Sometimes, we can feel, think, and act in ways that we don't recognize or that feel at odds with who we are. We may feel lost and disoriented, unsure how we got here and trying to get our bearings. We can ask ourselves questions like, why am I so angry right now? Why do I feel like I can't breathe? Why is my body so tired? Why don't I care about anything? What is wrong with me? We may feel stuck and exhausted, physically and emotionally. If this sounds like you, you are not alone, and I am so glad you are here. We can work together to find the way back to you.
I offer therapy in person and online. I see children, teens, adults, couples, and families. My focus areas are depression, anxiety, panic, life transitions, and relationship issues. I have an intuitive style, and I provide a safe, trauma-informed, nonjudgemental space. My therapeutic lens is based primarily in attachment and Internal Family Systems.
Taking the first step and reaching out for support can feel daunting. I invite you to call me for a free 15 minute phone consultation so we can decide together if I am the right therapist for you.

I work with clients who may be overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, and life transitions. In our first sessions, we will pursue a deep understanding of the concerns that have brought you and/or your child to therapy and develop a plan to address them. Depending on presenting needs, the plan may include tools and skills to alleviate crisis symptoms while addressing their underlying causes.
