You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, trauma, identity questions, chronic pain, or major life transitions. You may notice patterns that keep repeating in your relationships, feel disconnected from yourself, or carry emotional weight that’s hard to put into words. Often, there’s a desire not just to “feel better,” but to better understand yourself, your emotions, and why certain experiences feel so heavy. At the core, many clients want clarity, relief, and a sense of trust in themselves and their choices.

Are you seeking to address long term addictions, achieve a healthier lifestyle, or to find help around a complex relationship with someone who uses substances? Maybe you are in sobriety but need support around your mental health or to process past trauma that led to your initial use. Some of my clients seek to use substances in moderation with transparency and the support of a caring, nonjudgemental person. Others are seeking a sober lifestyle and are caught in the throws of self hatred and repeated lapses. Having a place to talk about these things can feel like relief in the midst of a storm.

You may look like you're holding it together on the outside — and still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stretched thin inside. Therapy can be a powerful ally in helping you not just cope, but find your footing.
I work with women, mothers, and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, and major life transitions, including the perinatal period: pregnancy, postpartum, and the shifts that come with becoming a parent. I hold both an MSW and an MPH in Maternal & Child Health — trained to think not just about what's happening inside you, but about the systems and pressures shaping how you feel.

I recognize each person as an individual with unique strengths, values and desires. As a part of the therapeutic process, I encourage people to identify and reflect on their own values and to improve their practice of making mindful choices based on those values. People often turn to therapy because they feel overwhelmed, alone, or disconnected. My hope for people receiving therapy is that they will experience a restoration of calm, a feeling of connectedness, and a return to a sense of normalcy. I concentrate on improving people's self-efficacy, the belief that one is able and capable.

Everyone thinks you have it all together but in reality, you’re exhausted. Life is weighing you down and you desire peace & balance within but it seems unobtainable. The fear of judgment forces you to suppress your feelings. It seems like there's no one you can trust and feel vulnerable with and share your deepest thoughts and fears out loud. You manage to push through every day and find yourself feeling tired, alone, and frustrated because no one understands and shows up for you when you need it the most. It's time for a change, but figuring out where to start is a challenge for you.

For the past 19 years, I have worked with individuals, families, and children to improve relationship dynamics, interpersonal effectiveness, and communication skills. Relationships are complicated and it is easy to misunderstand how others perceive our actions. Lived experiences, trauma, and other stressors add to the complications of relating to one another. In my work, I support individuals, couples and families facing multi-faceted challenges to shift into a new way of interacting with partners, children, friends, and co-workers. In my work with couples, I utilize the Gottman Method and completed Level I training.
