I predominantly work with individuals who feel stretched by other’s demands and like they have to be the rock for the people around them. I also specialize working with couples experiencing communication difficulties. Together, we can calm the storm and take steps toward a life you enjoy. Life can be hard, but you do not have to handle it alone. You have taken an incredibly brave step by starting this searching process.

I love what I do and I strive to offer a comfortable, compassionate and welcoming atmosphere for my clients as we work together to create change.

Do you find yourself stuck in a pattern of self criticism and doubt? Do you want to go from people-pleasing to authentic? Overly critical to accepting? My clients describe themselves as "perfectionists" and "people pleasers" that have high expectations of themselves. I work with anxious clients to help them learn the skills needed to create a fulfilling and balanced life. I specialize and love working with people who aren't feeling connected with themselves and in their relationships. People who have been taught to strive for a "perfect" life, but find themselves anxious, irritable, and overall unfulfilled.

I work with individuals age 15 and up, as well as couples. My experience working in community mental health centers, in-home family services, and inpatient hospital settings help me pull from many different perspectives to support therapeutic, goal-driven growth and change. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma and PTSD.

Many of us have arrived at points in life where we feel alone and lost. Disappointments, losses and wounds leave us feeling that we are not enough, disconnected, hopeless and stuck. Whether life has brought new obstacles that feel impossible to cope with, or if you have past wounds that you don’t know how to heal from, I would be honored to be part of your journey. In our time together, I will work to help you finally find freedom from the lies that hold you back from living a meaningful, satisfying and connected life. You will find that I am empathetic, gentle and insightful, helping you feel safe and offering a new perspective.

Whether you are looking for a long-term commitment to a therapeutic process, or a short term solution to an acute crisis, I will guide you through a process of exploration, understanding, and resolution. My style is no judgment, kind, straightforward, and open. You are the expert in your own life. I am simply a guide and conduit of the knowledge and experience I have gained over the years. We are all a work in progress, and I would be honored to join you on part of your journey.

New coping tools are essential for navigating our post pandemic era. The rise in mental illness over the past three years is simply unprecedented. Seeking out help (such as scrolling through this Psychology Today therapist list) is an excellent use of healthy coping tools. The next step is taking a risk of reaching out to one of us on this list (and research shows that just setting up an appointment can make you feel better).

Feeling so much anxiety and tightness in your chest about life right now? Think some of it may have something to do with your past maybe childhood or family things? Are you feeling frustrated because you have already done so much work and yet, you can't let go? Would you like to feel at peace and have some clarity of how to move forward in a good direction?

Do you feel like you are stuck in survival mode, barely keeping your head above water? Are you overwhelmed with guilt and shame or perhaps can't shake the feeling like you aren't quite enough? I understand you and am here to help. I specialize in working with self-worth issues as well as eating disorders, body dysmorphia, anxiety and depression. I also work with parents seeking help and guidance for their child that may be struggling with their mental health. Additionally, I have experience working with collegiate athletes and can offer services for any level of athlete looking for support in sport performance.

I believe that it is in environments of safety and non-judgment that therapy can provide us with the opportunity for exploration and growth, and my goal is to collaborate with you and to empower and support you along the way. I work with individuals 16 +, couples, and families dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, religious trauma, and LGBTQ+ topics

Therapy can be an invitation to explore our inner world and how it relates to the development of the self, relationships, and our way of making meaning in this world. My aim as a psychologist is to offer that unique space to clients where transformation, challenge and deeper understanding can occur. I specialize in work with LGBTQ+ youth and adults, in grief and loss, end of life concerns, identity development, trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and psychosocial oncology. I work with adults, children, and adolescents for psychotherapy and provide assessments for autism, learning disabilities and social/emotional concerns.

I help teens and adults reprocess and distance the pains of past hurts and traumas. Clients who engage in therapy with me are tired of emotions jumbling up their life and are tired of memories stealing their precious moments of time. Clients are able to reprocess painful and traumatic memories and start living life again without the sting of those troubling memories.
