Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it now. Action has magic, grace, and power in it.(Goethe) I am passionate about psychotherapy because it frequently reminds me that magic, grace, and powerful change are possible. We all feel confused, stuck, or hopeless during the course of our lives. Personally and professionally my work confirms that we are designed to grow towards healing and authentic happiness. As the sources of suffering often originate from impairments or losses in our primary relationships,so the greatest potential in psychotherapy lies in the relationship between client and therapist.

My ideal clients are teens and adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in old patterns, often carrying a lot for others while feeling unsure how to care for themselves. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, boundary challenges, family or relationship conflict, life transitions, or the emotional weight of parenting. Many want relief from constant worry, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of calm and self-trust. I have a special passion for working with women, new mothers, young people, and LGBTQIA+ folx who want a space where they feel safe to honor their truest selves, and also try new things.

We’re a small group of clinicians who believe change happens through real, human connection - when someone allows themselves to be vulnerable in front of another person and feels met with care rather than judgment. We don’t see therapy as something to rush or “do right.” We see it as a relationship that develops over time, where safety and trust come first.

Life brings challenges that can overwhelm our ability to cope. You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma, or turning to coping strategies that offer temporary relief but ultimately create more distress—like gambling, overspending, substance use, or emotional withdrawal. Transitions such as relationship struggles, career changes, or the natural process of aging can also bring emotional strain and disrupt your sense of balance.

I believe that we all have an inner healing intelligence. Our work together will create space for it to blossom. I work from an eco-psychological lens, with the belief that our emotional and physical wellbeing are nurtured by our interconnection within the whole.
My work is compassion-focused and aims to help clients cultivate that resource within themselves. I draw upon both IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR techniques for deepening the process of self-knowing and understanding the patterns that hold us back from flourishing.

You deserve a space where you can breathe again. I believe that real healing happens when we address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of life, know that your anxiety doesn't define who you are. My mission is to help you move beyond just "getting by" so you can truly thrive.

Couples Counseling with a therapist who “gets it” is often just what is needed for a relationship that is struggling, in conflict, on its last legs, or when it is going through transition. Sometimes relationships are in crisis due to infidelity or the discovery of pornography use. Couples counseling is proven to be very helpful in these situations, resolving relationship conflicts such as sexual problems, financial conflict, disagreements over parenting issues, or communication problems among other issues that arise in relationships.
