Does the world feel like it’s gotten a little overwhelming—or even a little nutty? You don’t have to make sense of it alone. Therapy can be a space to slow things down, talk things through, and build practical skills to navigate life with greater confidence and clarity.

Whether it's a social/attachment, emotional, or behavioral concern arising for yourself or a younger member of the family, I believe we can work together to discover what's lying underneath, bring it into awareness, and promote the change each individual desires. My goal is not to keep you in therapy forever, but to help you achieve your goals and develop tools to use for the rest of your life. I incorporate art, play, nature, mindfulness, and compassionate talk in therapy, providing each of my clients a space to communicate and process in a way they find personally meaningful.

Starting counseling can feel like a big step—for kids, teens, and families. My goal is to make that step feel comfortable, safe, and even hopeful. I work hard to create a space where young people feel heard, respected, and supported, whether they are dealing with tough emotions, stressful situations, or simply trying to understand themselves better. I want each child or teen to feel empowered, capable, and understood. I also believe in partnering with caregivers to support healthy communication and growth outside the therapy room.

Every person already has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change within them. My role is not to tell you who to be or how to live your life, but to help you reconnect with your own strengths, resilience, and insight. I strive to create a warm, genuine, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are and not who you think you should be. Whether you are working through a specific challenge or simply feeling stuck, I believe therapy offers an opportunity to better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, and move toward a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

I strive to be creative in designing a safe, empathetic environment where every individual feels heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives. My areas of specialty include working with trauma, PTSD, substance use, and co-occurring disorders (mental health and substance use issues presenting at the same time). I also enjoy working with depression, anxiety disorders, life changes and stages, mood disorders, and the LGBTQ population. I believe it is vital to weave a unique treatment approach for each client, and I use an eclectic approach to therapy, incorporating DBT, CBT and MI tools, among others.

You want relief—but more than that, you want to feel confident, connected, and capable. My clients are looking for real change, not just coping, and they’re ready to work through what’s been holding them back and re-define their relationship to their problems.

In our work together, we explore your story with care and curiosity, building insight, emotional resilience, and self-awareness to support meaningful and lasting change. Feel free to email me to set up a free consultation to help you decide if we’re a good fit.
