The path of life is rarely straight, and we all face ups and downs that can make us feel lost or out of balance. Seeking support with anxiety, addiction, depression or other requires courage, especially when feeling weighed down or distressed. I understand you’ve attempted contacting other therapists, and that their full caseloads have made timely responses challenging. I empathize with how disheartening that must feel when you need help urgently. I specialize in helping teens and adults with stress, anger, anxiety, depression, addictions, eating disorders, ADHD, behavioral concerns, low motivation, sexual issues and many more.
My goal is to cultivate a space where you can get help for anxiety, depression, addiction, or other issues. Caring for yourself is not selfish - it's a vital step in creating a life of greater joy and meaning. Together we can get you back on track to the life you envision for yourself. My door is open whenever you're ready.
Let me help you tackle your challenges head-on before they escalate further. You matter. Together, we'll get to the heart of what's holding you back, so you can move forward with confidence. Contact me today. If our availability doesn't match up, I will match you with another qualified therapist in our group. You shouldn't have to go through this alone.

IFS therapy can help with general life stressors like grief, relationship, and career issues, and improve resilience, self-compassion, and self-esteem. Though IFS is a non-pathologizing model, it can be used to treat anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, substance abuse disorders, trauma, and more.

I first discovered my passion for guiding clients with Internal Family Systems Therapy after undergoing 80 hours of intensive training in IFS. For the past 5 years, I have seen the transformative potential of IFS firsthand. IFS works by empowering you to heal the wounded parts of your system and bring you back into balance. It's a compassionate and nurturing modality.
