Trying to hold all the pieces together can feel exhausting. I provide a space where you can set some of that weight down, feel supported, and begin to rebuild, whether that means putting things back together or discovering a new way for the first time.
I’m here to help you sort through what feels overwhelming and to support you in making sense of it at your own pace. I enjoy working with college/young adults, adult women, and couples, and I believe that everyone has the ability to grow into the person they want to be when given a safe, supportive space.

My primary clients are individuals between 2 - 21 years (Adults on a case-by-case basis). I work with children and their families to provide more information about current presenting social, emotional, and/or behavioral concerns through a thorough assessment (i.e., 5+ hours of direct assessment) and/or through counseling. In counseling, I alone cannot change the person once per week or every other week; parents are key to successful treatment by implementing appropriate strategies, support, and structure needed for improvement (i.e., there is work for the adults too!). I can also help with navigating the school system. So, "How can I help?"

I enjoy working with people who feel “stuck”in certain behaviors or situations, like addictions, depression, or obsessive and compulsive behavior - behavior that tends to undermine their sense of worth. I like working with adults and adolescents, couples, and families. People who have issues related to religious beliefs or matters of faith are another area of specialty.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with individuals navigating trauma, substance use, and the messy, complicated parts of being human. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break, overwhelmed by emotions that feel bigger than they understand, or frustrated because previous therapy never quite got to the root of things. You may be functioning well on the outside while privately feeling disconnected, reactive, numb, or unsure why the same struggles keep showing up. I'm warm, but also direct. Therapy with me is a space where you can be fully yourself (no masking required).

Bipolar Disorder Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?
Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.
What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?
Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.
What kinds of problems does therapy help with?
Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.
What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?
Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
