I am here to help anyone who feels lost or overwhelmed, especially if they're struggling with substance use. They might be carrying guilt, shame, or a sense of isolation, and they’re looking for a space where they can be truly heard without judgment. I understand how tough their journey is, and I’m here to guide them with empathy and respect. Their goals are my goals—achieving sobriety, rebuilding self-esteem, and creating a healthier life. I believe in their ability to change, and I’m committed to walking with them every step of the way.

If you're questioning your worth, feeling invisible, or struggling with boundaries, you're not alone. If you're facing emotional challenges that are hard to express or finding it difficult to recognize your feelings, you are not beyond help. I support individuals of all ages who are dealing with Depression, Anxiety, Anger, Low Self-Esteem, Shame, Trauma, and Eating Disorders (including binge eating, ARFID, and anorexia). My approach focuses on awareness, integration, and balance. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your relationships—with others and with yourself.

I have been a therapist for over 18 years. I find that neurodivergent clients are able to connect well with me even if they have struggled with finding the right therapist in the past. I have worked in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric treatment, outpatient psychiatry, and private practice. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults to help them create a life they enjoy living. I have been in private practice for over 14 years and have experience and success building collaborative, therapeutic relationships with clients that allow them to feel secure and comfortable with working through problems and navigating change.

I support kids, teenagers and adults in my practice.
You’re the one who keeps everything running—at work, at home, in your relationships.
Maybe you’re the parent juggling everyone’s needs while silently falling apart.
Maybe you’re grieving a loss that’s changed everything, trying to figure out who you are now.
Maybe you’re chasing achievement, constantly pushing—and still feeling like it’s never enough.
Or maybe your mind just won’t stop. You overthink, over-plan, and lie awake wondering how to handle everything that could go wrong.
From the outside, you seem capable and strong.
But inside, you’re tired. Overwhelmed. Grieving. Spiraling.
And ready for something to change.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, or major transitions.
In our first session, you can expect a calm, supportive space where you don’t have to have everything figured out. We’ll take time to talk about what has been weighing on you, whether that’s depression, anxiety, parenting stress, or life changes, and begin exploring your goals for therapy.
