Welcome! Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted from trying to "manage" their thoughts, emotions, life events, or reactions on their own. It is all so much, especially within our current culture. I offer a nonjudgmental, warm, and inviting space where we can focus on understanding what's happening and building real, usable tools to help you move forward. I am passionate about my work with adults who struggle with: anxiety, rumination, depression, life transitions, postpartum mental health, athletes, and high self-criticism.

My philosophy is to get things figured out so you can get back to living your life.

I work with clients who feel everything deeply—and sometimes wish they didn’t. Many describe their inner world as intense, confusing, or exhausting. They’re thoughtful, capable people who appear composed while often feeling overwhelmed within. Whether it’s depression that lingers, anxiety that won’t quiet, anger that erupts, or emotional numbness that disconnects you, I help you understand what your emotions are communicating rather than letting them dictate your thoughts, behavior, or relationships. My style is warm, curious, and collaborative, grounded in evidence-based strategies that build resilience, balance, and self-trust

My approach to therapy is relational, integrative, and tailored to each person. I believe deeply in people’s capacity to change and offer compassionate, non-judgmental support grounded in years of experience treating trauma (including PTSD with Prolonged Exposure), anxiety, and substance-use–related concerns. I bring humor and humanity into the work because therapy is easier when we can relax. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll help guide you to someone who is.

I provide a safe and comfortable place to open up and explore what is troubling you. This includes identifying what you’re struggling with and discovering where your natural strengths are. Successful therapy includes identifying what you would like to change AND what you are doing well. Everyone experiences pain and we all deserve a safe place to heal and find what we need to create (or re-create) a life that feels meaningful. When life becomes painful and challenging, it’s normal to feel imbalanced and hopeless that you will ever feel whole again. I believe you can feel whole again.
