I am currently offering both in person &/or telehealth sessions for your convenience.
Have you had a recent change in your life and want a safe person to talk with to better understand yourself? Perhaps your feelings have felt more intense: anxiety, depression, confusion, or desire to find purpose to your life. You look around - seeking answers, understanding, & deeper healing. Maybe a life situation unfolded and you were suddenly on a path you never imagined (job loss, divorce, etc) or one you wanted to be on but it’s more stressful or different than what you thought (attending college or a new job). If this is you, I can support you. I approach all my clients with the understanding that we are capable of change.

I offer therapy in-person and virtually Monday-Friday.
Clients seeing me will benefit from developing insight into their strengths, a fostering (or improvement) of personal accountability, and nuanced treatment specific to each person. I offer nonjudgmental support to people experiencing a variety of concerns, and I integrate humor (when appropriate), empathy, and openness into each of my sessions. Clients can also expect knowledge of neurobiological functioning, family systems awareness, and a trauma informed lens to be threaded throughout my practice.

“If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt,
They’d immediately go out.”
-William Blake.
The couplet, from the poem Auguries of Innocence, captures my belief that we provide the light of meaning and purpose to our own lives. The couplet also speaks to the necessity of relationship, in William Blake’s case, between the Sun and the Moon, and in our case, between not only therapist and client, but client and the rest of the support systems around them. It’s my belief that while we are the source of our own solutions, we can’t do it alone; a conviction that starts with the importance I place on my relationships with clients.

I focus on building a strong foundational relationship with clients, collaboratively developing self-awareness, mood-stabilizing skills and communication tools that allow for the safe reprocessing of difficult experiences and emotions. I work with people who have experienced a range of challenges, from difficulties with life adjustments to complicated trauma and loss. It is important to me that clients understand that difficult and traumatic experiences can arise from a seemingly “normal” childhood or life event. Therapeutic support and guidance for any destabilizing event or emotion is a valuable resource.

I work with adults and adolescents who are navigating periods of transition—internally, externally, or both—where life can feel overwhelming, ungrounded, or uncertain. This might look like a career shift, identity exploration, relationship changes, or another major adjustment that brings anxiety, overthinking, or a lingering sense of heaviness. I believe change occurs through the development of a safe and secure therapeutic relationship where curiosity can take hold to identify the ideal aspects of self and build towards integrating understanding for the parts we would otherwise shy away from.

You have spent years being everything to everyone — holding it together, saying yes when you meant no, overriding your own truth to keep the peace. You are a woman navigating people pleasing, nervous system overwhelm, midlife, or perimenopause. You feel deeply and have been told you are too much.
I offer trauma-trained IFS and Somatic therapy that gets curious about your parts rather than pathologizing them. We work slowly, at the pace of your nervous system, tending what has been exiled and helping it lay down burdens it was never meant to carry. You were never broken. You were just unmet.

My approach is based on the idea that our struggles are due to not having enough room inside of us and this congestion is because of the traumas, abuses, and overwhelming and neglectful experiences we have had in our lives.
