I believe we are desperate to be both known and loved completely. Most of our experience, however, tells us this is impossible. How could anyone who truly knows me still love me? What kind of love am I really experiencing if they love me but don't know the truth about me? I believe our stories take shape in how we try (and often fail) to reconcile this seeming paradox.

I love working with clients who are curious to see what life looks like on the other side of "stuck." Trauma, depression, anxiety, and so many other things that bring us to therapy, often feel so overwhelming and insurmountable, we don't know what to do or where to start. If you're feeling "stuck," you're not alone. I’ve found that the parts of ourselves we most want to keep hidden are the parts that need to be seen and loved before we can begin to heal. You can do the messy and hard work of giving yourself permission to be seen and loved.

You want more—more connection, more clarity, more meaning. Somewhere along the way, life taught you to survive- by disconnecting, overthinking, shrinking, pleasing, controlling, or numbing. These patterns may have protected you, but now they’re keeping you stuck: stuck in unfulfilling relationships, in anxiety that won’t quiet, in a constant feeling that something is missing, even if everything “looks fine” on the outside. Whether you're navigating a relationship that feels off, starting over after a major change, or just trying to understand why life feels heavy or unfulfilling, you're not alone.

It is my honor to work with clients on paths of exploration, personal growth, and healing. Because of the pain that often brings us to therapy, I believe that safety, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity are of the utmost importance in the therapeutic relationship. My theoretical orientation in counseling is primarily psychodynamic and interpersonal within a humanistic framework. I believe that past experiences inform current understanding, and exploring such issues can be healing. Change can also be related to a new understanding of relational patterns and a new experience of relationship with the therapist and others.

If you are someone who feels like you have lost parts of yourself along the way, you’re in the right place. Maybe a relationship, career, motherhood, or another big life change has left you questioning who you are now or where you go from here. Maybe from the outside things seem okay, but internally you feel disconnected from yourself. My passion is helping clients reconnect with their identity and recognize the strengths they already carry. A lot of my work is strengths based, while also exploring the experiences and patterns that have shaped who you are today.

Anxious in love? Do you overthink, constantly wonder, "what if?" and worry that the next disagreement will end it all? Does this leave you feeling like you're "too much"? I would be honored to help you (or you and your partner) reconnect with yourselves and each other, build secure love, confidence, and self-compassion. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most researched approaches for couples therapy with 30+ years of empirical support. I may be biased but I think it is the greatest model for couples work. Red Therapy Group is an EFT practice that prioritizes continued learning and EFT-specific supervision.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and deeply caring—but inside, they feel anxious in relationships, overly responsible for others, or unsure how to trust their own needs. You may find yourself overthinking interactions, feeling stuck in familiar relational patterns, or carrying shame that’s hard to explain.

My work includes anxiety, depression, dating challenges, infidelity & affair recovery, high-conflict dynamics, divorce/break-up support, neurodiversity, trauma, LGBTQIA+ identities, purity-culture harm, substance use, sex therapy, and more.
I offer a safe and supportive space to deconstruct inherited ideas while making room for anger, grief, longing, and desire — feelings that are often difficult to name, let alone share.

Poet Geoffrey Chaucer wrote, "time heals all wounds." You're probably searching this site because you have discovered this is not the full truth. The path to healing requires focusing some time and attention on the wounds you carry. Woundedness is the soul's voice demanding to be attended to rather than quieted. The therapeutic relationship is a conduit through which you discover your innate ability to attend to your soul and ultimately find healing.

When you cut a tree down and look at the growth rings added every year, you can see the way fire, water, wind, and people have impacted its life each year. I believe that people are no different. Our environment shapes us, and nevertheless we grow. Some years are harder than others, but even within the hard years, growth takes place.
