Life, huh? It's like trying to untangle a box of Christmas lights without losing your sanity. Life can be a roller coaster ride, filled with twists, turns, and loop-de-loops. Anxiety can be overwhelming, depression can feel like a heavy weight on your shoulders, and trauma can have long-lasting effects. Or maybe you struggle with health relationships, substance use, anger management, impulse control, or feel like a mischievous gremlin lives inside you controlling your life. Here's the good news - you don't have to face these challenges alone. I firmly believe in the power of a collaborative, non-judgmental approach.

I help adults move through anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and life transitions, with an affirming space for neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ clients. Many of the people I work with are in a lot of pain but they "look fine". They feel the weight of the world on their shoulders and they are exhausted from carrying it alone. Pain is a part of life but you don't have to face it by yourself. Therapy can help relieve some of the mental weight you have been shouldering and help you feel more like yourself again.
My approach is trauma informed so I focus on helping you feel safe and supported.

My ideal client may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, trauma, or relationship stress. They may be survivors of emotional or physical abuse, navigating life transitions, or struggling to balance caregiving, parenting, or school pressures.

You can bring ALL of who you are to our work together, and you've come to the right place!

Life has a way of shifting beneath our feet sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, heartbroken, or confused about how to move forward. Is anxiety running the show? Does grief feel heavier than you expected? Or do you feel left trying to make sense of everything? Whatever brought you here, your experience matters.
I work collaboratively with clients to better understand themselves, build resilience, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. Therapy is a space where you can feel heard, reconnect with your strengths, explore patterns, shift unhelpful perspectives and grow.

You feel disconnected from yourself and others. Relaxation seems like a distant fever dream and you’d rather eat glass than spend a minute being still in your body. Reframing negative thoughts, counting to ten, and downloading countless meditation apps haven’t helped your feelings of isolation and distress.
Sometimes, talk therapy alone isn’t enough. I help my clients regulate their nervous systems and feel a sense of relief through trauma-informed body-based approaches. I use EMDR, somatic experiencing, and gentle movement to help clients reconnect with their bodies and heal from their heaviest burdens.
