I offer therapy sessions virtually or in person (limited availability) during weekdays, evenings, and weekends (limited availability).
With the right encouragement, guidance, and support, every individual possesses the strength and potential to work through their unique situation. I understand there are a lot of stressors in life that cause anxiety, depression, identity/relationship issues, past traumatic experiences that can cause disconnection. Sometimes we need to know how or where to start. The goal is to help clients overcome those challenges, reconnect and discover their ideal life. My approach is tailored to your unique needs and assists in learning skills and strategies to achieve goals through empowerment and identification of personal growth conditions.

My experience has primarily been working with adults and older adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, complex grief, loss (of any kind), end-of-life planning, major life transitions, caregiving stress, and chronic or terminal illness. I am passionate about facilitating empathic conversations which address the social stigma and fear around death and dying, and helping clients identify what it means to have “a good death.” I am also interested in working with young adult (18+) and adult clients, particularly those facing “quarter-life crises,” relationship issues, and difficulty with substance use.

I work with individuals from ages 5 to adult who are struggling with both a mental health issue such as depression, anxiety, life changes or grief and/or an additional diagnosis of autism or other intellectual disability. I also help parents, caregivers, and others who love someone with an intellectual disability. Being the person with these diagnoses or someone who cares for them can feel isolating and confusing. While certain behavioral therapies can be useful for certain individuals, they are not always the correct fit for others. I can offer alternative ways to change undesirable behaviors for all ages.

Life transitions can be difficult to navigate alone. There may be grief, confusion, sadness and anger, fear, or any combination of these feelings. There is no circumstance too small in which to seek help from a professional clinician.

I enjoy working with folks of all ages and incorporating art, music, and writing into the therapy process. I am trained in EMDR and currently in training for Somatic Experience.
