My work is trauma-focused and my skills rest primarily in the evidence-based practices of ACT, CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing.
I believe that everyone has the potential to live the life that they want to live and make the necessary changes to get them there. It is often helpful to have a guiding and caring therapist by your side. I strive to support individuals experiencing depression or anxiety, or those feeling overwhelmed, lacking motivation to change, or struggling with interpersonal difficulties.

Even when we feel lost, there is always a path to a more hopeful future. As your therapist, I can help you find your way forward: Toward your goals, toward self-understanding, and toward peace and satisfaction. I’ve worked with people from many walks of life successfully and focus on helping those who find their lives unmanageable or fundamentally unfulfilling, especially when it involves difficult childhoods or traumatic experiences. I make space in our sessions to give genuine human support, from philosophical soul searching to practical goal setting, with a balance of humility, humor, and psychological insights.

I am taking new clients as of November 2025. I have partnered with a colleague, Frank Bienkowski to create a new practice, True to You Counseling and Coaching. Over my 20+ years in the field of mental health I’ve come to believe most people are seeking to understand their place and purpose in this challenging world. Navigating things like relationships, finances, careers, family, and trying to make the right choices all while having many unexpected events thrown in can be destabilizing. When you feel lost and have more questions than answers, I am here to help you sort through the overwhelm.

You're accomplished and capable but lately, it’s been hard to keep up. Maybe you're navigating anxiety, burnout, or depression while juggling the demands of a full, fast-paced life. Or perhaps, you're sober curious, trying to understand your relationship with alcohol. You want things to change, but you're not sure where to begin. I specialize in helping high-achieving individuals interested in regaining control of their mental health and reconnecting with themselves. Many of my clients are motivated, self-aware, and successful on the outside, and yet feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck inside.

Trauma can affect us in ways we are not always aware of. Healing can help us in ways we never knew were possible. I am an EMDR Approved Consultant and EMDR certified therapist. I provide EMDR intensive therapy (only). EMDR intensives offer a unique and effective approach to therapy which promotes accelerated healing, reduction in mental health symptoms, and improved mental health outcomes. EMDR intensives are structured, research based, and work really well for people who cannot make a weekly commitment to the therapy process.

I am a real human being in session—relatable, personable, and transparent. Rapport is probably my greatest skill, and rapport helps my clients feel they can trust me. I use evidence-based practices inside the therapeutic relationship, and the profundity of the relationship helps these practices stick.

Maybe chronic stress or anxiety have your nervous system stuck on high alert, so that even when life is relatively “fine,” you don't actually feel that way. Past trauma can show up now as hypervigilance, chronic tension, irritability, insomnia, or shutting down. Maybe you're managing, but you're not thriving. Whether it's burnout, depression, relationship patterns, or loops you just can't seem to shake, you want more than just an assortment of coping strategies to get by. You're tired of merely surviving and you're ready to actually feel different.

Therapy is about the journey, not the destination. Together, we will explore identities that are impactful to you, inspect relationships and how they shape you, and discuss your challenges and how we can work through them. You know yourself best, and I will trust your judgement as we walk together through the therapeutic journey. You don’t have to know where to begin. “Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.”

It has been said that, “change is the only constant in life” (Heraclitus). This statement may ring true for you, and it may even have led you here. Change can be exciting, AND it can also be daunting, anxiety-inducing and downright paralyzing at times. We experience many moments of transition and new stages in life, and I’m here to help you navigate these waters. I specialize in working with teens, especially those with perfectionism, young professionals, and new parents. My areas of expertise include childhood and adult trauma, perinatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, grief, and supporting parents of anxious children.
