Life seems to keep on getting more stressful. We're all busy juggling the multiple demands placed on us and often feel that we're burning out. Reaching out for help is hard but it's a step in the right direction. Taking that first step in a warm, supportive atmosphere will help you get started. Let me work with you to straighten out your priorities and help you enjoy life again.

If you're looking to navigate difficulties in your life, learn more about yourself, become more mindful, grow or feel more comfortable with who you are, I may be a good therapist fit. I work with adults for individual therapy. My specialty areas include: anxiety, depression, grief & loss, life transitions, self-worth, relationship issues, body image, LGBTQ+, and more. I'm a trauma-informed therapist and I strive to incorporate an anti-racist and anti-oppression lens that considers harm reduction. I continue to explore these areas through learning and doing work to deepen my understanding and awareness personally and professionally.

I believe it takes courage to know yourself deeply. I want to create a space where you can begin to know yourself better, uncover connections between past and present, and build out a life that makes you proud. I want to honor the strength and knowledge you already hold, and create a partnership where we can talk about what feels most tender, scary, and exciting. I believe that understanding your past can help illuminate struggles in your present, and can offer a road map towards change. We can work together to explore ways in which you can feel safer in your body and more confident in your ability to handle life’s challenges.

Life is stressful, but you don't need to navigate that stress alone. I work with women, teens, and young adults who are navigating life transitions or stress related to relationships, career, pregnancy, parenting, medical or health challenges, school, aging family, or adjusting to the United States after moving from another country. I help my clients learn and implement skills to cope with the anxiety or sadness that often comes during transitions and to feel confident in themselves and in moving forward in their lives. I provide all therapy virtually.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. It would be an honor to get to know you. I see myself as a coach working with you to reduce anxiety. Our work together will help you identify the unique patterns of communication specific to you and your family. You will start to make sense of how these patterns permeate every aspect of your life in all significant relationships. Do these patterns help you function more effectively or keep you stuck? Five years ago I took the plunge and opened my own clinical practice. I am passionate and committed to my clients as they share, in confidence, the stories of their lives.

I believe wholeheartedly in the healing power of therapy. However life’s challenges may be showing up in your present moment, I can help you build a relationship with your own inner strengths, thereby helping you heal.

I am an integrative therapist with a particular focus on attachment relationships and emotion—and with great gentleness and occasional humor, I will work with you on your relationship with your feelings.

Therapy transformed my life when I was referred to a counselor years ago as a teen. Since then, I have wanted to provide this type of support and to serve as a guide for others through difficult times in life. I aspire to help my clients tap into their own inner strengths, so they can ultimately live more freely, fully and authentically. I take a client-centered approach, and help my clients identify their own goals for themselves.

Sometimes it can be hard to talk about our hopes, dreams, concerns and issues. We need a safe space to slowly open up and feel seen. Through the use of expressive arts therapy, we can work together until we feel comfortable expressing things verbally, or not. Through my experiences as a therapist, I have learned other ways of expressing our grief and trauma without having to talk about it. Maybe you have only been in talk therapy before and can't imagine another way of doing things. But there are other options
