I think most of us can't get through life unscathed or without wounds. Whether as children or adults, those closest to us may not know the depth of our pain or how to help us heal. And we may not know how to express that pain. This is where having a sacred time and space can be pivotal in healing from events robbing us of our sense of well being as we navigate life. My goal for every client is that you can learn to love yourself and know deeply that you can handle life, no matter how it goes. You can turn a corner in an EMDR session - from 'I'm unlovable' to 'I am fine as I am.' Or 'I can't let go' to 'it is over.' You're worth it.

I’m a therapist who takes conversation seriously.
I want to know what makes you... you — your stories, your thoughts and feelings, the way you experience life and move through the world.
The drive I have to get to know you in this deeper way comes from years of being a journalist. That's when I first learned how to listen carefully, ask better questions, and stay present when you talk about hard things.
Today, I bring that same care and curiosity to this work.

You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, or emotional overwhelm—feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you or disconnected from yourself despite wanting change. You may be seeking relief, emotional balance, and a stronger sense of self, along with a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe and understood.

I enjoy working with people who want to grow, and who realize they need to change old ways and patterns that no longer serve them, but instead bring pain. In my practice, I've worked with people in all kinds of pain, and with all kinds of problems. I've helped people struggling with relationship problems, family issues, anxiety, depression, substance use and trauma. Over the 17 years that I've been counseling, I've learned that everyone needs to tell their story, to be heard, and understood. I've learned compassion, kindness, and non-judgement are all important in the healing process.

Lots of Reminiscence Therapy for older adults.
I’m here to help you feel less overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless or helpless. To help you quiet your brain/body, organize your thoughts, and figure out not just where all this stuff comes from, but what you can do about it. Sometimes I help people find answers inside themselves they already knew, sometimes I help people get outside of themselves and use insights from our fellow humans, from nature, science, spirituality, philosophy, you name it. I’m a straight talker, AND I don’t judge— literally, I can teach you how to use a nonjudgmental stance— and possibly most importantly, I bring some FUN to this process!

Some burdens are harder to carry than others — the kind that intersect in ways that are difficult to untangle on your own. Trauma that feeds anxiety. Grief that looks like anger. Addiction that started as a way to cope. Whether you're an individual navigating these heavy places, a parent watching your child struggle, or a family caring for someone at the end of their life, I meet people across every stage — and I believe you are the ultimate expert on your own life. My role is to help you find what's already inside you.

On the outside, it may look like you have everything together, but inside there may be a different story. I strive to create a judgment-free space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. Through my experience working with diverse communities and populations, I hope to help others reconnect with their authentic selves while supporting them in their unique challenges.
