With over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I work with a wide range of human difficulties. From young adults trying to find their way, to individuals struggling with anxiety or depression, I believe that my work is to draw out the hidden potential in each person. Throughout the years I have trained in a wide spectrum of modalities, ranging from cognitive-behavioral therapy, to attachment theory and advanced work with the subconscious mind. And sometimes just talking about an issue in a safe environment, giving it words, allows the next step towards a happier life.

If you are feeling fearful of disappointing people, overcome by your emotions, or super aware of your surroundings, life can feel exhausting. Maybe you've been told "You're too sensitive", leaving you feeling judged. This can make you feel flawed, leaving you anxious and in constant fear. These are some of the difficulties Highly Sensitive People (HSP) experience. Life is full of rigid judgments, however, it’s in the gray space that we grow and explore. Society pressures us to conform, particularly when it comes to gender + sexuality. I am a dedicated advocate for LGBTQIA+ individuals who are exploring multiple aspects of identity.

I work with teens, college students, adults, and couples. Many of my clients struggle with attention deficit, depression, anxiety, micromanaging thoughts, perfectionism, and boredom.

Searching for a therapist is difficult. Sifting through websites and directories can be overwhelming. I want to help you decide if I might be the person to help you. I believe people benefit the most from therapy when they trust they will not be judged and when they have confidence in their therapist. I make every effort to accomplish these two things through my demeanor and use of evidence-based psychotherapy.

I believe we all go through challenging periods and difficult experiences in our lives when we can feel overwhelmed, scared, angry or isolated. During these times it can be particularly difficult to reach out and ask for help, and it often requires a great amount of courage to share these painful feelings with others. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, it is essential to have a strong and comfortable relationship with your therapist in order to feel safe enough to share your personal experiences. I make it my goal to build a warm and supportive environment where we can explore your specific concerns and circumstances.

Do you feel like you're living in a world that wasn't made for you, constantly trying to bridge the gap between who you are and who the world expects you to be? Like no matter how hard you try, there’s something different about you that others just don’t seem to understand? You might find yourself overwhelmed by social situations, exhausted by sensory overload, or feeling like you have to hide your true self just to fit in. Maybe you’ve recently stumbled upon the possibility that Autism or ADHD could explain your lifelong struggles, or you’ve been diagnosed later in life, leaving you with a mix of relief and uncertainty.
