Maybe you’re stepping into independence for the first time, starting a new career, feeling uncertain about the future, navigating parenthood, experiencing grief or relationship stress, adjusting to changes, feeling lost in what your next chapter might be, or simply trying to make it through each day- I am glad you are here.

Do you feel like you have it “somewhat together”, like you’ve put in some work to be your best self but yet you still feel stuck? Do you feel like you aren’t seeing the changes you had hoped for or like your confidence has suffered? Maybe your relationship with yourself and others have felt draining or mentally taxing. Sometimes it can seem like everything takes more energy than it should.
I am dedicated to working with individuals like you—those who are capable of looking into themselves but can struggle to connect their thoughts to emotional breakthroughs to be able to inspire change.

I love children, and especially appreciate the opportunity to work with young children and their parents. I believe that when a child is struggling with some type of emotional or behavioral issue, it is important for them to have a safe place to discuss their concerns and feel that they have someone "on their side." My office is filled with toys and art projects to help any child feel safe and comfortable.

My specialty is attachment-based, trauma-informed therapy for adults and couples. I work at the intersection of attachment trauma, ADHD, and trauma-related stress, including PTSD. Therapy focuses on helping clients understand their relational and nervous system patterns, slow down reactivity, and build safer, more secure ways of relating. With couples, we work to identify negative cycles and strengthen emotional connection. With individuals, we focus on regulation, insight, and practical strategies that support real-life functioning.

I practice an integrative approach that draws on trauma-focused therapy, Internal Family Systems, cognitive-behavioral therapy, somatic, and psychodynamic principles.
Healing is neither linear nor neat, and many truths can co-exist: you can become someone new while still mourning who you were; engage in inner work and continue to be triggered; make mistakes and still practice self-forgiveness; and make progress yet still have difficult days. Healing is not about becoming more palatable, acceptable, or loveable; it is about growing in the ways you were always meant to. I provide a safe space that welcomes you to feel hurt, angry, sad, confused- whatever serves you- to feel seen.
