My clients are often individuals who are feeling immense pressure to have it all together, experiencing big emotions around big life changes, are struggling in their relationships, or wanting to further understand themselves and reach their full potential. If any of this sounds familiar, we may be a good match! I’m especially passionate about working with teens, women, and young adults, those who are struggling with the effects of an emotionally immature caretaker or partner, self-diagnosed people-pleasers and perfectionists, and attachment wounds. I also welcome conversations about body image and food with compassion.

Life can sure LIFE, right! The long “to do” list, the expectations from all those around you. The constant weight and pressure that can’t be explained or diminished. Feeling sad? Who has time to cry? "Not you!" You feel guilty for even thinking of taking a break, let alone self care. That irritable mood is lasting much longer than it used to these days and your family and friends are starting to call you out for it. That’s not who you are and that's not who you want to be. It feels like you are getting further and further away from yourself. If you can even remember who that is.

Healing can feel overwhelming, confusing, and isolating but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I am a trauma-informed therapist who brings both professional expertise and lived experience into my work. My own healing journey deeply informs my understanding of how trauma whether personal, relational, generational, or historical can shape emotional well-being, self-worth, and identity.
I specialize in helping individuals uncover and gently address the root causes of their pain, rather than just managing symptoms. Together, we work to understand how your past experiences continue to impact your present and how healing is possible!

Welcome to you, squinting at this website, likely wondering if a therapist is the sort of thing that might actually help. Maybe you find yourself lost, heartbroken, furious, defeated, or confused.

Life can present us with situations that cause pain, anxiety or suffering. These problems can stem from your past, or may have presented more recently.
