Do you feel disconnected from your partner or stuck in the same arguments? Do you find your relationship slipping to the back burner, or feel unsure how to move forward together? Maybe you’ve caught yourself wondering, shouldn’t this feel more secure, more connected… or just easier?
Many couples feel overwhelmed when it comes to navigating communication, trust, and intimacy. Over time, stress, life transitions, or unresolved conflict can create distance and leave both partners feeling unheard or alone. When this disconnection goes unaddressed, it can impact not only your relationship, but your overall well-being.

I believe that therapy involves a collaboration between the client/s and the therapist. If a client is not part of the decisions, the ideas, the relationship, and the motivation, achieving the desired change is much more difficult. I understand that being in a relationship of any kind can be difficult and I believe that everyone needs help navigating the obstacles that we are bound to encounter in love, family, friends & life. I love being a part of that process. My role as a therapist is to collaborate with, empathize with, support, understand, and encourage my clients. I do this through face to face as well as tele/video therapy.

The ideal client is a one who participates in therapy with a strong desire to learn and create personal, and interpersonal growth. One that shows courage in reaching out for help, and acknowledging their imperfections as true strengths. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, relational challenges, interpersonal challenges, grief and loss, anger, substance use/abuse, or simply wishing to understand their own process better. Therapy is a process which must enlist mutual trust and respect of the client, and therapist, in order to create a refreshed perspective to heal old wounds and patterns.

As an integrative trauma therapist with a nervous system focus, I have specialized training to create a safe experience for clients as we work through even the most activating subject matter. The clients I work with tend to be folks healing from trauma or the longterm effects of chronic stress. Many of my clients are empaths coping with burnout, other healthcare providers, adult children of emotionally immature parents, or survivors of abuse/neglect. Through years of experience with these groups, I have honed my approach as a integrative somatic trauma therapist. If you feel like you've hit a wall with traditional therapy - welcome.

I would be delighted to explore with you whatever brings you to therapy at this time in your life. If you are struggling with a life transition, stress, chronic illness, depression or anxiety, we can work together with curiosity and compassion to help you learn to tolerate difficult emotions and situations while also helping you reconnect to your own vitality. If you are feeling stuck and unsure how the future will unfold, I would be honored to help you learn to embrace uncertainty while creating a meaningful, authentic life.

Thank you for considering me to be a part of your mental health journey. Reaching out for help as an individual or a parent can be anxiety provoking and it is my goal to be as transparent about therapy and mental health treatment as possible to ensure you feel comfortable with choosing me to be your therapist. I have experience working with adults and teens who experience suicidal ideation and self-harm, impulsive behavior, mood swings, anger outbursts, depressive episodes, and anxiety symptoms. I'm trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and various parenting interventions. I am also a certified Sandtray Therapy provider.

Hi there and welcome! Reaching out is one of the hardest steps, but I truly believe everyone can benefit from therapy. We all face tough situations, and talking through those situations with someone who can offer support in a non-judgmental, unbiased way can be extremely helpful. Since multiple factors affect how people respond to different experiences, it is essential that your treatment plan be individualized for your specific situation. Regardless of what brings you into therapy, I strive to offer these individualized plans by pulling from various therapy modalities while including you every step the way.

What would life be like if you felt more confident, calm, focused, and present? What if you could approach situations with curiosity and optimism instead of fear or self-doubt?
If you are someone who struggles with anxiety, depression, has a loud inner critic, or knows that something (but aren't sure what) is blocking your potential in some or all areas of their lives I may be a good fit. I can help you to gain clarity into what you want, identify the things that get in your way, and guide you in finding ways of working towards your goals.

What is keeping you from going after the life you truly want? Most of my clients' lives are circumstantially difficult. If you live with medical uncertainty as a patient or caregiver, for example, it can be hard to feel safe or confident you will get what you need. If your childhood did not teach you much about feeling safe or self-reliant, figuring that out as an adult isn’t especially intuitive. Therapy is a great place to address issues that feel irrational or to regroup when you feel stuck for whatever reason. Even when life is hard, you still get to do your life your way. Feel your feelings and act from a position of strength.

I support children, teens, and young adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain about their emotions. Many of the individuals I work with face intense feelings, life transitions, relationship challenges, or a sense of being misunderstood at home or school. I also work with clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures as they navigate new environments and explore their identities.
During our sessions, we build a safe and welcoming space together. My clients discover new insights and learn practical ways to feel more grounded, confident, and empowered.

Although everyone who begins therapy hopes for a more satisfying life, people bring a variety of concerns to their first sessions. In your sessions with me, the emphasis will be on you. You'll find a comfortable place to explore your concerns and dreams and determine how to improve your experiences and relationships. I'll honor who you are--your cultural background, life choices, sexual orientation, and age. I'll offer support and feedback as you work through current and past issues and rediscover strengths that will help you move forward in a positive direction.

Being a human is exhausting, especially when you’re navigating relationships, work stress, trauma, parenting, infertility, perinatal challenges or simply existing within systems like capitalism and patriarchy. I work with adults, teens and LGBTQIA+ folks who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out or disconnected from themselves and their lives. Many are carrying grief or emotional exhaustion and want therapy that feels validating and supportive. They’re seeking space to slow down, feel seen and make sense of their experiences in a way that honors their identity, values and lived reality.

Living can often land you on a different course than the one you expected. There are moments in life when you feel lost and unsure where you took a wrong turn. Maybe you’ve been feeling down or worried but are hesitant to bring it up to family and friends out of fear of burdening them. In these moments, it's important to have a space where you are safe to be yourself, a place to remind you that where you are at is not who you are.

Anxiety protects you from harm and motivates you to succeed. Anxiety is problematic, however, when it becomes out of proportion to the situation and interferes with your life. Often the strategies you use to cope with your anxiety--such as avoidance--make it worse. The treatment that we provide is geared toward interrupting this vicious cycle by helping you gradually face your fears and build your confidence in a collaborative and supportive environment. We utilize a flexible cognitive-behavioral approach which incorporates mindfulness, cognitive techniques, and exposure-based interventions.
