I create a relaxed, fun, and personable therapy experience! I enjoy working with all individuals aged 6+. In our time together, I will teach therapeutic devices such as coping skills, symptom management, emotion identification, cognitive restructuring, and self-care. I am trained in EMDR which allows clients to reprocess trauma and combat negative core beliefs they hold about themselves. My athletic background allows me to relate to active individuals and connect their physical and mental health. I enjoy working with clients on navigating life transitions, such as graduation, moving, and new relationships.

Fruits without roots are dead, or fake. I provide fecund soil, for a turn, for bountiful harvest by your hands. Dissolve the persona, germinated early, without abundance of soil, or only in water. Grow real, strong. Together, we gather ground, unearth, and responsibly prune the false selves, in sand, imagery, miniatures, symbolism, philosophies, and metaphors. You learn to look within, not without. “If you give a man a fish, he is hungry again in an hour. If you teach him to catch a fish, you do him a good turn” (Anne Ritchie). Come feed your mind, get rooted, cultivate your gardens, and fashion tools that engender peace & joy.

My approach centers around building connections, empowering you to become the best version of your authentic self, offering compassion and staying curious about who you are from a past, present and future perspective; helping you become the author to your own story.

Although I welcome working with a range of client concerns, my areas of special focus include navigating body image, disordered eating, guilt/shame and perfectionism, neurodivergent struggles, identity exploration and anxiety management.

Do you ever feel a heaviness without knowing why? Doing everything “right” but never quite feeling like it’s enough. Caught in worry loops that leave you drained, over-preparing for the worst, or frozen by racing thoughts? I have been there. I know how draining it is to carry so much while still questioning your path. I also know therapy isn’t just about listening. My approach is active and collaborative, offering tools, talk, and somatic practices to help you release old lenses and create a life that feels authentic, grounded, and fully your own.

Choosing the right therapist or counselor is an important decision. It is essential for you to feel emotionally safe, comfortable, heard, & supported during your healing journey. A strong therapeutic relationship will begin to address interpersonal stressors or conflicts & mirror appropriate communication skills, listening skills, coping skills, requests for needs, & boundaries. In time, with your trust and confidence, you can transfer your skills to the community. Or, if you feel safer, those conversations & interactions can be kept within the office setting allowing you to be in control of the speed and progress of your journey.

The world can be an overwhelming place. No matter what you have been through or are currently experiencing, I believe that when you feel fully accepted and appreciated for who you are at your core, that is when growth and change can occur. I strive to create a warm and genuine environment where you, as the client, feel safe to explore who you are as a person and how you want to show up in the world. I value connection and want to see my clients succeed in life, however that may look to each unique individual.

Do you keep it together on the outside while quietly running on empty inside? You're high-functioning, capable, and by most measures doing fine — but underneath that, something feels stuck. Maybe it's anxiety that won't quit, a pattern you can't shake, or the creeping sense that you've been holding it all together for so long you've forgotten what it feels like not to. I work with high-achieving adults — especially women — who are done white-knuckling through life and ready to stop managing their symptoms and start actually healing at the root.

My goal in therapy is to help be the catalyst for change you want for you in your life. You are the expert in you, your needs are real and valid. I love helping people navigate the very real stressors and pressures of the world, and helping them find approaches that align with their needs and the resources available to them. I particularly enjoy the quality of life improvements that come from assisting with anxiety/panic disorders, major life transitions, grief and loss , traumatic events, tech and other media addiction and its impact on relationships or even our own personal well-being.

I offer a creative, supportive, non-judgmental space for those who are interested in gaining a better understanding of themselves and what their natural strengths are.
