Life is full of changes. While any change can be trying and stressful, some are harder on us than others. The death of a loved one, a traumatic health event, diagnosis of a chronic disease, ending of a relationship, these can be especially challenging and really rock our sense of safety and well-being. These changes can lead us to feeling lost, anxious, sad, angry, or just plain "stuck".

When life feels overwhelming, your day to day stressors add up, or past experiences cause you difficulties, choosing to seek therapy can be a pivotal step towards feeling like yourself again. I work collaboratively with clients to help them chart a path forward that feels healthy and acknowledges the impact of all of life’s experiences.

Together, we will create a space where you feel safe enough to put down your walls and explore what is working in your life, what is not, and how to get you to where you want to be.

As an Art Therapist, I have the ability to bring artmaking into the therapy session and to help facilitate the healing process.

Currently accepting clients with daytime availability. It is my professional and personal belief that individuals do not heal in an environment of shame and guilt. For this reason, I strive to create a non-judgmental atmosphere where clients feel safe to discuss their issues in an open and productive way. My specialty areas are substance use disorders (addictions) and trauma. Frequently, guilt and shame are associated with addictive behaviors as well as being a survivor of trauma. My goal is to help clients and their families understand their issues and work toward a better life.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who have experienced trauma as well as concerns related to depression, loss and grief , and anxiety. As a clinician, I hold safety as a non-negotiable imperative for the therapy space to be productive. I also encourage my clients to use the safe therapy space to lean into the discomfort required to make the changes that they wish to see in their lives.
