I specialize in working with individuals and couples to explore dating, relationship patterns, attachment, and trauma. I'm especially passionate in supporting the queer community. Together, we work to identify and examine recurring patterns with care and curiosity. In individual work, this can look like exploring your early experiences that informed your attachment style and connecting these patterns to the way you show up or abandon yourself today. In relationship therapy, we bring awareness to the dynamic between partners these individual experiences create to deepen connection, enhance vulnerability, and improve communication.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Figuring out how to transition into the new role of motherhood? Or are you looking for some help with your marriage or relationship? I have a passion to see clients that are seeking wholeness and some time and space to process life. I'm empathetic and kind while also being directive and intentional in our time together.

I believe that emotional symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, are ways that our bodies and minds communicate with us. Through really listening and being present with you, I will help you explore these messages, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and heal old wounds. This process is profound in creating change, allowing you to experience more peace within yourself, live with more passion and presence, and improve the quality of your relationships. I am a licensed psychologist with a doctorate in clinical psychology. I have experience working with individuals of all ages who are seeking to live more full and engaged lives.

I have been working in the mental health field for over ten years, with children and families struggling with challenges such as life transitions, domestic abuse, anxiety/depression, mood disorders, and developmental delay. I graduated from Colorado State University in 2005 with a B.S. in Human Development & Families Studies. In 2011, I received my Masters of Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, with a dual specialization in Clinical Social Work and Management & Community Organizations. Following, I embarked on my road to obtaining my License in Clinical Social Worker and successfully completed in 2014.

I am passionate about the work I do and truly enjoy helping people cope with, and move forward from, the issues that lead them to counseling. I offer individual and family therapy to teens and adults. Specialties include: anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship problems, and life transitions. You can expect that in our work together I will provide compassionate, honest and effective feedback, education and skills coaching that supports attaining your goals. I believe in focusing on the strengths you already possess and solutions that will work.

You may be aware your body, mind, and spirit are speaking to one another, and that your past might be influencing your present, but are struggling to make sense of it all. Maybe you are noticing your thoughts or relationships running into the same patterns and cycles. Maybe you are curious about spirituality and somatic (body-based) work and what messages your body's symptoms are trying to communicate to you. If you are seeking to create balance in your life, rather than the exhausting pursuit of perfection, I would love to work with you.

It is hard to ask for help and talk about life’s struggles; it is also hard not to. You deserve to experience joy, have a voice, and discover your most authentic self. I am passionate about empowering you to live your values with intentionality and purpose, gain insights into barriers, and create the change you seek. I want to support you in learning how to implement your strengths, live more mindfully, and leverage your power to live a better life and reach your goals. I believe in our need for connection, love, and to feel whole and that the absence of these feelings can be the basis for some of our struggles and suffering.

Life is a complex mixture of beauty, pain, love, suffering, joy and trauma. As we navigate these complexities, we all need support. My practice, Parallel Psychology, was created to provide a supportive, safe space for individuals seeking healing and growth. As a client-centered psychologist, it is a privilege to walk alongside you on your wellness journey. Prioritizing the connection created in our therapeutic relationship, I utilize my skillset to assist you in navigating your unique path of increasing self-understanding, identifying effective coping strategies, shifting unhelpful patterns, and fostering a foundation of self-love.

Life is challenging and it can be difficult trying to navigate the ups and downs of life without support. It can feel overwhelming and hopeless especially when you, your child and/or family is struggling. You are not alone. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I provide a safe place for children, families, and individuals to work through all of the emotions experienced through out life's challenges.

I deeply respect the courage it takes to start therapy and am committed to providing an experience that resonates with you. ​ I believe change comes from authenticity and vulnerability, from deepening our understanding of how we became who we are. My sessions are safe and non-judgmental, all lifestyle choices are welcome. Together, we will explore ways to proactively approach your goals and makes changes to what holds you back. When you enter into my room, you are no longer alone. ​

My intention is to provide compassionate, trauma-informed care to all clients, intentionally providing space for the queer community and their families. I am warm, approachable, humorous, and strengths-based with clients. I use a variety of modalities to help people heal, grow and explore themselves including: nature-based therapy, experiential therapy, CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and empowerment models.

In a world where social links are easier than never, individuals may still feel disconnected and alone. For adults, this loneliness may stem from lacking the answers to fundamental questions such as "why am I suffering?" or "what would it take to live a more significant life?" For children, this alienation may provoke suffering from a human experience too premature to comprehend. Psychoanalysis provides a unique space, where stigmatization and standardization is lifted to give a new meaning to what constitute a fulfilled existence.

You are having a hard time making decisions related to a relationship, career, or life. You feel like no matter how hard you try, people in your life do not respect you or value your effort. You are trying to do everything “right” to try to make other people happy and running away from what it is that you want because it doesn’t feel as important. I specialize in working with women to bring awareness to how you are genuinely feeling, in your mind and body, to help discover and set boundaries around what you truly want for yourself without worrying about other people’s expectations or needs.
