Relationships are at the heart of our emotional well-being and often, our deepest pain. Anxiety, depression, shame, and trauma-related symptoms often stem from past or present relationship experiences.
You may be in an unhealthy or unfulfilling relationship, have experienced relationship betrayal, or struggling with the effects of early childhood trauma or neglect. Whatever the source of your emotional pain, I believe healing and growth are possible. I offer a safe, supportive space where we can work together to heal emotional pain and build more fulfilling relationships — with yourself and with others.

I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety or depression. I also work with people experiencing grief or who have been in abusive relationships. I work collaboratively with clients to help them find peace and rest in the midst of daily life.

Sliding fee available – Relationships with ourselves, our bodies & health, and with others may feel painful, nuanced, and hard to explain. These challenges may lead to endless internal conflicts. Even if we feel loved or validated, it may be hard to turn down our intrusive thoughts. At times, our minds may be playing familiar tunes: I’m unlovable, I cause problems, I don’t matter, I can’t trust others/myself, or I’m not enough. Thankfully, those narratives can change. Therapy can offer real hope and noticeable growth. It can help improve patterns, boundaries, power struggles, and self-compassion, even with things we can’t control.

One of my favorite quotes that really applies to therapy-seekers is this: "Every flight begins with a fall." You may feel alone, afraid, or ashamed, but you also have a bit of hope that talking with someone new about it might help. If some of your concerns are related to your sexuality or your relationships, and you don't know where to turn for nonjudgmental expertise, you're in the right place. I will walk us down the path to figuring out how to get your goals to mesh with your day-to-day reality in a way that will flow more smoothly than what you've been slogging through. It won't always be comfortable work, but you've got this.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
