I find it rewarding beyond words to be allowed to share in my patient's unique life experiences and witness their growth and transformation. It is an honor to be trusted with another person's inner world and to be able to build a therapeutic relationship that helps them recover from whatever difficulties that they are experiencing. I provide a therapeutic space in a comfortable, home-like atmosphere that deviates from the "going to the local mental health center" experience.

Talking to someone that you don't know about your problems is not easy. I get it and I've been there before. I learned that suffering is not only a very common human experience, it's something we don't have to go through alone. Another thing that comes up is whether or not our problems are "important enough" and if they are important to you, they are important to me. School issues? Single and going back into the dating world? Relationship issues? Self-esteem? Parenting? You name it, and I want to be there to support you through it all.

Life is complex, but feeling alone can really make it feel intolerable. As a clinical social worker, my approach to mental health is rooted in unconditional positive regard and care, all based on a belief that we can heal from previous hurt and traumas. I delight in accompanying individuals through their life experience, processing the challenging emotions, and witnessing the emergence of relief, tolerating the myriad of emotions, and finding a life of thriving. I see the therapeutic relationship as a personalized, reparative dyad for discovering new ways of viewing yourself and connecting in relationships.

I am closed for weekly therapy but currently offer EMDR Intensives (1–3 sessions lasting 3–6 hours each). Intensives are ideal if you feel stuck or sense there’s a “last piece” keeping you from fully moving forward. They provide focused time to heal trauma from the past, work through recent experiences, or lower distress about upcoming events. Since the past shapes how we respond today, this approach often brings relief to current struggles with anxiety, depression, or relationships. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and create meaningful, lasting change through focused work. (HSAs accepted: Intensives are not covered by insurance)

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
