Sometimes being in the world and in relationships can be so challenging and feel like too much to bear alone. It can also feel overwhelming to reach out for help or to even admit you are struggling. Whatever may bring you to therapy, I recognize the bravery and strength required to start the process. My goal is to provide a space where you will experience peace and a sense of belonging. I would love to have the opportunity to partner with you on your search for a deeper understanding of yourself and your story.

I believe that true healing occurs when a human feels authentically seen for who they are, connected to the people around them, and safe in the therapeutic space to begin navigating their inner world. I work with highly sensitive children who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, or emotional intensity. I meet them with steady presence, playfulness, and deep respect for their own pace and process. I am currently accepting child clients (8 and under) through Medicaid or private pay.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? I believe people tend to focus on negative thoughts and what they can't control. Sometimes our paths are rocky and seem unmanageable. I am here to help recognize and harness the power you have over yourself. Remember you are on YOUR path and sometimes those paths can change.

Many of the people I work with are reflective, self-aware, and called to something deeper within themselves, yet still feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. They may be navigating trauma, disconnection, burnout, or life transitions that feel overwhelming or disorienting. Often, they want to feel more authentic and whole, to make sense of what they’ve been carrying, and to integrate the experiences that have shaped them. They come to therapy not just for symptom relief, but for connection, clarity, and a more grounded sense of self.

Working with kids, teens, caregivers, adults struggling with infertility, and those wanting to grow their family (IVF, IUI, foster, adoption) is truly my jam. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help their loved one, or quietly carrying misunderstood stress, grief, or self-doubt. They wonder why emotions feel so big, how to support a neurodivergent child without changing them, or why family and life transitions stir fear, shame, or a sense of inferiority. My work is about granting yourself permission to explore what's holding you back so self-compassion and empowerment can move you forward.

Like many of you, my life has had many twists and turns – some of which I anticipated and many of which I did not.

I seek to understand how our pasts impact our present as we look toward change in the future, trusting our inner wisdom to help reveal the therapeutic path forward.

Do you feel stuck in life? Do you find yourself questioning why you do the things you do, day in and day out? We all come to certain points in our lives where we take a look in the mirror and ask ourselves “who have I become?” Whether it be a momentary season of life - or a life long hardship - grief, trauma, self-worth, and relationship issues can plague us and steal our ability to fully engage in the lives we dreamed of. Instead, we settle for the isolation and suffering we know because those hopes and dreams feel unattainable. I am a firm believer that there is hope for change and hope for a brighter future.

Gestalt Therapists
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
