Regardless of our age, life can be incredibly overwhelming at times. Whether you're 2 or 92, there are going to be times that feel especially overwhelming. I have helped many clients of all ages work through a variety of challenges. Whether it be life changes, anxiety, depression, grief, stress management, addiction recovery or any number of other situations, I am there to help you through.

I am committed to providing affirming and inclusive therapy that honors every client's diverse identities and experiences. With a person-centered and Adlerian-informed approach, I strive to empower individuals and families to navigate life's challenges, embrace their authenticity, and cultivate meaningful connections and relationships. My special interests include anxiety, posttraumatic growth/trauma recovery, LGBTQ+ individuals, ENM/polycules, as well as body and sex positivity.

Sometimes, when our emotions feel out of our control, we do things that don’t reflect our values. My goal is to assist you as you work to engage in life more authentically using effective nervous system regulation and increasing skillfulness. I believe that people are always doing the best that they can with the resources that they have, and they also want and need to deal with the hardships of life more effectively - that's where I step in to support, accept, educate, and guide. Some of my areas of specialization include: Addiction, Anxiety, BPD, Depression, Identity Exploration, Trauma Recovery, & Relationships and Communication.

You may be a successful high achieving person, but struggling with feeling like it’s never good enough. Perfectionism seems like a virtue when you’re succeeding, but any difficulties can throw your sense of self-worth off. Even on good days it can feel like things aren’t “quite right”, and you’re not in control. These daily struggles can make you feel resentful, angry, and struggle in your relationships. I specialize in working with perfectionism, OCD, eating disorders, and anxiety.

Through a strengths-based perspective, I will help you examine how attachment patterns have formed and affect one throughout our lives. As someone who enjoys working with children, families and adults in a collaborative relationship, I offer structured exercises as well as a place to feel comfortable expressing emotions. I believe that the “relationship” is the strongest catalyst for change from a psychological perspective. It is up to the client to create goals and it is my job to help you find ways to meet them. Positive Psychology helps one to develop resilience, optimism, happiness, motivation, hope and positive thinking.

If you are looking to start your healing journey and would like to collaborate with a therapist who has a true passion for helping individuals cope with their mental illness and or life’s daily stressors look no further! I as your therapist will provide you with the necessary tools to reach your highest potential through guided therapy.

An ideal client is someone who is dedicated to putting in the work necessary to facilitate lasting changes in their lives. Clients embark on a therapeutic journey that leads them to a deeper, richer, more secure and more grounded relationship with themselves. Once clients are able to attain feelings of authenticity and peacefulness within themselves, they are in a far better position to enrich and enhance the lives of people around them. I partner with my clients, no matter where they are when they start this journey, and I am at their side every step of the way.
