I help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, or past experiences that still impact their lives. If you find yourself overthinking, stuck in patterns, or struggling to feel like yourself, we’ll work together to build clarity, confidence, and lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and able to move forward.
I work with a broad spectrum of issues and diagnoses. I have special interest and training in the following: CPTSD/EMDR; LGBTQAI; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); adolescent mental health; family therapy; grief/loss; compulsive hoarding;positive psychology/life coaching; and shame/low self-worth. My approach is caring and solution focused.
To live is to struggle, pain in life is inevitable for all of us, you are not inadequate because you hurt. Your desire to feel better and understand yourself more fully, demonstrates true strength and courage. At each visit, I offer engaged listening, new perspectives, and new approaches to alleviate pain and build greater meaning and joy in your life.

My approach is eclectic, after 20 years of practice, I am able to blend different approaches and theories. So much of psychotherapy involves the therapist's intuition which is based on close attunement and connection with each client. This resonance allows for the best possible treatment outcome. The basis of all of my treatment is client centered work along with MBCT, ACT, and solution focus.
