Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or battling anxiety and unresolved trauma? Do you wish for a sense of balance and clarity for your life? With over 20 years of experience working with adolescents and families, I’m here to help you find the peace and fulfillment you deserve. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you overcome stress, heal past wounds, and build stronger, healthier relationships. Whether you're seeking personal growth, emotional healing, or tools to manage life’s challenges, we’ll work side by side to meet your goals and create lasting, positive change.
I understand just how challenging life can be. Juggling daily stress, while also dealing with anxiety or depression, can feel unbearable. That’s where I come in. LGBTQ+ and BLM affirming, I partner with my clients, offering support and teaching practical skills to help them find hope and regain control.
In addition, I find I work well with adult children of personality disordered parents. Working through trauma at the hands of parents is hard, and I have experience, personal and professional in working through this type of trauma. "Therapy is often a matter of tipping the first domino." Milton H. Erickson

I enjoy working with "stuck" individuals by teaching them the techniques and skills to find joy. In addition, I have experience working with adult clients of difficult parents, to assist them in first identifying ways they carry trauma with them, and introducing them to strategies to realign their identity and world view, as well as create and hold healthy boundaries.
