Most of us have never been taught how to build great relationships, raise children, or to be content and find meaning; these issues tend to cause us a great deal of stress. Stress is a major cause of anxiety and behaviors that you want to change. However, you have the building blocks within you to put together great relationships, raise children, and have a meaningful flourishing life. Sometimes the building blocks you already have get jumbled and need to be adjusted. Errors in thinking lead us to feel bad and spiral downward or become anxious or depressed.

Life transitions can change the way we see ourselves and move through the world. Entering adulthood, navigating relationships, healing from past experiences, or becoming a parent can bring unexpected emotions and challenges. We can spend so much energy doing what is expected of us, caring for others, or simply getting through each day that we lose connection with ourselves along the way. I wonder what it would feel like to create space to explore who you are, honor what you need, and move toward who you want to become.

I don't believe your story ends with what's happened to you.
Maybe you're exhausted from having the same argument over and over. Maybe the voice in your head has become more critical than kind. Maybe trauma, grief, anxiety, or painful relationships have left you feeling stuck. Or perhaps you've spent so long surviving that you've forgotten what it feels like to truly live. If you've ever wondered, "Will I always feel this way?" I want you to know you're not alone. I don't believe you're broken. I believe you've been wounded, and I believe healing and restoration are possible.

I approach each person as an individual first. We all have unique experiences and strengths to help manage life's challenges. In therapy you will have a judgement free space to work through whatever challenges you may be facing. I use a variety or approaches tailored to each person. I enjoy working with individuals from pre-adolescents (10-12) through adults, as well as couples counseling, and am comfortable working with diverse backgrounds. I believe that therapy should be a positive experience designed to help you reach your personal goals.

Do you find yourself reacting strongly to things you wish didn’t bother you so much? Maybe you feel on guard, shut down, overwhelmed, or disconnected without fully understanding why. You may have learned to cope by staying busy, keeping the peace, pushing your feelings aside, or simply getting through the day. These patterns often develop for a reason—they were ways of protecting yourself when you needed them. I help clients 6 years and older navigating trauma, relationships, identity, performance, and the challenges that can come with life transitions. In therapy, we can begin to understand these patterns.

My ideal client is a creative, thoughtful person who feels overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in worry loops—often lying awake with a mind that won’t settle. They want support understanding their nervous system, improving sleep, setting clearer boundaries, and reconnecting with themselves in a grounded, meaningful way.

I am passionate about helping clients recognize and heal from their trauma and stressors by strengthening their mind-body connection.

I offer convenient evening and weekend appointments. We are all capable of making changes. Setting small goals can lead to larger life improvements. I have had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life and have seen amazing growth and change over my 25+ years of practicing as a clinical social worker. If we do nothing to make change, life stays the same, with the same problems. It takes courage to look at ourselves and work on the things that drag us down. Together we'll build on your strengths to help meet your goals.

Vulnerability sucks. So does pretending you’ve got it all together. Let’s ditch both and get real. I offer a holistic, evidence-based approach to therapy that supports your whole self—mind, body, and nervous system.
Clients often describe my style as direct, supportive, and deeply empathetic. I believe in getting to the heart of what’s going on while creating a space where you feel seen, respected, and empowered. My approach helps you identify what’s within your control, shift patterns that no longer serve you, and reconnect with your own inner resilience.
