Our Team
I have extensive experience working with people who struggle with fears and phobias, OCD, chronic worry, social anxiety, people who chronically doubt themselves and self-sacrifice, and have challenges with asserting themselves, creating and maintaining healthy boundaries, and balancing multiple demands on their time and energy. If you are struggling with functioning, feeling satisfied and fulfilled, and finding meaning in your life, you don't have to do it alone. Reach out and we can consult to see if we would be a good fit!

A decision to work with a therapist is the first step in a process of change. If you are reading my profile, you are already contemplating something you want to be different in your life, and if we decide to do this work together, I will help you move in whatever direction you choose. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents and families to increase understanding and improve communication in parent-child relationships. I have a deep appreciation for helping individuals of all ages understand how their life experiences impact their relationship patterns and their support desired changes.

As a therapist, my aim is to take the time to clearly understand your history, difficulties, strengths, and goals, and then to work together to build a treatment plan tailored to your unique circumstances. I have experience working with adolescents and their families to repair relationships, helping individuals navigate the pitfalls of depression and anxiety, and aiding veterans and others to recover from traumatic experiences that left them lost and overwhelmed. Most recently, I have worked within rural communities to help clients recover from substance abuse and the impacts it has had on their lives.

My ideal clients are individuals used to functioning at a high level but find themselves feeling stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves. Despite external success, managing high-responsibility roles, life transitions, and the pressure to "do it all" often leaves them feeling deeply overwhelmed and misaligned. I help thoughtful, high-achieving adults move beyond "just getting it done" to gain clarity, make intentional decisions, and build a life that feels as meaningful personally as it appears successful on the outside.

Life can bring both challenges and opportunities for growth. I offer a safe, affirming, and compassionate space where you can bring your full self without judgment.

I specialize in supporting adults experiencing anxiety, grief, relationship and interpersonal challenges, and depression.

I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, and difficulty feeling grounded or emotionally settled in their daily lives. Many of my clients describe feeling highly sensitive to their environment, easily overstimulated, or as though they are “on edge” without a clear external cause. Others come to therapy noticing patterns of restlessness, burnout, or a sense of constantly “chasing” balance without ever fully arriving there. I also specialize in supporting individuals navigating guilt, people-pleasing tendencies, and long-standing family-of-origin patterns that impact self-worth and emotional regulation.

From the outside, you are highly driven, dependable, and look like you have it all together. But internally the pressure to perform- whether in your career, on the field, or as a parent- is taking a toll. Often, this internal stress bleeds into your home life, leaving you and your partner stuck in the exact same arguments on loop. If you are feeling disconnected from your loved ones, exhausted by perfectionism, or overwhelmed by a major life transition, you do not have to navigate these patterns alone. Together, we will build action-oriented strategies to de-escalate conflict and build relationships that feel like a haven.
