Feeling weighed down by relational difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety? As a therapist, I intimately understand these struggles and the cultural stigmas attached to them. It's time to lighten that load. I provide a safe space where you can explore your experiences and embark on your journey towards healing. Each person's path is unique, so I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet your specific needs.

I use a blend of schema therapy, inner child work, DBT, CBT, EMDR, and CPT to tailor treatment to each client's needs.
I work with adults navigating past emotional wounds, childhood experiences, adult trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, emotion regulation, and identity-related stressors. I have experience supporting diverse clients, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, clients living with HIV, Black women, and those exploring sexual or gender identity concerns. While many of the wounds we carry were not self-inflicted, I believe healing involves creating space to process them, develop insight, and move forward in ways that feel meaningful.

I incorporate evidence-based principles from CBT, DBT, RO- DBT, IFS, ACT, and ERP to help clients make sense of overwhelming emotions, unhelpful behavior patterns, and negative thoughts and identify barriers to positive change.
I'm a therapist for individuals navigating OCD, anxiety, perfectionism, and overcontrol in addition to depression and other mood disorders. I enjoy working with clients in recovery and those in relationship with those with substance use disorders. I connect well with clients who are curious and willing to be introspective and psychologically flexible in order to identify and change maladaptive behavioral patterns. I practice a compassionate, direct, and humor-based approach and encourage clients to lean into inherent strengths and intuition to continue building a meaningful life.

The treatment modalities that I commonly use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
I help self-motivated young women “have it all” while managing the ups and downs of life. To “have it all” means something different for everyone. I help women redefine and create their own definition of “having it all” and set and achieve realistic goals. I help women build confidence to create their own set of standards for their lives without guilt and shame. We work to dispel beliefs about who you should be and create a narrative of acceptance for who you are presently and who you are becoming.

My ideal clients are people navigating grief — the loss of a loved one, a relationship, an identity, or a life they thought they'd have. Many come to me feeling like they have to hold it together for everyone else, especially those who've spent their lives being "the strong one." I also work closely with professionals experiencing burnout, who give so much to their work and others that they've lost touch with their own needs. Together, we untangle the patterns keeping you stuck, using evidence-based tools alongside real, honest conversation — so you can move forward without abandoning yourself along the way.

I take a supportive, strengths-based, and practical approach that helps you or your child understand their brain, build effective routines, and develop skills that make daily life feel more manageable. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, or major life transitions, I work collaboratively with you to identify what’s getting in the way and what’s already working. Together, we create realistic systems and habits that support focus, organization, emotional regulation, and follow-through, while also helping you feel more grounded, confident, and resilient during times of stress or change.

DBT therapy with me is real talk, practical skills, and a little humor.
My clients have called me “affirming, authentic, and a little playful." Basically a hype person but with a game plan. I’m big on compassion and practicality, so you’ll get validation and actual skills. Think: acceptance plus change equals building a life you actually want to show up for.

Working from a person-centered perspective, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important components for change. I offer an empathic space to explore your goals toward recovery. I use a variety of theoretical approaches, including CBT, existential, and interpersonal therapies. Specializing in eating disorders, I begin the therapeutic relationship by meeting clients where they are in the recovery process. I understand that the development of an eating disorder is complex, and that there is no "one size fits all" approach to treatment. I can help you learn positive coping skills and address body image, identity, and self-esteem issues.

I have been treating clients who struggle with eating disorders, mood disorders, anxiety and related disorders, life transition issues, grief/loss, and marital and family issues for about 30 years. I also work as a therapist who treats other therapists for their own mental wellness needs and I work as a consultant for therapists starting and/or growing their practices. Clients and families typically come to me for help with diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment implementation, often through referral from another professional or a past client. Often, these clients have tried other treatments and haven’t found optimal results.
