I would characterize my approach to working with clients as both holistic and strength-based. I feel that achieving mental and emotional well-being and healthy relationships requires paying attention to all areas of self: the mind, body and spirit. In addition, I try to help my clients achieve mental, emotional and relational health by building on the strengths already present in their lives. I firmly believe that people have the ability to make positive changes in their lives, and I see it as my job to help clients identify and traverse the steps necessary to achieving these changes.

Every person is on a unique journey, navigating the path toward authentic self-discovery & healing. I believe that our ego, the part of us that influences our identity & perception, can sometimes hide our true self- the soul, from view. The soul represents a deeper, more evolved sense of being, embodiment, compassion, & connection beyond the limitations of the ego. The word, “sage” historically refers to a wise, enlightened guide - one who embodies spiritual knowledge and insight. True, genuine wisdom, like the sage, arises from embracing our whole self.

Welcome. I’m honored you’re here. I see distress as a meaningful signal—an invitation to relate to ourselves in new and more sustainable ways. Many of us were taught to minimize distress, push through pain, or carry shame in silence. Psychotherapy takes a different approach. Whether you’re returning to therapy or this is your first time, my goal is to create a safe and empowering space conducive to healing and growth.

Therapy Made Simple
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, OCD, eating disorders, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a place where you finally exhale, feel understood, and begin moving forward with clarity and confidence. I believe therapy does not have to feel intimidating or clinical. Think of it more like sitting down for a cup of coffee and having a real, honest conversation about what matters most to you.

Choosing the right therapist can be challenging but it is probably the most important part of the process. As your therapist, I won't profess to be an expert in your life, nor will I sit quietly nodding my head in complete silence. Instead, we'll work together, side by side, as we tackle life's challenges. I'll draw on your insights & provide guidance to help create positive, meaningful changes in your life. My commitment to transparency serves as the cornerstone of my work & is the foundation from which we will use to build a solid therapeutic relationship based on authenticity, trust, honesty, & compassion.

I enjoy helping those who are ready and even hesitant to start therapy. Our time is a safe place for you to process your anxiety, trauma, depression, and thoughts. Accepting our feelings and facing them is difficult. Having an outside person to go to that is unbiased, non-judgmental, and has different perspective, can make even a small change. I want to help you, help yourself, become the person that you want to be. I've had clients tell me that they feel comfortable because I come into session as a person, not a robot.

Most couples don’t come to therapy because they don’t love each other. They come because they keep having the same conversations without resolution. You may feel unheard, misunderstood, or emotionally disconnected—or like no matter how you try to communicate, it turns into conflict or distance. I help couples and families identify and change the patterns that keep them stuck so real repair can happen.
I currently prioritize couples and family therapy services. Individual therapy is limited and may be offered on a waitlist basis. Extended sessions and intensives are also available for those seeking more focused, structured support.

When life starts to feel overwhelming, it can be exhausting to keep pushing through on your own. Many people carry stress quietly, second-guess themselves, and slowly become harder on themselves than they ever would be on someone they love. Therapy can be a place to finally exhale—a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what’s been weighing on you. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, past experiences, relationship challenges, identity questions, or recovery, you don’t have to do it alone. My hope is to offer support that feels steady, respectful, and empowering, while helping you feel grounded.

Therapy isn’t just for crises. Life can often feel complicated, frustrating, or just a little too heavy. I work with individuals (13+), couples, and families in navigating everyday stressors, relationship struggles, life transitions, performance plateaus, and mental/emotional concerns.

I enjoy working with clients who hated their last therapy experience, clients who feel defeated by their relationship with food and their body, and clients who are sick of anxiety ruling their life. I aim to support, challenge, and empower you to determine what your goals are and make meaningful progress toward them. Anyone seeking support to confront their unique difficulties is welcome here. I am well-versed in trauma-informed care and focus on being sensitive to cultural issues and marginalized groups. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I take pride in providing LGBTQ+-affirming care.

Healing happens in spaces where you feel safe, understood, and supported.
I work with adults navigating trauma, mood disorders, and moments of crisis that feel overwhelming or destabilizing. Many of the people I see are struggling with shame, self-criticism, or feeling like they “should” be handling things better than they are. I don’t see people as broken, I see them as people who are overwhelmed, lost, burned out, or carrying pain that hasn’t been fully processed.

Schema Therapy
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy is based on the idea that maladaptive thought patterns formed in childhood—that other people can never be relied on, for example—can interfere with healthy functioning in adulthood. Accordingly, schema therapy works by directly targeting such unhealthy schemas, identifying their consequences, and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking. To this end, schema therapists aim to “reparent” the client by offering what they didn’t get in childhood—validation, for instance, or compassion—to reorient their worldview.
Is schema therapy evidence-based?
Schema therapy is still considered relatively new, and research on its efficacy is still in progress. However, some studies have concluded that it can be effective at treating certain mental health conditions, most notably personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Evidence for its efficacy in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD is promising but less conclusive, and experts warn that much of the existing research is of low quality.
Is schema therapy a type of CBT?
Schema therapy is based on many principles of CBT, most notably the process of recognizing and challenging maladaptive thought patterns. But because schema therapy also draws from other approaches,including psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, it is not considered a form of CBT. It also typically delves deeper into the client’s childhood than does CBT.
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy does not call for a set number of sessions and is instead open-ended, with the treatment timeline depending on the client’s primary concern(s), progress, and preferences. Treatment that lasts between six months and two years is common, though many clients will start to see progress much earlier than that.
