I work with adults and adolescents (age 14 and up) and provide individual therapy services. I specialize in trauma and PTSD and I am a certified EMDR therapist. I also specialize in a variety of other therapeutic areas including women's issues (postpartum depression and anxiety, fertility/miscarriage issues), grief and loss, mood disorders, anxiety, suicide prevention, conflict resolution, improving relationships, self-esteem, life transitions, and stress management. I also work with first responders and veterans.

Are you looking for a counselor who is genuine, warm, supportive, insightful? My holistic, informal approach is ideal for someone who wants to know themselves and change and grow in the process. Areas I work with include relationship issues, anxiety, panic attacks, self esteem, personal growth, emotional eating, life changes, depression, women's issues, stress, meditation and relaxation, spiritual searches, life transitions, and the quest for self-knowledge. I blend methods and approaches of many modalities: integrative, depth, existential-humanistic, family systems, cognitive-behavioral, developmental, awareness-based, and psychodynamic. I work with dreams.

Do you feel empty, disconnected, ashamed, or like no one truly understands you? Difficult, traumatic, and challenging experiences are a normal part of being human and can cause us to end up feeling alone and isolated. I believe in the healing power of connection, where being truly seen, heard, and accepted by another empowers you to find a sense of wholeness and true acceptance of self. Through creating a collaborative, safe, warm, and nonjudgmental space, my goal is to walk with you into true connection with yourself and others, and to find a sense of deep resonance and healing within your heart and soul.

I believe that every individual should receive therapy that is centered on one’s own wellbeing and desire for self-importance. My goal is to help individuals accept and trust themselves and to feel valued being themselves. I have worked alongside LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, those within the criminal justice system, and intersecting identities. I have a background in supporting individuals who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and schizophrenia. I believe identity is a key element in understanding the individual and their relationship within wider systems. Email please if interested. I work Tuesdays thru Saturdays.

I genuinely believe contacting a therapist and pursuing therapy is an act of bravery and courage. I never lose sight of that. While some issues can be addressed with brief, solutions-focused therapies, other concerns and struggles may be rooted deeper and require different therapeutic approaches. I use elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and psychodynamic therapy to guide treatment approaches. Another thing I never lose sight of is that fact that each person is unique. The issues and concerns that bring a person to therapy have to be approached with this idea of uniqueness in mind.

I am a compassionate, research-driven counseling candidate with therapeutic experience in trauma, substance abuse, family counseling, and child and adolescent development. My occupational journey began as an elementary school teacher; my therapeutic journey began in forensic counseling, working with adults on probation.

Life has a way of throwing us a curve ball when we least expect it. It happens to most of us if not all of us.

Hello - I’m so glad you’re here! Maybe this is your first time seeking support or maybe you have yet to find the right connection to truly help you (or your kiddo). Taking this first step can often feel the most challenging.

The mind and body are inseparable. Together we will navigate this confusion and overwhelm.
