I often work with teens and young adults who are dealing with things like eating disorders, body image struggles, anxiety, mood challenges, relationship stress, or big life transitions. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to break old patterns, and are looking for guidance and support in a space that feels warm and understanding. In our work together, we’ll take time to explore what’s been coming up for them, make sense of patterns, and support healing in a way that feels doable and compassionate.

I mostly work within the frameworks of EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness.
I align with a non-pathologizing approach to therapy. This means that I view “symptoms” as traits or behaviors that our minds and bodies have adopted to protect us from further harm.
During traumatic experiences, often parts of ourself dissociate the mind from the body as a form of protection. While this helps us to survive in the moment, dissociation can happen long after the trauma has ended, keeping us out of the present moment, activating feelings from the past.

Are you feeling lost or overwhelmed after leaving a high-control religious environment? Maybe your relationships feel strained, or you’re questioning everything you once believed about the world, yourself, and your place in it. You’re not alone. Many people, including LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies, experience spiritual trauma or deconstruction that can lead to anxiety, depression, and isolation. My clients often feel they can’t be their true selves. They’ve been stuck in people-pleasing patterns, afraid of the consequences of speaking up, setting boundaries, or simply existing as they are. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

What if the patterns that frustrate you—like overthinking, people-pleasing, avoidance, or self-sabotage—are actually unprocessed pain and trauma longing to be seen and healed? When you're ready to break free from what’s holding you back and reconnect with your authentic self, I’m here to help.
If you often feel overwhelmed, foggy, or exhausted, the truth is—those feelings aren’t who you are. They’re responses to not having enough space to fully be yourself. The patterns that once helped you survive—staying small, keeping the peace, being “good”—may no longer serve you. Together, we can make your true self take up the space.

So, whether you are a single adult, a couple, a family, or a single teen, I am always cognizant that what you likely need the most is a non-judgmental, warm, and listening ear.
As a therapist specializing in teens, I've found the most impactful thing I can be is a non-judgmental, encouraging, and authentic voice. Teens need validation and a warm and caring adult who will work to understand the difficulties they experience. In my time providing these services, I've realized that we never grow out of needing these qualities. In other words, my work with teens has guided me to approach my work with adults in a more holistic and compassionate fashion.
