Are you an adolescent or young adult—or the concerned parent of one—who struggles to cope with academic and social pressures? Or perhaps you're looking for couples counseling to work through betrayal trauma and rebuilt trust and emotional safety in your relationship. Taking a brain-based approach to therapy, my passion is helping teens, couples, and families work through difficult experiences to learn how to thrive instead of survive and get their lives back on a positive trajectory. As someone who has worked at my own healing, I've experienced how powerful and life-changing healing from trauma can be.

I find it a privilege to journey with clients as they find a path toward a more fulfilling life. As a clinical psychologist, I use my background to treat you as a whole person, not a disorder. You may come to me with a clear idea of what your issues are or instead with a vague sense that life "doesn't feel right." Life problems may be contributing to sadness, self-doubt, or self-defeating behaviors. Together, we will agree on goals and ways to achieve them. By creating a safe space and trusting relationship, growth and healing are possible.

My work with teens includes helping parents to better understand their child's difficulties and learn how to best guide and support them at home and school.

I work with children who are having a tough time. Whether that is difficulty adjusting to big changes in the family, making friends, or managing daily meltdowns, therapy can help! My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe place for your child to express their most challenging emotions in the language they know best: Play!

I'm a licensed therapist passionate about helping women rediscover who they are beyond the roles of “mom” and “partner.” I specialize in working with women whose children are older or becoming more independent—those standing at the edge of a new chapter, wondering what's next. Through a collaborative and supportive approach, I help my clients reconnect with their identity, explore long-held dreams, and rebuild a sense of self that feels authentic, empowered, and whole. This season of life is not an ending—it's an exciting and powerful beginning.

By listening to people and paying attention to what develops, I collaboratively assist them to understand feelings, thoughts, body experiences, and behaviors. This may remove barriers to living life to the full. We often create these barriers early in life and then continue them through habitual thought, feeling-management, and relationship patterns. Healing occurs in a safe, new kind of relationship. Within this relationship, people may recognize things they have known and not known. Those who openly share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences (including a hesitation to share certain things) are often able to make progress.

Feeling overwhelmed? Stuck? Let’s talk! My approach is a combination of “patient-centered” and “integrative.” That means that I’ll focus on your unique situation as we work to get you where you want to go. One of my key goals is to help clients reduce their distress and increase coping skills. That looks differently for everyone. For some, that involves a new issue in their life. For others, it may mean grappling with longstanding thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that they want to change.

Welcome to a space where you don’t have to perform, you just get to be human.
I work with teens, young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the messiness of figuring out who you are when the world feels overwhelming. If you're tired of pretending you're fine, or ready to stop waiting for life to feel less hard before you start living it, we’ll probably work well together. I’m here for the grey areas, the loops, the soft spirals, the parts of life that don’t have neat endings. Because that’s where growth actually happens.

I believe that each person is born with incredible strengths that are sometimes buried through their interpretation of life events and personal struggles. We can become anxious, depressed, angry or overwhelmed, while dreaming of the way we really want to live and express ourselves. I can honestly say that each of you has the potential to uncover your true self; to find contentment, self-worth and self-growth. The journey can be rough, at times, but I would like to walk alongside the path with you as you re-discover your dynamic self and achieve your personal goals.
