Welcome!
I work with kids, teens, and adults to address a wide variety of concerns, from anxiety and depression to addiction, self-esteem, and trauma. I specialize in neurodiverse and queer/trans informed and affirming care. I meet you where you are, whether that’s developing practical skills and strategies to live with ADHD, tools for emotional regulation, or moving into deeper trauma processing. I am trained in EMDR and use experiential methods like IFS and somatic interventions to help you build tolerance for emotional discomfort and remove blocks to living the life you deserve.

Much of people's suffering comes from feeling disconnected from others, unresolved past issues that affect their present lives, and feeling unsafe in their body. Trauma is often thought to be the result of war, or severe abuse, when really there is a whole range of experiences that can be traumatic. They can include growing up in an invalidating family environment, surgery and illness, the loss of a loved one, divorce or ongoing relationship issues. Because trauma affects the brain, body, and nervous system, integrative approaches have been most successful in helping people feel whole again and lead meaningful and satisfying lives.

I've spent over 25 years working with people from all walks of life and that’s really taught me how different everyone’s story is. I support individuals, couples, families, kids, and teens. I know how different each person’s story is, and I meet you where you are. My approach is warm, relaxed, and collaborative, more like a real conversation than something formal. I pull from different tools and evidence-based approaches, tailoring what we do together to fit your goals and needs. My focus is helping you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you move toward real, lasting change.

Are you experiencing problems with addiction? Do you have trouble handling depression, trauma, and anxiety? I would like to be your guide in becoming sober and healing. As a experienced clinician, I recognize those that struggle with mental health and addiction are some of the most intelligent and artistic individuals. Often, those that experience anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts saw drugs and alcohol as a way to cope and calm their thoughts. I am here to walk you through the journey of hope to recovery, however that may look to you.

Let's get right to work! Most people do not reach out to a therapist because they want to start therapy in three months, or even three weeks, from now. They reach out because they probably needed to start yesterday.
Couples are in distress, on average, for six years before seeking professional support. Poor communication and increasing distance can take it's toll on a relationship.
Anxiety, when poorly managed, can reduce quality of life.
We are not born knowing the most effective ways to communicate and society does a terrible job of reaching us how to manage and effective express emotion.

I feel that people can bring their frustrations, anger, fears, sadness, anxiety, ambivalence, and dissatisfaction into the counseling process. Throughout my 25 year career, I have been so fortunate to walk thousands of people through painful circumstances to experience necessary hope and healing in life.

Let this be the moment you commit to changing your life — to resolve your emotional and real life issues and blocks, express your positive traits and develop new traits, and start manifesting the life you want. I have gone through my version of the healing journey; my issues were—addiction, depression, trauma, loss, and performance blocks — and as I moved passed my issues, I flourished. It is my privilege to assist others with their personal, social, spiritual and career concerns. I specialize in working with substance and behavioral addictions and codependency, sports and performance issues, relationships, and spiritual struggles.

How do you envision your path towards greater self-awareness and fulfillment unfolding? Is it through the exploration of past experiences and their impact on your present? Maybe it’s through the cultivation of self-compassion and self-acceptance. Or perhaps, you envision a path that includes setting and working towards achievable goals. As a therapist, I find fulfillment in working with a diverse array of clients, including those dealing with neurodivergence, identity exploration, anxiety, trauma, couples work, depression, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and general life transitions.

Sometimes we need a reality check. Someone who is objective, from the outside looking in and is able to provide targeted guidance that will result in effective change. My job is to teach you how to think differently, empower you to set boundaries and encourage you to take control of relationships and begin to take charge of your life. Life is too short to be stuck, feel confused or be uncertain about which way to go. This life is yours to enjoy and I am dedicated to helping you reach a place of fulfillment and peace. This road won’t be easy, but my approach ensures maximum effect in a direct, focused and intervention-based manner.

On the outside, you may look high-functioning — managing responsibilities, caring for others, showing up for work and relationships — while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns.
I work with individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves, improve communication, heal emotional wounds, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others
I believe healing is not about becoming someone completely different — it’s about reconnecting with the version of yourself that has been buried underneath stress, survival, anxiety, self-doubt, or past experiences.

I greatly enjoy working with clients who are open to creating or processing change in their lives. That may look like addressing anxiety or depression, grieving a loved one or a way of life, postpartum depression, understanding how trauma has impacted one's life, relationship difficulties, welcoming a baby, struggling with food and body image, redefining self-worth, mentally managing chronic pain or illness, family struggles, life transitions, gender identity, sexuality issues, enhancing communication skills - ultimately, finding healing and meaning in your life.
