When you are feeling overwhelmed by life, a therapist can help you. You know that you want to feel better - and be better for yourself and others - but when you have been doing the things that have always worked in the past and find they are not working now, it may be time to enlist the support of a therapist. I love to work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, sad, anxious, indecisive, or have any other painful emotion. Instead of feeling stuck, I want to help you feel empowered to move forward and help manage those painful feelings.

I work extensively with families dealing with addiction, parenting concerns, and with intergenerational family conflicts.

Do you have something on your mind? There are times when we all have thoughts running through our minds. Thoughts related to family, friends, relationships, school, love, spirituality, money, work, or happiness. Sometimes they are memories from your past that you're unable to let go. Maybe you can't sleep, maybe you can't eat. Maybe you have lost your purpose, who you are, what you're doing or why. It could be big, or just a small thing you want to let go. These situations can slow you down and pull your life to a stop.

Do you feel inherently or uniquely flawed, isolated, stuck or inept at aspects of life? Supporting people beyond these limiting beliefs is my greatest joy. My specialty areas include chronic depression, complex trauma, anxiety, self-esteem issues, neurodivergence, relationship issues, communication mastery and major life transitions (career, grief, relationship, identity, retirement, medical). Through built trust, transparency, safety, humor and authenticity, we'll explore the mind-body-spirit connection and the many factors that influence how we feel, think, believe and act.

I assist individuals, couples, and families with a wide array of challenges across the life span. These difficulties include family of origin, attachment, and relational issues. For some clients, goals may include: reducing anxiety, learning to thrive through depression, or healing from grief. Everyone’s situation is unique and we all have had experiences at one point or another in which we needed help or direction.

I approach clients with a strength based focus, believing that clients move at their own pace and have a right to self determination.

I believe it is my job to collaborate with my clients to create a Narrative that feels authentic and attuned, and goes beyond binary thinking. We often get lost in what we feel like we should or can't do, which confines us in little boxes that make it hard for us to feel vibrant and celebrate our uniqueness. When we explore and deconstruct the social constraints and the context of the environment that shaped us, we begin to discover the biases that don't align with our personal experiences or beliefs. This grants the autonomy and freedom to get in touch with our most core self and better understand how we interact with our world.

Life doesn’t always look the way we imagined it would. You may be struggling with your relationship with food, feeling unsure of yourself, moving through a difficult transition, or simply wishing you felt happier and more like yourself.

Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel less stuck, more resilient, and better equipped to navigate whatever life brings.

I strive to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are — no judgment, no pressure, no need to have it all figured out. Therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported, and building that kind of relationship is at the heart of my work.
As a deeply empathic and highly sensitive person, I bring warmth, curiosity, and attunement into our sessions. My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and integrative — which means we focus on what fits you. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels respectful and grounded while working toward meaningful, lasting change.

People who feel things deeply, who often feel misunderstood, or who give too much to others—I’m here to help you. In our work together, we’ll focus on understanding your emotions, learning tools to stay present and manage stress, and building assertiveness and self-esteem. I frequently support college students and adults navigating low self-esteem, people-pleasing, anxious attachment, social anxiety, loneliness, rejection sensitivity, past trauma, and major life transitions, including younger and middle siblings who have learned to repress their needs or please others.

Although we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can move toward greater self understanding and more fulfilling relationships in the present. I engage with you based on a relationship of two people coming together as equals within the safety of the therapeutic container. My focus is on interpersonal relationship, however, I include art, music, movement, play, and guided imagery as another means to connect with each other and to free the imagination for self discovery.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
