Welcome! My approach to therapy starts with believing that change is in our control and, by working from that mentality, we can learn to accept & grow from what we cannot control in order to live our life in a more optimal way. Being in the LGBT community myself, some of my clients value having a therapist that can connect with that experience. In my therapy space, I value authenticity, safety, freedom to choose, connection to others as well as ourselves, & being challenged. My clients want a safe & comfortable space that can help them facilitate growth (that can sometimes be uncomfortable) & I love when I can provide that.

I draw from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Jungian analysis, Trauma-Focused methods, and Psychodynamic techniques.
Specializing in trauma, neglect, and C-PTSD has been focus of much of my career, but I've also had the privilege of supporting clients through grief, stress, anxiety, depression, negative self-criticism, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I strive to create a comforting space where you can express your thoughts and emotions openly without judgement. My recent work with adults has centered on healing from "old hurt," attachment issues, and even those dealing with narcissistic traits in others. If you are interested in talking briefly to see if we would work well together, feel free to send me a quick text or email.

Do you struggle with substance abuse alongside co-occurring issues such as anxiety, trauma, obsessive/ intrusive thoughts, disordered eating, or mood instability? You might appear functional on the outside while privately battling a cycle of shame, secrecy, and emotional overwhelm. What once felt like a way to cope now interferes with relationships, work, and daily responsibilities, leaving you isolated or disconnected from family, friends, and colleagues. Through compassionate, individualized guidance, it’s possible to break the cycle, restore balance, and build the life you truly want.

My therapeutic approach incorporates modalities such as Narrative Therapy, Dialectical behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.
Every person has a story that deserves to be heard and understood. While I’m not here to solve life’s problems, I offer a supportive space to listen, empower, and walk alongside you as you work toward meaningful change and greater peace of mind.

The truth is, you're a total badass who has been pushing through pain and difficulty most of your life. Most people around you don't notice that you’re struggling, because you've been holding it all together so long. But all the struggle and the work to keep it "under wraps" is starting to wear on you. You're tired. You might feel numb and struggle to connect with those you love or feel constantly on-edge or anxious. You may even have flashbacks of your worst moments or developed chronic pain or syndromes. It's starting to feel impossible to keep "holding it all together."

Life is a gift, but doesn’t always feel that way. Relationship and family conflict, health concerns, addictions, losses, and school/career/life transitions can leave us wondering where the joy went and whether it will ever get better. Other times we just know something seems off, we feel stuck, and we need help figuring it out or getting past it. If any of this sounds familiar, please know that you don’t need to live with excessive worry, sadness, shame, or uncertainty, regardless of your circumstances. There are MANY ways to get you feeling content, confident, at peace and fulfilled again; I am here to walk that journey with you!

I use an integrative approach that draws from Dialectical Behavior and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Reaching out can be overwhelming, especially when you have been carrying heavy emotional burdens for a long time. Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed or stuck in old patterns that keep them from moving forward.
I believe therapy should be tailored to your unique strengths and lived experiences. My goal is to create an environment where you feel capable of meaningful growth, and help you feel more connected to yourself and others.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re used to pushing through on your own or you’re not quite sure what you need yet. You may be dealing with anxiety, relationship stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. I work with adults and college students who want more than coping—those ready to understand what’s underneath and begin moving toward meaningful, lasting change.

I work best with individuals who feel deeply, think constantly, or may describe themselves as having a "busy brain." Whether it's your first time in therapy or you're looking to build on the work you've already started, you do not have to do it alone. You may be someone who feels alone or "too much" in your daily life. You may be someone who seems fine on the outside but inside you have a very harsh inner critic. Or perhaps you've muscled your way through life and that is no longer working.

I specialize in working with both queer and neurodivergent clients, including those with no formal diagnosis, particularly autistic people, individuals with ADHD, and couples with mixed neurotypes. I am interested in exploring embodiment, somatic interventions, expressive arts, and pleasure activism with clients. I work with a variety of needs, such as navigating non-traditional relationship structures, depression, anxiety, self-actualization, low desire, identity development, and dysphoria, and the way grief can interplay with these needs. I facilitate these explorations through a humanistic, feminist, and systems-oriented lens.

I utilize various treatment types but tend to focus on Acceptance and Commitment ( ACT) to help people to accept their circumstances and focus on what's within their control, while also focusing on individual strengths and values.
Do you feel out-of-place, misunderstood, or like you’re carrying heavy emotional baggage? My ideal clients are unique non-conformers who are tired of letting past trauma and family dysfunction dictate their present. You want real relief and the freedom to finally be yourself, but often struggle with boundaries, self-doubt, or feeling stuck. You're ready to look beneath the surface and unlearn the survival tools that no longer serve you. As a down-to-earth, direct therapist, I meet you where you are and celebrate your whole self—pets, passions, and all. Let's work together to gain self-awareness, chase goals, and embrace your worth.

Life can often feel messy and chaotic. My passion is to help bring order out of chaos to facilitate growth and peace. Many of my clients present with concerns related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stressful life transitions and circumstances, perinatal mental health concerns, or they report feeling a little “off” and are seeking help to feel more like themselves again. I work best with clients who are engaged and motivated to see changes in their lives, and I have a great love for coming alongside people to help them move towards becoming the best version of themselves.

My work focuses on mothers and children, including play therapy and Child–Parent Psychotherapy. I approach early childhood mental health through a developmental lens, recognizing that a child’s emotional well-being is rooted in both their developmental capacity and their relationships with caregivers.
I have also worked extensively with mothers navigating a range of challenges, including traumatic birth experiences and perinatal mood disorders. When we acknowledge the complex realities of motherhood, women are empowered, and outcomes improve for both mothers and their children.

How in the world am I supposed to get it all done when I feel like I can't make it through the day? This is a question you may be asking yourself at this very moment. You may find yourself less motivated, apathetic, tearful, or anxious with these emotions getting in the way of your personal and relational goals. If you want to feel better, create more fulfilling relationships, or build self-awareness, I want to help you achieve it.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
