I work with those experiencing, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, life transitions, health crisis, attachment issues, ADHD, relationship challenges, career changes, self-care, lack of effective communication, self-loathing, self-doubt, suicidal ideation, PTSD, CPTSD, and trauma.
I believe everyone has the capacity for change. I serve people from all walks of life, and value compassion, authenticity and kindness, while helping clients grow. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can unpack and heal from the painful, challenging and traumatic parts of life so they don’t have to carry that weight forever. I practice with the philosophy that therapy is a collaborative work in-progress between therapist and client to formulate a plan of treatment that is best suited to individual needs and goals.

My style is warm and authentic and focused on what goals people have for counseling. I provide a supportive space for people to explore gender identity and expression and honor what feels most authentic to them. I meet regularly with people in the LGBTQ community and work to connect people with additional supports and resources if needed.

I specialize in divorce, high-conflict co-parenting, betrayal trauma, and major life transitions.
Sometimes life does not just change. It collapses. Divorce, custody conflict, betrayal, financial upheaval, and the sudden loss of the life you planned can leave you functioning on the outside while falling apart on the inside. I work with adults who need someone who understands both the emotional weight and the practical reality of rebuilding. If you are navigating divorce or separation, co-parenting conflict, the aftermath of betrayal, or a life that looks nothing like what you planned, you are in the right place.

Taking the first step can be daunting but I find that often times, the most important part of healing is feeling seen, heard, and understood.

I work hand in hand with my clients to reach their goals and leave session feeling more confident and resilient.
