At their core, they want to feel grounded again, to reconnect with themselves, and to move through life with more clarity, ease, and confidence.

Welcome. It takes courage to consider therapy. I know what it feels like to realize that without help, things won’t change. It may be that you are experiencing fatigue, physical health problems, problems with memory or attention, mood problems, or increasing struggles with anxiety. These problems may be getting harder to cope with, keeping you from advancing at work, being the parent you want to be, or from feeling connected to your friends, family, or partner. Sometimes there are these moments of clarity, where if we listen, life tells us it is time to try something different. You deserve to live a life worth living.

We all face rough patches in life from time to time. Whether it's a broken heart, splintered trust, fractured dreams, disintegrated thinking, or just feeling broken, we all face times when we are not sure how to proceed on our journeys. Wherever you are or whatever you are facing I believe you have already taken the biggest step in healing by admitting you need help. As a therapist at Potter Counseling, I would be honored to help you take the next steps in your mental health journey by offering you a listening ear, an open-heart, and the necessary skills and practices to help you move forward.

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.

My approach is deeply body- and mind-based, integrating Brainspotting, somatic healing, parts work, narrative therapy, and attachment-based therapy.
You are not broken—you are unfolding. You don’t need to “fix” yourself—you need a space where all parts of you feel seen, understood, and supported. I help individuals untangle deep-seated patterns, wounds, and beliefs that keep them stuck in cycles of self-doubt, overwhelm, and disconnection. In my practice, I focus on helping those experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship dynamic issues, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. I am passionate about providing an environment that feels collaborative, welcoming, and supportive—a space where you can heal, learn, and grow at your own pace.

Sometimes the parts of our lives that promise the most happiness become sources of anxiety, disappointment, or frustration. As a therapist at Potter Counseling, I aim to create 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 values-oriented goals, and you will experiment with new skills and ways of thinking to leave you feeling more confident and effective in important roles and relationships.

Tired of feeling overwhelmed by that loud and self-defeating voice? Frustrated with feeling hijacked by big emotions that don’t seem to fit what you know logically? Maybe you’re hoping to address challenges with pleasure, sex, gender, sexuality, conflict, relationships – or navigating the tensions that arise when resisting social norms more broadly. I help folks restore calm, playfulness, and connectedness to their lives in a collaborative, non-judgmental space, at their own pace.

We all live multi-storied lives. The stories that we tell ourselves and others shape who
we are in our day-to-day lives. Working through our own personal narratives can help us understand how our problem saturated stories hold exceptions for hope and change. Whether you are experiencing a life transition, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, perinatal/postpartum mental health, or grief, hope is still present. My intention is to collaborate with you to explore, unpack, and map out meaningful goals that match your new story.

I offer individual virtual therapy for LGBTQIA+ teens, adults, and caregivers of queer youth. I work with neurocurious and neurocomplex clients exploring or affirming their identity across the gender and sexuality spectrums. My clients are often navigating anxiety, burnout, and relationship tension in a marginalizing and overwhelming world. Many are working to overcome perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional dysregulation, while building resilience and self-compassion. I especially enjoy supporting those questioning dominant social narratives (such as poly/ENM) in creating lives that feel authentic, empowered, and fulfilling.

Exhausted by your loud inner critic? Overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list? Despite appearing to have your sh!t together, internally, you may feel like a scattered fraud, cosplaying as a human. Trying to be the perfect friend, perfect professional, or perfect partner all at once is tiring. Maybe there's a deeper wound that hasn't healed yet. Perhaps you dream of feeling fulfilled, calm, and confident. To say "no" and really mean it. To stop playing small & launch that creative idea. If you want to stress less and live authentically without fear or guilt, I’d love to help you step into your power.
