It is my passion to help others by working together to address life’s difficulties, stressors, and especially the internal mental battles that can make each day feel overwhelming, or perhaps downright impossible. Through my 11 years in the field, I have worked with individuals ages 8-90 from a variety of different backgrounds, and it is my priority to meet each person where they are at in life with an empathetic ear and an open mind.

I’m drawn to the ways people come to understand themselves and connect with others, especially through the lens of intersecting identities and experiences. For many of us, our identities and experiences are connected to differences in the way we think, feel, and process the world; differences that may relate to neurodivergence, environment, cultural identity, or trauma.

I work with kids, teens, and adults.
To get to know oneself can be challenging, joyful, scary and even surprising. Yet the work pays off by enabling us to create rich, intentional and meaningful lives. In our sessions, I will help you learn more about yourself by bringing thoughtful attention to the patterns of your life. Through an empathetic and curious approach, together we can create a space to explore and make meaningful change in your life. Our world keeps us so busy that we often don't have time to connect with ourselves.

I have been practicing for 29 years with children, teens, adults, and families from all walks of life.
It can feel like you were given a different social playbook than everyone else. Trying to keep up at work while managing friendships and family expectations can feel like a constant performance, leaving you depleted. This pressure often leads to a cycle of social burnout, persistent anxiety, and feeling completely misunderstood. You might wonder why balancing it all feels so draining, or if you'll ever find a rhythm that doesn't lead to exhaustion.

I believe you are the authority on your own life. Within you exists the potential to express your authentic self and to live a fulfilling life. However, there are times in our lives when we may experience stress, depression, anxiety, anger, or complacency.

Whatever concerns you are struggling with, I will collaborate with you to help you identify your goals and develop a treatment approach to empower you to realize them.

As children, we intuitively develop adaptive solutions to maladaptive situations that enable us to protect our hearts and minds.
Together we will work to gain a deeper understanding into your life narrative. Within the safety of a good therapeutic relationship there is often a freeing up of space that allows us to finally separate the past from the present so we are no longer doomed to repeat it.
