Losing a loved one can be the most difficult time in your life. Emotions are often surprising in their strength or mildness. Grief often breaks a person completely from the inside out. Grieving is hard work; you can get worn out and feel battered. It can take a lot longer to work through grief than most people realize. People around you may think it’s helpful for you to not talk or cry or focus on your loss but actually, this is just what people need to do. The goal is to not stay stuck, to move through it—and this is part of the process. Find wholeness through trauma informed talk therapy, yoga, mindfulness.

My ideal client is seeking more than traditional therapy. They want creative, playful ways to reconnect with joy and their authentic self. They may be navigating complex identities and need a supportive space to explore these. Often, they feel stuck or disconnected due to trauma, societal/familial expectations, or a desire for deeper self-awareness. Their goals may be about rediscovering their creativity, unlocking/understanding parts of their identity, and building deeper, more authentic connections in their relationships. They come to me ready for a dynamic, interactive approach that fosters growth and healing.

Do you feel unheard or unappreciated, carrying heavy burdens, or find your relationships strained by overwhelming emotions? Clients seek counseling for many reasons. Some need a safe, supportive space to be heard when they lack that elsewhere. While friends and family can offer care, they may not provide the professional help or treatment needed. Others struggle to express their thoughts or feel lost and need guidance. I believe that everyone deserves a place where they feel understood and cared for, and I’m here to listen and support your growth.

I create an environment that helps clients explore both the internal and external barriers to their healing and growth. As a psychologist I pull from working with diverse groups of people and assist on issues of trauma, grief, loss, relationship difficulties, wellness and health. To me, therapy is best when it's a mix of approaches that are used strategically to create a nonjudgmental and empathic atmosphere. My style is both warm and thought-provoking, and I actively collaborate with and support those with whom I work.

Welcome! I work with individuals who are navigating eating disorders, self-esteem or body image concerns, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-achieving people who have spent much of their lives striving to “have it all together.” Underneath, they often feel anxious, disconnected, or caught in cycles of self-criticism, perfectionism, or uncertainty. They come to therapy seeking clarity, healing, and a stronger sense of self, hoping to build a life that feels more aligned, peaceful, and meaningful.

From the outside, things might look steady - but inside, it can feel like anxiety, pressure, or a constant sense of being “on.” Your mind keeps going. You replay conversations, second-guess yourself, or feel responsible for holding everything together. Even when things are going well, it can be hard to fully relax. I work with young adults who are thoughtful, capable, and often carrying more than they let on. If you’re feeling stuck in your head, overwhelmed, or off balance, therapy can help you slow down, feel more grounded, and start to move forward with clarity.
