Maybe you find yourself caught in cycles of overthinking. Maybe you feel like you need to handle it all on your own, or you find yourself repeating old patterns in relationships that leave you feeling unfulfilled. You might feel like that familiar perfectionism helps… until you're reminded again that it doesn’t. That’s where I can help. I work with people navigating relationships, life transitions, and the practice of self-compassion—often while managing anxiety, self-doubt, or a desire for something more. My role is to help you connect with your own inner wisdom and move toward meaningful, fulfilling change.

I love my work. I work primarily with women. I find that most women, regardless of their personal histories, complain of feeling stuck - repeating patterns and behaviors that don't make them feel successful or happy. I believe a large part of the problem is that there are parts of themselves they have had to submerge very early in life. Some of my clients have suffered early parental loss, medical trauma, physical or sexual abuse, or a traumatic accident. Many describe parents who loved them, but who were unable to meet their emotional needs in significant ways.

Many people who come for help are carrying the weight of traumatic experiences, complicated family or custody situations, or the overlapping challenges of mental health and substance use. You might be a parent worried about a child’s behavior after abuse, a young person struggling to feel safe and understood, a partner or co-parent trying to find a healthier way forward during a court-involved divorce, or someone juggling recovery while managing relationships, work, and daily life. Your goals may be to restore safety, regain trust, set clear boundaries, reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms, or simply find a steady path forward.

Struggling with sadness, anxiety, anger, or grief? Emotional struggles can make even small tasks feel overwhelming. You might feel stuck in patterns of behavior you're not proud of, disconnected from activities you once loved, or unsure how to create the happier, more fulfilling life you envision. Therapy can help you break these cycles, uncover your strengths, and align your actions with what truly matters to you.

I genuinely enjoy being able to help individuals achieve real and observable changes in their lives. At some point in life, most of us encounter personal roadblocks that undermine growth and create stress and unhappiness. Through my work I help people facing a wide a variety of difficulties at all levels of severity to achieve more happy and fulfilling lives. While I enjoy working with all individuals, I also have specialized experience in counseling active and veteran military service members, trauma survivors, and women.

Asking for support can be a challenging and important way to honor yourself and your needs. Let’s build on that courage, curiosity for change and motivation. I believe change is possible and trust - with your therapist, with yourself and your loved ones - can be a key part of healing. For many people, trauma, anxiety and/or depression can impede connecting and living fully. Experiences of loneliness, burnout and hopelessness can be overpowering. I want therapy to be a space where you can express yourself and feel empowered and grounded. We can balance between time to use coping skills and space for reflection or exploration.

Are you experiencing racing thoughts, feeling like you are stuck in a loop or on the edge of a cliff? Do you feel like you are in a "fight or flight" mode? Do you feel a sense of emptiness, numbness, or heaviness in your heart that makes it difficult to find motivation and interest in life? Using a trauma-informed integrative approach to self-discovery and healing, I invite you on a journey to explore how your lived experiences shaped your perception of yourself and the world around you, your pattern of communication, and the relationship that you have with yourself and others.

Life can and often does present us with challenges which create distress and make it difficult for us to feel satisfied. It can be very helpful to speak with a well-trained, experienced, and supportive person when facing such challenges. Whether you are looking for extra support during a stressful period of time or you are interested in focusing on longstanding difficulties, I offer to create a space that promotes symptom relief and results in greater awareness, satisfaction, confidence, and fulfillment.

If you're looking to feel more grounded, stable, and at peace in your personal and professional life, I can help. I work with individuals struggling with overwhelming worry, feelings of inadequacy, fear that things can’t change, or the sense that life is happening to them rather than with them. I also support clients navigating complex family or romantic relationships, the integration of sexual orientation and/or gender identity with other areas of life, and processing grief from loss, death, or relationship endings.

It's a big step to ask for help. I engage in a coaching style, using a non-judgemental approach. I believe you are the expert of what matters to you. My training is grounded in mind/body medicine which incorporates skills and practices that get results and promote lifestyle changes. It's in these lifestyle changes that growth and sustained change occurs. I’m committed to putting myself out of business by equipping you with a variety of tools to manage stress, depression, anxiety, or grief. I don't ask clients to do anything I have not practiced or do myself.

It is my privilege to guide individuals, couples and groups to find their own way. You may experience vitality and despair, triumph and struggle, fulfillment and longing. However, when the "self" becomes impoverished it is vulnerable, emotionally scarred and injured. Are you self aware and in search of a deeper sense of self and the ultimate meaning of life?

I practice somatic therapy because it's focused, personalized, and individualized care. Somatic therapy is special because in addition to the intimate, insightful, in-depth conversations that are typical of traditional individual psychotherapy, the two of us can also move together, breath together, and create personalized meditations, all of which can accelerate and deepen your healing. The same sorts of problems that draw people to more traditional psychotherapy also bring people to somatic therapy - depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, disordered eating, and traumatic experiences, to name a few.

I work with clients from traditional to alternative and everything between, regardless of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, orientation, spirituality or relational preferences.
In my practice, I collaborate with my clients to explore who they are, what they need, and what is holding them back, without fear of judgment, giving clients transformative ownership of their own therapeutic journey rather than being told what to do. I work from a psychodynamic approach, seeing individuals 1-5 times a week, and couples 1-2 times a week.

You may find yourself here because something in you is tired of holding it all together.
Perhaps you’ve been carrying layers of anxiety, the weight of old trauma, or the ache of disconnection in your relationships. Maybe you’ve been successful on the outside, but inside you feel restless, lonely, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift.
You might long for a deeper sense of wholeness, something more than just managing symptoms. A life where you feel at home in your body, connected to your heart, and free to live authentically.
I help adults move beyond survival mode into a grounded, connected, and more alive way of being.

Clients come to me when they feel stuck and need a nuanced, experienced approach to an issue in their lives. Most of my clients have post traumatic stress that stems from childhood experiences or neglect. Most of my clients also disclose that they struggle with one or many relationships in their lives. Many of my clients are immigrants, and seek a therapist who is sensitive to how cultural factors and (im)migration impact their ability to successfully connect with others.

If you’re LGBTQ+ and done shrinking, performing, or holding it all together for everyone else, you’re not alone.
You’re smart, self-aware—and still, something isn’t clicking. Maybe it’s the weight of navigating identity, family, culture, or trauma on top of just… living. You want a therapist who gets it—someone you don’t have to educate.
I bring heart, depth, real-life experience, and a little bit of edge. I’m not just your therapist. I’m your biographer.
