We don’t choose what life throws our way… But we choose our response. When the challenges of life hit, we can get lost in the mess of trying to understand why. Yet, sometimes things just happen and our job is not to understand why, but to identify what we are going to do about it next. Blending process oriented and action oriented approaches together I help clients process through the pain and frustrations of the past and reconnect with a meaningful life.

I work alongside people who are navigating the ups and downs of life, seeking healing from loss as well as traumatic experiences, and finding freedom in the recovery of their mental health. I believe therapy can be one of many powerful tools that allows us to integrate with our authentic self, reclaim our story, connect in a new or meaningful way, and experience a life worth living. I help people who are looking to create healthier relationships through needs exploration, boundary setting, and mindful self-compassion. I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Brainspotting, & Mindfulness interventions.

In work with adults, I most frequently draw from the frameworks of CBT, DBT, and IFS.
All of us are faced with experiences in life we could use some help with. Using warmth, gentleness, and humor, my goal as a therapist is to create a safe and healing relationship with you. Together we can explore the parts of yourself and your journey that might feel scary to do alone. l look forward to working with you in defining for yourself who you are and reshaping beliefs that no longer serve you.

I work with adults and couples navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, identity development, body image concerns, and feeling stuck or disconnected.
My work is grounded in a humanistic, client-centered, trauma-informed approach that integrates mind-body awareness and emotional insight. I provide a collaborative, supportive space where clients can explore patterns, build resilience, and reconnect with their values, helping them feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned in daily life.

I work with adults who feel stuck in painful patterns, overwhelmed by emotions, or burdened by past events that continue to affect their present lives.
I am a licensed mental health therapist who specializes in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, an evidence-based approach proven to help individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences.

Are you feeling lost or like you’re not where you should be? Are you struggling with feeling like a failure or comparing yourself to others? Are you feeling disconnected from your partner or your friends and family? Any of these feelings can bring up deep fear and pain that can be difficult, or nearly impossible to shake. You might even be worried that the spark inside you has gone out. It hasn't. It's just covered up with layers of guck and muck that may have accumulated over many years. What you need is help digging down and uncovering your spark so you can live joyfully as your most authentic self.

Sometimes it seems that life has given us more than we can handle, and in times like these we may need others to help along the way. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between myself and the individuals, couples, and families I work with. I bring a non-anxious presence to the therapeutic process, and I work to create a casual and approachable space for you, your child, or your family. I work with those who have experienced trauma, loss, abuse, peer difficulties, spiritual issues, family conflict, self-harm, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

I work with adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic, relational, and systemic frameworks. I view symptoms, behaviors, and emotional struggles as meaningful signals — ways your mind and body communicate that something needs attention. These signals often reflect unmet needs or deeper, sometimes unconscious patterns shaped by early relationships and life experiences.

I believe that every person has an emotional, mental, physical and spiritual life that needs to be supported and nurtured. The path to emotional healing occurs through a collaborative approach focused on enhancing personal strengths and reconnection to oneself with an increased capacity for self-acceptance and compassion. My therapeutic approach is influenced by trauma-informed and attached-based therapies, specifically NARM (Neuroaffective Relational Model), and AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Processing) to facilitate emotional healing and connection to one's authentic self.

I am passionate about helping people live an authentic life free of the suffering that comes from trauma, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. I use a variety of modalities to determine how your past has defined and directed your life so that together we can create a new narrative for healthy living. If you want to get beyond the pain and begin to live life more fully, I would feel honored to work with you in this transformation.

If you often feel deeply affected by the emotions of others, overwhelmed by life’s demands, or as though you’re carrying more than you can manage, these experiences can feel isolating, but with compassionate support, you don’t have to navigate what’s happening in your life alone. I work alongside individuals navigating cycles of anxiety, chronic pain, trauma, and traits associated with being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Many highly sensitive individuals experience heightened empathy, deep emotional processing, and an increased awareness of their environment, which can lead to both unique strengths and challenges.

I work with people who have symptoms, such as depression and anxiety, and with people who feel as though they are not moving forward in life in the ways they had hoped. They may feel frustrated that they are not finding satisfying relationships or the gratifying career that they had always thought they would.

I have over 8 years of experience as a therapist, including working with adults and adolescents in various countries and cultures.
My clients are athletes and individuals who are tired of feeling stuck because of performance anxiety blocking their potential, trauma from the past shaping their present, or an injury that's taken more than a physical toll. They come in wanting to feel less anxious, perform better under pressure, and finally make sense of what's been holding them back. Together, we use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and somatic work to help integrate their experiences into a story that is no longer overwhelming. We also focus on developing personalized tools that work when it counts.

Struggling with sexual issues can leave you feeling ashamed, anxious, depressed, and disconnected from your partner and loved ones. I help couples and individuals identify what is keeping you stuck in old patterns, behaviors and beliefs so that you can create sustainable change and build the life you want to be living. I work with couples who struggle with issues like experiencing differing levels of desire, having a low or no sex relationship, struggling to heal from infidelity, or figuring out how to manage the effects of past trauma.

In my work with individuals, I support adults seeking help navigating anxiety, perfectionism, life transitions, career shifts, and relationship concerns.
In my work with couples, I often support partners who are preparing for parenthood or adjusting to life with a baby. These transitions can bring up new challenges and emotions, and my goal is to help couples strengthen communication, deepen understanding, and stay connected through it all.

Through an embodied and trauma-informed approach, I enjoy working with clients who might be dealing with anxiety, depression, body image struggles, relationship and family dynamic issues, life transitions, trauma, PTSD, self-regulation concerns, and codependency. I help clients who want to practice radical acceptance and find a sense of safety in their bodies, minds, relationships, homes, workplaces, and life experiences. I welcome clients who may be affected by socio-political-environmental issues and work through a feminist lens to relate with my clients. Sessions are offered in-office, outdoors, and virtually.

I work with adults experiencing trauma, childhood emotional neglect, relationship difficulties, anxiety, shame and patterns of over-functioning or self-criticism.
You’re a therapist or helping professional who appears capable and put-together on the outside—but inside you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. You may struggle with chronic self-criticism, perfectionism, or a sense that you’re always in survival mode. Even though you understand the language of mental health, something still feels unresolved. You don’t want quick fixes or surface-level coping strategies—you want to get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck.

The areas of our lives are intricately connected. While problems often have ripple effects, so can solutions. I have been working as a therapist for 25+ years in several types of settings and have logged countless hours with individuals and families. I believe that people often have difficult circumstances that bring them to my office, but introspection and examination of family dynamics can be interesting and enjoyable too.

I work with children (ages 3 and up), adolescents, adults, couples, and families, tailoring therapy to each person's unique needs and goals.
I work with children (ages 3+), teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, trauma, anger, and life transitions. Using Brainspotting, CBT, strengths-based approaches, and play therapy techniques, I provide a supportive space to build coping skills, foster resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
