Life changes, stress, and past experiences can leave you feeling stuck or unsure where to turn. I work with clients ages 11 and older, meeting with individuals, couples, and families around anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, process addictions, and major life transitions, as well as self-esteem and body image concerns. My experience in college counseling, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization allows me to support people in crisis and in longer-term work and offer steady, practical support.

Life and living is stressful. I am passionate about helping people recover, and settle, from the impact of life. I support clients who are struggling, and often suffering from the various manifestations of early Developmental Trauma, Complex Trauma, and PTSD. In my practice, I work closely with those suffering from symptoms of Personality Disorders, Dissociative Identity Disorder, ADHD, Spectrum and Sensitivities, Anxiety, Impulsivity, Mood Disorders, Intimacy and Attachment Issues, along with a host of physical symptoms, emotions, behaviors and “addictions” that clients present in an attempt to regulate the nervous system.

Since 2018, I have utilized person-centered and strength-based practices to promote the "Power of Self." These practices empower individuals to direct their therapeutic process. Establishing a safe zone and welcoming client feedback allows methods that are proven to be effective in managing difficulties, promoting personal growth, and accomplishing personal goals. I also provide therapy services to individuals exploring their sexuality; sexually fluent; and those that are experiencing a decrease or increase in sexual functioning.

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. When you give yourself the gift of therapy, you give yourself the best chance at a fulfilling life. I work with adults of all ages who find themselves struggling with depression, anxiety, anger management, trauma, relationship conflicts, grief, as well as a plethora of other curve balls life will throw at someone at any given time. I help my clients connect the dots between what they are going through now and how it came to be through psychoanalysis then targeting what actions they need to take in the present moment to empower them with agency to manage their current reality.

Trauma hurts. It can be sudden, life-altering and overwhelming, or chronic, subtle and nearly unnoticeable, but either way it can change the way we think about others, the world, and unfortunately, ourselves. Dealing with the aftermath—changes in our relationships, lashing out toward self or others, feeling nothing and/or everything all at once—is sometimes as hard as the initial event, especially when society, friends and family and our own minds tell us to “just get over it.” Worse, sometimes we aren’t even sure where the trauma came from in the first place, leaving us confused and even feeling hopeless.

I specialize in relational work, with an emphasis in affair recovery. I create a supportive space where both partners can feel heard while also helping them address the patterns that keep them stuck. Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, I help couples understand the deeper emotions and needs that drive conflict, disconnection, and communication difficulties. Together, we identify negative relationship cycles, explore the underlying emotions beneath conflict, and develop new ways of responding to one another.

Online Sessions Only...Yep, life sure can feel heavy sometimes! Does it seem as though you are in a constant wrestling- match with your feelings, or battling an emotional tug-of-war? Are the daily pressures weighing you down, leaving you discouraged, exhausted or hopeless? Maybe you are fighting to control your racing thoughts & restless energy. Struggling to contain or manage your frustration, disappointment, anger, fear or sadness can feel impossible, even pointless, at times. The stress of it all might even be causing you to disconnect or isolate from those you love in order to shield them from what you are going through.
