I believe that asking for help, and taking the first step with a new therapist is often the hardest part of the therapeutic process. I feel that there is not a one size fits all approach to therapy. We are all very different, we have varying life experiences and most of all we do not all process or feel things in the same way. I will help you identify your goals and objectives, and we will work towards them together. How we feel now is often temporary and does not have to be that way forever.

I have experience working with teens, couples, families, and individuals.
I approach counseling with the conviction that each person was created to thrive in life and relationships. Everyone encounters problems, pain, loss and many other challenges, but these do not need to determine one's identity or future. My therapeutic approach addresses the client's mind, emotions, spirit, and body, creating a holistic approach to healing and growth. I am EMDR Basic Trained and TBRI Trained, and I have a certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies. I work to create a safe atmosphere for clients to share openly and move towards their goals.

You served, and now you’re fucked. You spend your nights worrying about whether or not you did the right thing, about whether you’re failing your family, about how you and your spouse don’t connect anymore. You would have done this, and you should have done that, and oh shit what did I do, and those things haunt you at night. You’ve tried everything to get it done on your own because, hey, they trained us to be independent and strong, right? But you don’t feel strong anymore. And you don’t feel comfortable talking to anyone. A: you don’t want to relive it, and B: you’re not all share-y and interested in talking out your garbage.

Sometimes life just becomes overwhelming. We find ourselves in need of a safe place to put all the things that are swarming around in our minds. We could use a soft place to land. A place to just say it without being judged. A place where no one is keeping record of wrong or right.

I am a psychologist in practice at The Center for Integrative Counseling and Psychology. And I believe in mutuality. I believe that all persons deserve it in relationships, even when things feel too complicated. So I naturally prioritize a collaborative, exploratory, and enlightening relationship for healing - both in psychotherapy and in evaluation. When I work with any age or circumstance, the work seeks to understand words, thoughts, behaviors, and meanings. Because these all can lend themselves towards strengths or difficulties.

My purpose is to guide and facilitate my clients toward an empowered, spiritually connected, and self-directed life. Individuals who are discouraged by, and feel powerless over their impulsivity and compulsions, battle against their own behaviors, emotions, and thoughts, and who have lost their connection to living in joy, are those I feel compassionately called to serve.

Over the past century, the landscape of psychoanalysis has undergone profound transformations. Since the era of Freud, the field has embraced innovation, birthing a myriad of analytic approaches that refine and expand upon classical psychoanalytic principles. Among these, modern psychoanalysis stands out as a pivotal evolution, offering a gentler, more adaptable approach to understanding and treating the complexities of the human psyche. My training is grounded in a range of psychoanalytic principles, with unique specialization and certification in modern psychoanalysis.

You’re doing everything “right,” but it still feels like you're drowning. Maybe you’re the rock in the storm—the achiever, the peacekeeper, the one holding it all together for everyone else. But underneath that, you're fighting to stay afloat because it's easier to be there for everyone else than focus on what's going on for you internally. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, wading through complex trauma, wrangling ADHD, or just trying to get to know yourself better, I offer a space where you can pause, breathe, and be seen.

Hello! I approach therapy through a humanistic lens, viewing my clients as the experts of their own lives.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
