Currently accepting new online clients! Are you needing help with managing and processing depression, anxiety, and/or ADHD issues? I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in working alongside adults and young adults in intensive, group, and individual settings. We all need a safe space to explore and better understand ourselves, and hopefully learn practical and insightful tools for managing life along the way. Therapy can be this space where work can be done and growth can occur.

My goal is to help you find healthy ways to feel better and reach your potential. Depending on your needs, I can help you develop effective ways to address relationship issues, self-defeating behaviors, or bothersome feelings, such as worry, sadness, irritability, and fatigue. I provide dependable support and guidance as you find positive ways to respond to life's challenges - whether that happens to be relationship problems, family issues, work-related concerns, academic pressures, or other life stressors. I will meet you where you are and work to find effective ways to address your concerns.

Do you feel stagnant in your life but not sure how to move forward? Do you struggle to find joy? Do you want to change something, anything about your circumstances? It is my goal to provide a safe, peaceful and caring environment for each client. I focus on the individual needs of each client with empathy, compassion, and understanding. I am a strength based therapist and focus on personal resiliency. We will focus on progress by taking small steps and embracing “little wins.” Together, we will challenge negative self-beliefs and work on developing your positive narrative that supports who you truly are.

I value and respect diversity and enjoy working with clients from all walks of life. I specialize in providing individual therapy to adults navigating phase of life concerns, who are coping with stress and challenges related to diversity, and who are battling symptoms associated with depression and anxiety. I am dedicated to offering non-judgmental therapeutic support necessary for improved mental health and well-being.

I work with individual adults and couples on relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use and behavioral addictions. While we will have specific goals for therapy, ultimately my hope is that you feel more alive, embodied, connected, resilient and self-accepting. We start by building a safe and trusting environment within which vulnerabilities, difficult experiences and unhelpful patterns can emerge and new experiments in thinking, feeling and relating can be attempted. This takes courage, and it can feel risky to speak the truth, to embrace disowned feelings, even just to receive support.

Do you "have it all together" on the outside, but on the inside, feel like you are falling apart? Perhaps you find yourself looking ahead to the next milestone or achievement–graduating college, landing a high-paying job, getting married–thinking it will bring you happiness…only to be let down when you get there and it still feels like something is missing. You are not alone. I specialize in working with driven, highly-motivated emerging adults who are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt.

I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults , and their families. I’m here to empower you in increasing self-awareness, improving your ability to truly feel and release emotions, and learning how to attune to both yourself and others. I meet each person with an open and nonjudgmental presence while blending together different modalities including emotionally focused therapy (EFT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and the brain-body relational therapy of brainspotting (BSP). I integrate the approaches that best fit the needs of the person(s) in front of me.

You feel worn down by shame, self-criticism, and anxiety. There's a tendency to doubt yourself, to overanalyze situations or things you've said until you feel embarrassed and exhausted. You've always felt different from others—you wish you didn't have to feel everything so deeply, that you weren't as easily overwhelmed by the "small" things in everyday life. You're past the point of burnout, or you may be quickly approaching it. More than anything, you want to trust yourself, feel more confident, and be better able to manage overwhelming and painful feelings.

Does it feel like you’re struggling to thrive in a world that just wasn’t built for you? We autistic folks know this feeling all too well, and how especially hard it hits when you’re feeling lonely, depressed, anxious, lost, or just completely overwhelmed. Whether you’re just trying to keep your head above water every day or trying to emerge into a new stage of your life, you don’t need to do it all alone. While I specialize in working with autistic adults , these feelings can resonate with folks from all sorts of backgrounds, and I welcome you too. Let’s walk this journey together.

In my practice I typically work with adults individually (in one-on-one sessions). Many of my clients have experienced problems with mood, particularly anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.
