I use a trauma focused lens.
I believe most of what people need, lie deep inside of themselves. However, it gets so scattered and splattered we have a hard time connecting the dots! Through a collaborative effort, I am here to help guide you in connecting the dots. And when need be, help bridge the gaps with resources and education to support your mental health goals. Often, people know what they "should" do, but don't or even can't. Together we will find solutions to get out of your own way- for a healthier and happier life.

Being a teen or young adult today comes with a unique set of social, academic, and internal demands that can feel stressful and overwhelming. For parents, it can be equally challenging to see your child struggle and not know how to best help. These shared difficulties are what I focus on in my work with adolescents, young adults, and families. Together, we navigate anxiety, depression, identity development, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and the complexities of peer and family relationships. My hope is to support you through these trying yet transformative times, helping you discover a path toward greater fulfillment.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by painful past experiences, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful individuals navigating trauma, relationship challenges, ADHD, or self-doubt while trying to hold everything together on the outside. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and it also takes courage. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as we explore what’s been weighing on you and begin making sense of your experiences.

Accepting New Client- Our brains are pre-programmed to try almost anything to maximize our chances of getting our needs met. Sometimes, our brain tries to meet these needs for safety, peace, and connection in ways that don’t seem to work like they used to. If something feels slightly out of sync - I want to hear about it. If the wheels have come off completely, and everything feels like chaos - I want to hear about it. You deserve support and expertise as you let go of the things that used to work and open up to new solutions and perspectives. Whether this is exhilarating or terrifying, just know you don't have to do this alone.

As a trauma therapist, I specialize in working with adults who suffer from the symptoms of traumatic stress or post traumatic stress disorder. The symptoms of trauma often include, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, nightmares and flashbacks, lack of concentration, ADD, binge eating and negative body image. All of these symptoms may be a result of unprocessed trauma that has become stuck in the mind and the body. There is a tremendous amount of promise in mental health healing available through trauma treatment.

I specialize in working with those weighed down by persistent stress. I view "stuck" patterns not as flaws, but as survival strategies that have outlived their usefulness. These can be hard to change especially when you’ve come to believe unhelpful labels, like being lazy, stubborn, or sensitive. I work with people tired of these narratives and wanting change.

Email is best, not calls! I work most often with anxiety, trauma, depression, interpersonal relationships, life changes, work-related stress, and chronic pain. I take a very practical approach to helping you find peace and healing with your struggles. This is a safe, non-judgmental place to receive validation, support, feedback, and proactive help. Email is best to reach me, not phone, as phone calls disturb sessions and I don't have office staff to help me respond in a timely fashion.

My goal is to provide a warm, safe, accepting environment for individuals and families to grow and rebuild hope for the future. I believe that each individual has their own unique strengths and I tailor therapeutic services to build upon these gifts and differences. I find several factors contribute to life challenges and stress including family history, social situations and internal thoughts and emotions. As a therapist, my goal is to help you identify these factors and find the tools that work for you. I really enjoy working with children and adults with ADHD.
