Most of my expertise is in working with anxiety, depression, and trauma, but I often also address other issues such as substance use, grief, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and many others.
My style is honest and straight-forward. My clients typically report appreciating the more warm and down-to-earth style that I bring to the therapy space. My approach to therapy is person-centered and collaborative; I believe in meeting the client where they are in their journey, and assisting them with the appropriate next steps to promote the best outcome.

My areas of specialty include maternal mental health: assisting those in various life transitions like starting college, divorce, grief and loss; parenting throughout the lifespan; assisting caregivers with stress; and assisting individuals suffering from stress, anxiety, ADHD & depression.
I enjoy supporting people at all stages of life, from starting college to starting a family, to retiring. I have been a therapist for over 20 years, & currently balance parenting, career, & a busy family. I help new moms dealing with postpartum depression or anxiety and parents dealing with stages of parenting from infants & toddlers to big kids, tweens & teens, to launching young adults.

I can also help young adults adjust to college, especially with ADHD who struggle with executive functioning.

Are you the parent of an adolescent or young adult struggling with an eating disorder? If so, you probably feel lost, scared, or even guilty for not picking up on the eating disorder behaviors sooner. It’s not your fault! You did the best you could with what you knew at the time. Most parents wonder, why can't my child just eat normally? It’s much deeper than just eating food. The psychological must also be addressed. There will be new things you will learn and there will be new things your child will learn. In general, adolescence and early adulthood is a transitional developmental stage, which comes with its own challenges.

I provide confidential treatment for adolescents, college aged and adult individual therapy clients who present with a broad spectrum of concerns including, but not limited to: anxiety and stress, grief and loss, transition and adjustment, relationship and interpersonal concerns, depression.
This process of being and becoming that we engage with as humans can simultaneously be both beautiful and incredibly challenging. The decision to take part in therapy can begin a transformative process that allows you to develop greater insight as well as ignite necessary behavioral changes. This can help promote greater well-being, vitality, healing, growth, resiliency, and self-actualization. There is perhaps no greater gift to give yourself than to invest in a process of self-exploration. Such exploration will better enable you to develop a deeper connection with your authentic self so that you may reach your optimal potential.

Maybe you feel lost, unsure of who you are, or stuck in survival…on repeat. Perhaps you’re longing for deeper connection with others and yourself, more peace and balance, consistent joy and happiness, more confidence and clarity about who you are and what you want, more hope, less anxiety and overwhelm, less reactivity, resentment and conflict, less fear, floundering, and indecision, and a life that feels more meaningful, fulfilling, and reflective of you.
