As a psychotherapist, my passion lies in creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their journeys. I am a trauma-informed, whole-person-focused clinician who believes in the innate capacity for healing within each individual. Rather than focusing on what isn’t working or reducing a person to a diagnosis, I emphasize strengths and resilience. I honor the unique stories and experiences that shape each person, acknowledging both the struggles and strengths they carry. Through therapy, I aim to provide a space where clients can cultivate lasting fulfillment and personal growth.

As humans, we are always learning from and responding to our environment and lived experiences. Sometimes, these environments and lived experiences can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, uncertain, and unsure of ourselves. If these emotions sound familiar, you are not alone. I work with teens and adults who have experienced trauma and may be struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, or who are simply seeking to learn healthier ways to cope with life's stressors. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist and seek to provide a safe space for all.

Living well should be about more than just coping with pain! So many of us struggle for years with anxiety, depression, loneliness, "scattered"-ness and difficulty finding and keeping good relationships. Good therapy helps people develop internal resources, gain trust in themselves, and clarify what really matters to them so they can build rich and rewarding lives. As your partner in that process, my goal is to help you overcome obstacles and get tangible results that last!

Reaching out for support can be difficult. Often when we finally decide to reach out we are already experiencing overwhelm and feeling discouraged. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, having difficulty sleeping, being more irritable than usual, or having difficulty enjoying things in your day to day life.

Maybe your child or teen is having new behaviors, tantrums, isolation, or difficulty with connection. I am here for all of you and will stand with you on your healing journey.
