Life gets more complicated every year for young adults, and it can feel impossible to cope with daily demands. Work, school, relationships, feeding yourself, family, self-care—it can all become hard to juggle. I can help you manage the chaos and create calm. I specialize in working with young adults who are in life transitions. It’s common for college students to struggle with disordered eating, anxiety, depression, identity crises, and academic stress. Often times, perfectionism and our inner critic make things worse, deepening depression, ramping up anxiety, and complicating relationships with food. Can you relate?

I'm passionate about empowering my clients to heal what's holding them back and step into the fullest expression of themselves. Whatever the internal or external challenge is that's getting in your way— I believe you have the power to change your future and your whole family tree by putting an end to intergenerational pain and destructive patterns. The process of personal growth (especially with support) can actually rewire your brain to shift more quickly from automatic negative thoughts to a mindset that’s more supportive of your wellbeing in every way— mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

In my work, I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, non-judgmental space for personal growth and healing, where your full authentic self is welcomed. I believe that one of the most important parts of healing in therapy is developing a compassionate therapeutic relationship, built upon respect, trust, curiosity, and thoughtfulness. I work primarily with teens and adults who may be struggling with life transitions, anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and more.

I believe therapy works best and is most successful when there is a willingness to risk being vulnerable with a safe other. If you are someone who is motivated to learn more about themselves and take active steps to change this might be the right fit for you. My focus area and experience is working with women and both premarital and established couples. I offer deeper internal work through both IFS and Brainspotting. The client who will benefit best from the way I do therapy are those who are naturally self-reflective and those who find value in metaphor and symbolic language.

I love working with clients who have a readiness to gain greater self awareness, and those who have a deep desire to know and accept themselves. I have a heart for working with individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community, as a member of the community myself, and deeply value the healing power of trauma work. I also love working with individuals who might benefit from a more experiential approach. I find so much value in the power of creative activities that help engage the client in effective and meaningful ways.

I’m glad you’re here, I’m JD (she/her)! In my experience, relationships are a place where we can find some of our deepest wounding, but they are also a place where we can begin to heal, starting with the relationship with our Self. Sometimes, as humans, we can feel stuck or lost. If we can slow down and explore the different parts of ourselves with compassion and curiosity, it can help us uncover, get to know, and grow in ways we never thought possible. I'm passionate about helping people heal and grow into the people they want to be and I'd be honored to get to witness and walk along you as you explore and grow in who you are.

Trauma disconnects us from our authenticity, reconnecting to our true selves can feel impossible if we've experienced complex trauma. I am passionate about building relationships with clients where they feel seen, heard, and valued. I enjoy helping clients reconnect and honor all parts of themselves, establish effective boundaries, navigate gender and sexuality as a spectrum, and explore non-traditional relationship structures, like polyamory or non-monogamy. I utilize a client-centered, gender affirming, and sex and kink positive approach to therapy and honor each client's individual lived experience.

My ideal client is an adolescent or young adult who is struggling and needs a safe space where they can be heard and explore their own identity, thoughts, and feelings. The clients can be searching for someone who will accept them unconditionally and be able to hold space for them, and I would love to be that person for you.

You feel like a fraud as a professional, looking like you have it together but really it feels like it’s all falling apart. You’re a rockstar at everything you teach others, a high achiever, successful in your field. But, if others were to see what was really happening behind closed doors, they would see your struggle to put your own words into action. You give to others, draining yourself until you have nothing left to give. Self-care is a great theory if you could only find the time. You know there’s another way but you’re not quite sure how to get there on your own. You know therapy would help but it’s difficult to make it fit.

The clients that have had the most success in my counseling and coaching have three traits: 1) Life is not going how they wish it would. 2) They are tired of that feeling. 3) They are motivated to change their life to begin the journey towards their dreams. If you are struggling and are not sure where to turn next, let me help you reassess and reposition your life for the success and dreams you want.

I work with kids, adolescents, and adults who feel stuck; they are experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and disordered eating. Many have carried the weight of traumatic experiences for as long as they can remember. Many feel that they spend excess time worrying about food and their bodies and find it hard to engage fully in their lives. They continue to feel out of control of their relationships, their bodies, and their emotions. They feel numb and isolated on the surface, and deep down feel hurt and helpless.

I am no different than you. I too have grieved and felt lost and struggled at times. I too have sought compassionate presence when I needed it most. And that's what gives me the ability to connect with my clients. I truly believe that we are all in this together. There are many helpful treatment approaches which I and other therapists utilize, but ultimately I have seen healing and growth take place in the context of therapeutic relationship and presence. That is what I am committed to bringing to those I serve.

Choosing a psychotherapist is a very important decision. Talking to someone new about yourself can be intimidating. I provide a setting that is comfortable, safe, and completely confidential. I ask what brings you to see me and what kind of help you feel you need. Sometimes it can be helpful to interview other professionals. Finding a good match is essential and my interest is always in what is best for the client. I do my best to make treatment recommendations and provide services most likely to help you.

Each of us navigates our unique set of experiences. Some carry deep-rooted trauma, while others grapple with the everyday complexities of 'normal' life. At times, we might downplay our struggles, thinking that someone out there has it worse than we do. It's a common sentiment, and if you've ever felt this way, you're not alone.
