Rudolph Dreikers says, “Children are keen observers, but poor interpreters”. Growing up and learning how to exist in a chaotic world can be extremely challenging in even the best circumstances. Those with trauma, neurodivergence, or any other challenges may have an especially tough time with this.

Now accepting new clients! I am passionate about walking alongside adults and couples on their healing journeys. I specialize in working with adults facing grief, anxiety, chronic stress, relationship struggles, and life transitions. As an existentially based therapist, I do not view myself as an expert on my clients (you are the expert on you!). Instead, I see myself as a fellow traveler in life, who knows that ultimately, we all need a safe space to share our thoughts, feelings, and fears. I provide this safety for my clients through my warm, compassionate, and culturally sensitive trauma-informed approach.
