I’m the kind of therapist who can talk baseball stats, hiking trails, parenting chaos, and anxiety spirals all in the same session. As a mom of two teenagers, I’ve earned an honorary degree in negotiation, patience, and surviving dramatic eye rolls. With 15 years of experience, I work with children, teens, and adults who feel stressed, stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. My approach is practical, honest, collaborative, and sprinkled with humor—because therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or overly clinical. Together, we’ll build coping tools and create real, sustainable change.

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.

Experiencing ongoing, underlying anger? Having difficulty concentrating at times? Or problems sleeping? Overly anxious or feeling depressed? Or, is life a bit overwhelming at this time? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, know I understand that living life with these issues saps your joy, making it hard to move forward. As a dance/movement therapist, I use movement to provide a physical dimension to traditional “talk” therapies. Dance therapy allows clients to embody their thoughts and feelings, as well as to practice “walking-through” potential solutions.

Life doesn’t always give you space to catch your breath. The pressure to keep up with responsibilities, expectations, and your emotions can leave you drained and uncertain about where to turn. You don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy is a place to step back, reflect, and regain balance. Whether you’re coping with anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, past wounds, or major life changes, you deserve a supportive space where your voice matters and you feel truly understood.

You may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body and emotions. Anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction may be affecting daily life, while stress shows up as tension, fatigue, or emotional burnout. You may be seeking support for yourself or your child (ages 5 and up) and want tools to manage stress, build resilience, and feel more balanced. You’re looking for therapy that understands the mind–body connection—because stress doesn’t just live in your head.

I accept Aetna, Vaya Health (Medicaid), Healthy Blue, AmeriHealth, and WellCare.
Most people who reach out aren't in crisis. They're managing, often impressively, while quietly running on fumes. They show up for their responsibilities, take care of others, and hold the appearance of having it together. But underneath, there's a different story, perhaps an anxiety that never fully quiets, an exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix, old patterns that keep surfacing in ways that are harder to ignore. Maybe a loss has settled into you in ways you haven't had room to process. Maybe you're in the middle of a transition you didn't choose. Whatever brought you here, that awareness is worth trusting.
