It is important to me to build an open, inclusive, and non-judge mental environment through focusing on your whole self. Creating a safe and supportive space is my first priority. From there we can process stressors, explore growth points, and pursue goals. I am a gentle and compassionate listener who works hard to understand you and your concerns. I can help you sort through your thoughts and feelings so that you can make sense of the past and implement a plan for the future which includes clarity and compassion for yourself and others.

It seems that asking for help can get equated to weakness and not being in control. We tell ourselves we don’t have it together as much as others do or that other people have it worse and that our problems are not significant enough, when the truth is that life is hard for everyone in different ways. We tend to compare and hold ourselves to standards that are not realistic for us. We start to believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with us. Life is uncharted territory for us all. I enjoy helping my clients sort out these normal feelings in life; the confusion, the fear, the struggle, that is all just part of being human.

There is a special kind of exhaustion that comes with trying to live in the present while your past keeps pulling you back. I know that fog, that shortness of breath, the critical voice that won't relent, the grief that swallows you, or how a single trigger can derail an entire day. More importantly, I know the profound courage it takes to even think about asking for help when everything in our culture tells us we should be able to do this alone. The truth is, we aren't built for that kind of independence. We're built for connection. Working together, I want to help you remember how to feel empowered in your own body and mind again.

When people think "therapist", they tend to picture someone who looks like Sigmund Freud, with a tweed jacket and half-rim glasses asking "And how does that make you feel?" Stuffy, awkward, and someone who's just out of touch. I can assure you, I am definitely Not That. Some of my adolescent clients (and my colleagues, honestly) have described me as "a purple-haired gremlin" and "a goblin in a spinny-chair". If you're ready to work with someone who brings a lot of authenticity and slightly less caffeine, look no further.

Are you constantly overwhelmed, behind on tasks, reactive, or just plain exhausted from trying to keep up? Do you find yourself masking, feeling ashamed, frustrated, or misunderstood—especially when it comes to focus, motivation, or emotions? You're not alone. Clients often tell me they feel like they’re working twice as hard for half the results. They feel stuck, burned out, and like they don’t make sense—even to themselves. These are common experiences for adults with ADHD, and they're exactly why I do what I do. I'm an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider with specialized training in ADHD-specific strategies.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
