Making the choice to begin your therapeutic journey can be a difficult one. I consider it a privilege to share in that journey with you. With a compassionate, client-centered approach, I am committed to creating a supportive environment where you can explore, grow, and thrive. I specialize in working with children and young adults (ages 3 to 21) navigate the unique challenges that they might be facing, with the goal to provide a safe space for young minds to express themselves, develop coping skills, and build resilience.

Humans have an innate and unique gift of being able to observe a broad range of emotions and experiences. Sometimes these emotions and experiences are not always favorable. I am here to walk alongside you through your journey towards contentment once again. With my relaxed and at times playful personality, I strive to create a safe, comfortable space where you can lean into discomfort and hardships in life. I work with adult clients of all ages who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, or struggles with interpersonal relationships. These issues may or may not be related to historical adverse experiences.

Traumatic stress is unfortunately very common in our society, and it affects a person's mood, beliefs, and body in numerous ways. We specialize in helping people heal from trauma, whether it’s from a single major life event (such as a car accident or sexual assault) or ongoing hardship (for instance, growing up in a chaotic home environment or repeatedly having their feelings invalidated). Each of our therapists are warm and accepting, and work collaboratively with each person. Our goal is to help people move beyond merely reducing symptoms, and towards making their lives more meaningful and fulfilling.

I support individuals and all consensual relationships, who are struggling with anxiety, depression, the impact of trauma, and any relational concerns to create a meaningful way of being. I hope to work with you to question the expectations placed on you by society to enhance your lived experience. My work with you is person-centered, in that your goals and experiences are essential to our process. I believe deeply that I am guiding, witnessing, and holding space for you to grow. I am an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and am Kink, BDSM, and Poly aware. All your expressions and relationship structures are welcome.

My practice focuses on individuals and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance abuse. I have worked with individuals and their loved ones to explore what it means to live fully authentically in a world where that is not always valued.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Feeling frustrated and shut down? Do you want to make a change but you don't know how? No doubt, life can feel unfair, overwhelming, and unmanageable. Sometimes it seems as though nothing is working, and you have tried just about everything. You are not alone. We all experience these roadblocks in our relationships, and within ourselves. You want to know that someone will understand what you are going through and can help you.

Over thirty years of experience partnering with clients of all ages, from a wide variety of backgrounds, has confirmed for me each person has within themselves the resources and ability to become the person they wish to be and to improve their satisfaction in life. As a therapist I partner with each client helping them to identify patterns of thought and behavior that are no longer effective and guide them in discovering new, more rewarding ways of relating and connecting with others. I work collaboratively with clients to solve problems, connect with strengths, and reach their personal and professional goals.
