You're a successful, driven professional who's worked hard to build a life you're proud of, but something still feels off. Maybe you find yourself lying awake at night, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, juggling too many responsibilities, or struggling with life transitions like relationship changes, a new job, or a move. On the surface, everything seems fine, but underneath, you’re feeling stretched thin, emotionally drained, or just stuck.

Hello, pull up a chair and let's chat. I approach therapy with the belief that 1) life is full of highs & lows, 2) we aren't born with all the healthy coping tools, and 3) that with compassionate support we can grow from these experiences to level up. Our brain & body are fascinating systems and I enjoy teaching people how they contribute to our actions and feelings. I have 10+ years of experience offering individual and couples (pre-marital & marriage) counseling with emphasis on communication using an eclectic empowered approach based in Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, along with different approaches.

I am here to tell you, you are not broken, even if your mind may tell you so. When we are anxious or in despair, we can’t think straight or engage our usual survival strategies. It can impact our health, body, emotions, relationships, perception of self and reality. We can't make sense of the distorted thoughts alone. We need a therapist to help guide us. I often help young women who are feeling shy, anxious, obsessive, depressed, struggling with perfectionism or life transitions. I enjoy helping girls and women achieve developmentally appropriate social-emotional, verbal and non-verbal communication skills.

There’s wisdom in the ways we’ve had to be to survive, and it’s important to honor that. Yet at some point, we can move beyond survival and into fuller living. I specialize in working with people who feel “othered” and those who want to break patterns (intergenerational or their own). These folks are often trans, nonbinary, exploring gender, LGBTQ+, immigrants/children of immigrants, and Black, Latine, indigenous/native, and POC. I also support parents, particularly of LGBTQ+ children or who are LGBTQ+ themselves, as well as men who felt “too sensitive” or had to be “strong” and want to explore a masculinity that’s right for them.
