Many of my clients come to me in a state of internal chaos and are not sure how to move forward. You too may be seeking a grounded base from which to rediscover your personal sense of agency, direction, and inspiration. My work begins with listening to you when others have ignored, and accepting you when others have judged. But no one needs a therapist who just listens. From this basis of trust, I will challenge your thinking and behavior patterns and push you to create change in your life.
I have experience working with all kinds of clients, but the clients who like me the most tend to be, well, like me! I specialize in women’s issues, trauma, relationships, family dynamics, and postpartum therapy. Mindfulness, coping skills, wellness, and nature-based techniques are among my specialties. Additionally I offer EMDR to those whom could benefit.
Countless clients have shared that they don’t want to burden their friends and family with their “issues.” I promise that what you share with me will not shock me. Instead you might find relief unburdening the swirling thoughts. If you’re seeking an empathetic therapist with directive spice, my door is open.

For so many of us, our relationships with our partners and children are what matter most in life. I can help you deepen these relationships, and sort through their conflicts, while also regaining your own sense of self again. As partners and parents, we still need independence. Our work together will help you straddle all of your roles in life.

I have extensive training in family therapy, so I approach all of my individual clients from a systemic approach. Where did you come from? What's your baggage? How can we break through it? You are informed by your past, but your past is not you. Using trauma-informed approaches and post-traumatic growth, I will help you uncover who you are and what kind of life you want to live today.
