Have you noticed that your child is struggling with anxiety, or just not acting like themselves? Maybe you have tried everything, and yet their anxiety or behavior just seem to be getting worse...
As a therapist and professional school counselor, I know that every parent wants their child to feel loved, understood, and supported. And with over a decade of experience working in public education, I understand how valuable it is to view each child through the lens of their strengths. My goal is to create a safe and inclusive space where your child can get help, through my direct and genuine approach to counseling.

"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." (Viktor Frankl) Many of those I work with are dealing with issues of grief and loss. Others suffer from addictions and desire to embark on a recovery path, or love someone with addictions and need to learn how to take care of themselves. Many are journeying through resolving trauma, anxiety, stress or depression issues. Regardless of your pain, I am invested in your growth, emotional freedom and creating your wellness plan.

People of all ages come to me when they’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or like they just don’t quite fit in.
I work with kids with big feelings, teens who are trying to figure out where they belong, adults who are tired of pretending they have it all together, and parents who want to better understand and connect with their child.

I am a compassionate, irreverent, strengths-based therapist. I enjoy helping teenagers, adults, and partnerships deepen their relationships with themselves. I think of therapy as a laboratory for discerning and developing life change. By considering therapy, I believe that you already possess the innate capacity and bravery to pursue this change so that you can live your life to the fullest. I draw upon psychodynamic, narrative, transfeminist, and other liberatory approaches in my work with clients. I have completed EMDR Basic Training with Deany Laliotis of the Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy.

Life is too short to live with constant struggle and suffering. By looking for a therapist you are already taking a huge step to improve your life and learning skills to make it a great one. You may just need someone trained to help you find it. Maybe you worry too much about the past or the future. You may be so sad getting out of bed feels like climbing a mountain. Maybe you have addictions such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, pornography etc. that are keeping you from doing what matters most. Many of us had difficulties growing up that still affect us to this day with our relationships and how we view the world.

Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions that shape how they see themselves and their experiences. “I’m too much.” “I’m too sensitive.” “I should just get over it.” These are phrases I often hear from people struggling with deep emotional pain. And emotions aren’t the problem—understanding them is the key to growth and change.

I understand how debilitating life can be when you have experienced complex trauma and/or phobias, and I don't want to see you suffer for any longer than you already have.

If you've been considering counseling and now feel ready to make the leap to improve your life satisfaction, I can help!
