As a mother of five children, I understand many of the issues that families face and I strive to be a caring, upfront, and empathic psychologist who helps clients work toward achieving their goals. I also offer psychological testing.

I believe everyone has what it takes to find joy, peace, and love in their lives through vulnerability and connection. After working through my own trials, I discovered that I wanted to help others and decided to become a therapist. I found a love for listening to others and trying to understand how their stories have shaped their view of themselves and the world. I enjoy connecting with people by encouraging them to explore new ways to find happiness within themselves and their relationships.

I strive to understand each of my client's and their unique and nuanced way of navigating life. I believe that an authentic relationship and attachment-based approach is essential in order to support you in this journey. My practice welcomes people across the spectrum of experiences and challenges - from those struggling with anxiety, depress, or schizophrenia, to pre-teens grappling with bullying at school.

My areas of focus: 1) Individuals who have been unsuccessful in relieving anxiety, anger, or depression with other therapies, 2) Men who have been told they have "anger problems", 3) Faith transitions, whether staying or leaving, 4) Sexual health concerns, 5) Couples who are confused about what they need and where to get it, 6) Couples who are stuck in ambivalence about whether to stay and work on their relationship, or separate.

Everyone has a story and their experiences are apart of what makes them who they are today. I’m a firm believer that people want to be the best versions of themselves. Therapy is a great tool to achieve this goal. I work with individuals to help guide them through the process through a holistic and strengths based approach. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, self harm, behavioral health issues and I’m an advocate and ally for the LGBTQ+ community.

Are you currently experiencing sadness from some type of loss? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one, or are you going through a divorce or infidelity? Are you ready to work on the process of healing, and start working toward getting out of the rut you are in? So many of us have experienced a tremendous loss in our lives, and seem to have a difficult time knowing how to move forward in our lives, and learn to find joy in the areas we once did. Grief and loss can be a very lonely experience, but doesn't have to be. You can process it, feel it, and start your journey toward healing.

I believe that each client is an expert in their own life thus therapeutic work should be collaborative. I take a motivational, strengths-based approach with the belief that eventually the pain will subside and we get to decide what will take its place. Therapy can be uncomfortable but it should be embraced as we make changes for growth, find value through the difficult experiences, and peace in collaboration. I understand therapy can be difficult to step into my goal is to just help you feel it was worth it!

My approach to psychotherapy is centered around you, the client. Together we address emotional distress caused by relationship conflict, grief, addiction, sudden/chronic illness, life adjustments and trauma. Each person is unique, therefore we explore your needs and goals to promote growth, empowerment and lasting change. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, PTSD , mood dysregulation, personality disorders, substance abuse and other addictive behaviors. I have worked extensively both with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence as well as First Responders.

Therapy should be approached in a nonjudgmental fashion. We come from all walks of life, and our views and values may vary. Together we can create a safe and inviting atmosphere for you to tell your story, and be heard. I work with children, adolescents, and adults from varying backgrounds with different presenting needs. I can assist you in self-exploration at your desired level: to help you understand past and present experiences impacting your current life; to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself; to feel healthier and more satisfied by maximizing your individual potential and better understanding limiting beliefs.

So many of us struggle with feeling like we are "Not Enough". It's a constant battle to face each day with a smile, pretending everything is okay when deep down we are falling apart. Sometimes all we need is someone to truly listen, someone to guide us, someone to understand and support us through the darkest of times. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to feel successful, loved, and capable. By harnessing your personal strengths and breaking down negative thought patterns, I aim to equip you with the tools and skills necessary to thrive.
