As a clinician, I believe that my clients know themselves best and I am here to support them in their journey of self-exploration. My passion is to assist individuals in creating positive change in their life. I primarily assist clients in creating goals from a Cognitive Behavior Therapy perspective while pulling from Person-Centered and Solution-Focused techniques. Creating awareness in the mind-body connection is incredibly important to me as a clinician. I encourage this by creating the space for my clients to gain emotional and physical awareness in their minds and bodies.

June is here, which means it's practically summer! Summer is often thought of as a carefree season, and it definitely can be, but real life doesn't always slow down when the weather improves. Maybe there are habits you'd like to change, challenges you're tired of carrying alone, or goals that have been on the back burner for too long. Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, I'm glad you're here. We can figure it out together!

Life can bring many challenges, struggles, and difficult times. All of us have had seasons when we felt stuck and hopeless and in need of a starting point for healing and recovery. Very often, the past is present in disruptive ways, making it difficult to enjoy the moment or causing damage to our relationships. Sometimes worries can become consuming and we find ourselves simply surviving, instead of thriving. My passion is to walk alongside you, offering evidence-based treatment approaches, as you discover and embrace the life you want to live.

Through my years of experience, I have worked with hundreds of clients from all walks of life. This has provided me with a deep insight and a practical view of contemporary issues and has allowed me to develop a unique combination of interpersonal psychoanalysis, mind-body stimulation, cognitive behavioral techniques, and the ability to diagnose and treat clients in a detailed manner. My work with Murphy CDT, further allows a client to be their authentic selves in session. I am known to be approachable, genuine, and have a welcoming "take your shoes off and relax" view to therapy.

Waitlist for new clients
Food and body image are difficult topics. Many experience criticism, frustration, and feeling incompetent with their bodies. Food becomes the enemy, movement feels impossible. We get so many messages from society and it can be hard to navigate it all. It's easy to feel like a failure. I am here to say finding peace with our bodies is possible. Guilt doesn't have to be part of our relationship to food and movement. It may look different than what is your current normal, and you may feel unsure about how to make it make sense for your life. We can navigate all of this together.

It takes real courage to reach out for therapy—especially when life feels heavy, uncertain, or just too much. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a powerful act of self-respect and hope. My role is to meet you with openness and care as we explore what’s unfolding in your life and reconnect with the parts of you that may have been quieted, hidden, or forgotten along the way. To me, therapy is sacred work—a place to tell the truth, tend to what hurts, and remember who you are beneath all the roles and expectations. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin; only a willingness to show up as you are.
