I am offering in person sessions as well as walk and talk therapy.
Therapy is an opportunity to help people diminish pain, cope with challenges, and gain support through adverse experiences. Additionally, it challenges personal growth through insight development, compassion and attentiveness. I have 16 years of experience and my areas of expertise are anxiety disorders, religious trauma, perinatal and postpartum health, couples therapy and chronic illness. I often work with individuals struggling to cope with the day to day and who want to align their beliefs and values with the people around them; whether that's the family, workplace or a faith institution.

Do you feel inundated with self-critical thoughts, or perhaps you experience a sense of emptiness and separateness? Are you unfulfilled with the relationships in your life, or wish you had more connections? Sometimes all the time we spend thinking and doing makes us miss important messages from our body about what we are feeling and needing. We then feel confused, anxious, or distracted. Unfortunately, we often learn from an early age to ignore our feelings and our bodies, which leads us to feel a lingering sense of shame, disconnection from others, and even physical pain and illness.

Hi there! It’s great to see you. I offer support services to teens, young adults, older adults, and justice involved individuals.

My goal is to work with individuals to find their strengths and to support them in developing adaptive tools that can be used across a variety of settings. I work from a person-centered empowerment approach to create an environment where individuals feel supported in achieving their therapy goals.

I welcome and work with adults from all backgrounds and stages of life. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, engaged in anti-racist work, and approach my clients with empathy, nonjudgement, and respect for their strengths. As a former professor who left academia, I value supporting clients through big decisions, school or career stress, and life transitions. I view mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, burnout, and trauma as responses to individual, social, and environmental factors, rather than 'personal' issues. Consequently, I help clients make changes in their own habits, their relationships, and their wider contexts.

I offer sessions in person at my office in the historic Walltown district, or via telehealth.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am passionate about helping others find the tools to live healthy, authentic and empowered lives. I have experience working with pre-teens (10+), teens, and adults who may feel stuck, confused or simply unsure of what their next steps in life might look like.

With over 10 years of experience working with diverse populations in a variety of unique roles, I believe I have the clinical insight to help you find your footing.

Sometimes the parts of our lives that promise the most happiness become sources of anxiety, disappointment, or frustration. I am passionate about creating a warm, welcoming space where you can speak openly about these things and be taken seriously. I will invite you to tell your story, to reflect on formative relationships and experiences, and to grow in awareness of current thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors. Together we will set goals related to your challenges, and you will experiment with new skills and ways of thinking to leave you feeling more confident and effective in important roles and relationships.

You may be someone used to figuring things out on your own, but you’ve run out of ideas or want a fresh perspective. Maybe you have sought help before but were frustrated by the pace of your previous therapy. Perhaps life has thrown you a curveball, and it’s time to make some changes. Either way, you want real solutions as well as support and encouragement. My clinical judgment is tempered by real-world experience. I've raised two kids to adulthood, and been married and divorced. I’m an ex business guy. I have a Ph.D. in Psychology, I’ve run real businesses, coached top execs, and been helping people for 25+ years.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and provide psychotherapy to adolescents, young adults, and adults. My approach is warm and engaging, curious and authentic. I work collaboratively with my clients and maintain a compassionate and inviting stance. I continue to feel honored to engage in this work and bear witness to such courage and vulnerability. I practice from a relational, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed framework. This means that, together, we will think about how the experiences you have been through in your life have shaped who you are today and how you engage in the world.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with over 4 years of experience working with adults and seniors seeking help with anxiety, stress, ADHD, depression, dysfunctional relationships, life transitions, and sexual dysfunction. While I work with a variety of people, my main focus is sex therapy. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in Sex Therapy from Capella University. I tend to think outside the box and often incorporate coping skills or techniques that may differ from traditional methods.

Loneliness is the worst. Isolation shows up in many forms, including shame, stress, mistrust, and unproductive conflict. People grow and heal in the context of secure relationships, and I aim to help clients create and sustain them. It's my pleasure to work with couples, partnerships and individuals who are experiencing distress, coping with trauma, or struggling with identity development.
