You matter and it's very important to me that I foster an environment of belonging and equity so that everyone I serve can also believe, or start to believe, this truth.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. We believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

We’ve heard people talk about how great therapy is, and no one really mentions how hard and uncomfortable it is. The foundations of my work and life philosophy are about balance and self compassion. I aim to help people regain control of themselves and their lives and find the balance within themselves.
You can create better habits, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and shift your perspective. You can expect kindness, authenticity, gentle challenges, pop culture references, and maybe even a swear word or two.

Everyone is going through something. Perhaps life has thrown a challenging situation your way or you are experiencing unexpected stress. Perhaps you feel anxious or in need of a change. Perhaps you are searching for meaning in who you are or what you have been through in the past. Whatever brings you to therapy, know that healing and joy are possible. I take a holistic approach to well-being - cultivating a non-judgmental therapeutic environment, helping to identify where you may benefit from healing, and tapping into your strengths.

My primary focuses include working with both children and adults who struggle with the effects of trauma, anxiety, and OCD. I have worked as a therapist with the Child Trauma Services Program within the OU Health Sciences Center where I supported youth diagnosed with PTSD, have practiced within the UCO Psychology Clinic supporting adults with various presentations of anxiety (e.g. phobias, panic, social anxiety), and have accrued ample specialized training and experience in supporting individuals with OCD. I am committed to utilizing evidence-based therapy practices and recognize each client as deserving of individualized care.

I work with clients who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, self-defeating patterns, hypervigilance, substance misuse, or complicated grief. You may just want the suffering to stop, or for a sense of safety and relief. Or maybe you need someone to listen and sit with you in how heavy it feels. If you're navigating trauma, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, or substance misuse, I invite you to reach out. If you’re looking for a steady, compassionate therapist who understands how heavy it can feel, I would be honored to sit with you.

I work with adults at life’s thresholds who are feeling stuck, carrying old wounds, or longing for deeper meaning. Therapy becomes a space to pause, explore your inner landscape, and navigate the edges of who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. Together we illuminate patterns, open new possibilities, and create a life that feels more authentic, connected, and aligned.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by digital distractions—whether it's endless scrolling, gaming, social media, sports betting or other habits that leave you feeling stuck—you're not alone.

With over a decade of experience, I help adults, teens, and kids break free from these cycles, set healthier boundaries and rediscover a sense of balance and purpose in their lives. Engaging in therapy with me can help you develop more agency and set you on the path to becoming who you were meant to be.

I am a somatic trauma therapist who specializes in PTSD, shame, grief, and intimacy issues. I also utilize IFS (Internal Family Systems), somatic sex therapy, and psychedelic therapy. If you’ve struggled to feel fully seen in therapy—or felt pressure to self-edit just to get support—this space is different. My style is warm, gentle, and rooted in the body. Together we slow down, listen inward, and help your system release old patterns of tension, fear, and disconnection. Healing happens when you feel safe enough to experience your emotions fully, without judgment or performance.

My ideal clients are adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or self-doubt and are searching for a way to feel more in control of their emotions and choices.

Sometimes it's hard to see the way through difficult times while bogged down by anxious or depressive thoughts and emotions or haunted by the past. Let's figure it out together. When working with me, you can expect for both of us to be getting to know you better - we will balance honoring your emotions and challenging your beliefs to help you feel heard, understood, and find your way forward. I've been practicing since 2019 in a variety of therapy settings. My main specialty is trauma but I often work with issues related to divorce, anxiety, and life transitions.
