Medical illnesses and physical injuries are things we don't usually expect to happen us. When they do, we can feel alone, scared, and confused. Having someone to discuss things with and who understands the issues you face can provide some relief as you learn to navigate this new world.

I chose to become a therapist after experiencing a time in my life when I struggled to find a provider I could truly relate to. I understand firsthand how intimidating or even uncomfortable it can feel to take that first step toward starting therapy. But I also know how profoundly rewarding the work you do in therapy can be—it’s a courageous and transformative journey that can lead to deeper self-awareness, enhanced relationship building, and lasting growth.

I have enjoyed providing support in mental health for over 20 years now. We all face moments of distress and experience unplanned circumstances in our lives that we simply are not prepared for. It can be difficult to navigate our way through all of the thoughts that may come up or the different levels of pain we tend to experience and I know that reaching out for help can be challenging. All have their own healing journeys and I am grateful to be able to help individuals with discovering their unique path to healing, growth and change.

You have read the books, listened to the podcasts, and maybe even done therapy before, yet something still feels off. You are smart and self-aware, but awareness hasn't brought peace. That is where the deeper work begins. I’m EMDR certified and a Level 3 Certified Therapist in Internal Family Systems (IFS), helping people heal patterns, not just talk about them. My clients are done with surface fixes; they want real freedom and clarity. Together we will work to help calm the inner noise, meet parts of you with compassion, curiosity, and clarity, and help you finally feel at home in your own mind and body.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing a variety of anxiety disorders, including panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and phobias, as well as adults with ADHD. I also support clients who have difficulty regulating emotions and navigating the impact these patterns can have on relationships. Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in exhausting cycles of fear, reassurance-seeking, self-doubt, and overstimulation. You may feel like you know better, but anxiety continues to run the show. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, safe, and able to show up exactly as you are.

Pajama Forward Therapist here! We are called to an authentic life. One where we honor how our brains work instead of forcing our square peg brains into another round hole.

My clients are encouraged to show up authentically, even if that’s in pajamas. I’m a pajama forward therapist! I use therapy techniques designed for us including Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR. They get us to the deep work and root of the issues.

Each of us has a unique way of navigating life. Often, our experiences do not come with guidance, and it can be difficult to interpret them alone. Whether you are experiencing a time of change, stress, past trauma, or circumstances unique to you, therapy can offer a supportive space with time dedicated to working through them. I believe in providing an open-minded environment for clients that honors their unique cultural, spiritual, and personal identities and offers space to nourish their authenticity.
