I offer therapy for women in their 20s and 30s who are figuring out their careers, friendships, and personal identity to build a life they love. Anxiety, self-doubt, relationship issues, and trauma can get in the way, leaving you wondering, "If these are supposed to be the best years of my life, then what am I doing wrong?" The truth is, you're not doing anything wrong—you're navigating a world that places a lot of pressure on young women. It's normal to feel lost or overwhelmed. Therapy can help you explore those feelings, gain clarity, and find practical ways to manage anxiety.

A myriad of reasons can lead someone to therapy. What if you aren't necessarily struggling, but you just want to know yourself better? Maybe you're an intellectually curious person who's tried to make sense of things for a while, but you aren't necessarily ill. Therapists can be unsure how to work with this as they're often pathology-based. Philosophy, which ponders the deeper "whys" of things, can help--but it can be overwhelming without a guide. We, as a team, can examine where you are and where you want to go.

As you’re looking for a therapist, it’s important to find someone you feel comfortable opening up to, and maybe even sharing aspects of your life that are hard to discuss. My clients often go there with me quickly; they can tell that I will be warm, supportive, nonjudgmental, and honor their trust. My approach to therapy is multicultural, LGBTQ+ affirming, sex positive, and I have a background working with first generation people. Clients who want to better understand and express their emotions have found therapy with me helpful for learning communication and skills they weren’t taught growing up.

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner committed to mental health treatment promotion and prevention. With a psychodynamic foundation, I integrate Internal family systems(IFS) and attachment theories to my treatment approach. This approach is successful with clients seeking help with adulting, relationships, families, and parenting as well as individual therapy. As an open and affirming Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner I've learned that the integration of these talk modalities are helpful for navigating life processes. Talk therapy undergirds the treatment relationship and when necessary may be complemented with medication management.

If you aren't in your body, someone else is. The systems of this world have everything to gain from your disembodiment. Stay near to yourself. Remember your body. - Cole Arthur Riley.
Stressful life experiences have left you feeling disconnected from your body. You find yourself struggling with thoughts such as, " I'm not good enough", "I'm a failure", or "something is wrong with me". Living this way is exhausting, and you want something different. Talk therapy can be helpful, but sometimes it's just not enough.

Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected? Does your life look perfect on paper, but you feel empty inside? Maybe perfectionism or people-pleasing is running your life, leaving little room for your own needs. You might be juggling the demands of parenthood, work, and relationships, and find yourself constantly running on empty, wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. I work with people like you who are ready to stop feeling burned out and start reconnecting with what matters most.

In 23 years of clinical experience, I have helped clients learn how to manage anxiety and depression due to work stress, a cancer diagnosis (and other chronic Illnesses), as well as other significant life changes. Medical illnesses are stressful, and we often need support through these difficult times. Grief and loss are common themes in therapy when we are coping with a new health problem, and especially when we are beginning to experience symptoms that we fear will negatively impact our life. Therapy helps us to manage these changes and the fears that come with them.

Sometimes life just gets you down! It can be from stress in a relationship or from raising children, unequal work-life balance or the result of a traumatic event. The important thing to know is that you don't have to go through it alone. I also work with teenage girls on relationship issues, anxiety, and depression.
