Are you an individual who has overcome a lot to find success in life and you find that you "should be" happy, but you can't figure out how to get there?

I work with neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals from adolescents to older adults, addressing issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, grief, relationship conflicts, self-injury, disordered eating, and establishing healthy boundaries.
Life can feel so overwhelmingly difficult, it may be hard to see beauty or feel joy, often leading us to retreat inward. I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership and my role as your support, as we work together to achieve your goals, deepen your understanding of and connection to your most authentic self, and recognize your inherent worthiness of joy and love.
With a trauma-informed and person-centered focus, I practice from a place of cultural humility, and am intentional in fostering a space that feels safe and affirming for anyone who enters the room.
You're not alone. And together, we'll figure it out!

I offer clients a collaborative approach to address whatever may have brought them to my door. My relationally focused psychodynamic style supports the idea that healing occurs through our connection with others. By providing a safe and solid therapeutic relationship to a person, that person begins to experience a greater range of perspective regarding their own life and the lives around them. With increased self-awareness, individuals are able to recognize that they have more choices in their lives. I have found this to be true regardless of what obstacles a person may be facing.
