I have worked in a variety of interdisciplinary settings, addressing concerns related to depression, anxiety, chronic illness, sleep, and interpersonal/relationship distress.
I have a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate a range of behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual concerns. My experiences have not only provided me with an in-depth knowledge of psychological theories and evidence-based interventions, but also an intimate understanding that healing and growth through psychotherapy cannot take place without a strong acceptance, appreciation, and integration of the unique strengths, needs, and identities of those with whom I work. My responsibility as your therapist is to walk alongside you in a collaborative manner that will help facilitate the change and healing you desire.

Clients come to me looking for a therapist who truly understands how to manage the toll of chronic illness, trauma, and/or addiction—someone who sees the whole picture.
Do you find yourself stuck in cycles of coping that no longer serve you, no matter what you do? You might feel fed up with being physically drained and emotionally exhausted, This is how a lot of my clients feel. You could possibly be overwhelmed by your emotions, disconnected from yourself and others, or frustrated that nothing seems to change. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel more in control of your life, your choices, and your well-being.

I'm certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which is a method that can be used to reduce the emotional charge of traumatic events and stressful life events such as relationship break ups, career struggles, and hurts from childhood.
I offer existential psychotherapy, brief interventions, grief therapy, chronic illness support, loss within the family (such as divorce or infidelity') I enjoy working with people who would be open to exploring the past and move forward based on goals that are set from the beginning.
I primarily provide services to clients going through major life changes. I recognize that feelings of loss can permeate our lives and the need to process loss to move forward in life. These losses are not always the traditional loss of another human; instead, they span across multiple domains of life functioning such as marriage, a job, or loss of sense of purpose and meaning in life in life. Processing loss can be difficult, but my goal is to create a space where you are able to unabashedly do so without fear or judgment. Additionally, I am part of the GSCSW Low Cost Supervision program.
