Waitlist for new clients
You are the author of your story—don’t let anyone else hold the pen. Anxiety, grief, trauma, and life’s unexpected challenges can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and emotionally exhausted. It’s easy to look like you have it all together on the outside while quietly feeling overwhelmed, overthinking, or carrying things you haven’t fully processed. Therapy is an investment in yourself—one that can help you make sense of what you’re going through and begin to feel more grounded, clear, and like yourself again, while building practical skills that support lasting change.

Hi! I’m Sommer. I'm a licensed professional counselor who specializes in working with adults struggling with OCD, anxiety, depression, phobias, and more. I offer a nonjudgmental perspective and allow you to take the time to assess your well-being. I attempt to help you implement gradual change as opposed to trying to change everything at once. You can expect a warm and empathetic approach that allows you to share at your own pace. I am passionate about this work because I believe everyone deserves the chance to build the life they desire.

Are relationship dynamics, family tension, or the patterns you keep repeating leaving you feeling stuck and disconnected from who you truly are? Whether the struggle is personal, between partners, or felt across the whole family, it rarely exists in isolation — and neither should the solution. You don't have to untangle it alone, and you don't have to choose between getting help as an individual or getting help together. In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in couples and family therapy, helping you gain deeper insight into your patterns and become more of who you truly are.

Are you caught in a cycle of anxious thoughts, avoidance, and the quiet dread that things will never change? Whether you're managing OCD, social anxiety, or the kind of persistent worry that follows you everywhere, you deserve more than white-knuckling through another day. You don't need to have it all figured out to start — you just need to be willing. I'll meet you exactly where you are, with warmth, a clear game plan, and the occasional laugh along the way.

Are you caught between emotional pain and substance use, feeling like one keeps feeding the other with no clear way out? Whether you're navigating addiction, mood challenges, or the complicated place where both meet, you deserve care that sees the whole picture — not just one piece of it. Recovery isn't only about stopping something. It's about building a life that makes stopping possible.

Are emotional highs and lows leaving you drained, disconnected, or at odds with the people you care about most? Whether you're navigating mood swings, negative self-talk, disrupted sleep, or relationship strain, sometimes all it takes is one honest outside perspective to start making sense of it. You don't have to carry this alone — and you don't have to have it all figured out before you reach out.

Taking the first step toward therapy is already an act of courage — and you already have more strength than you may realize. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or a life transition that's left you feeling unmoored, you deserve a space where that strength is seen, reflected back, and built upon. You are the expert of your own story. I'm here to help you hear it more clearly. During our work together, you'll be treated holistically — encompassing your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

It can happen to anyone. Life is going along just fine, and then before you realize what happened, you find yourself in a tough situation you never expected. Coping with it has been far from easy, to say the least. You're not alone! If it's a traumatic event, if it's ongoing circumstances that impact your mood and overall functioning, perhaps I can help. I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, as well as Solutions-Focused Therapy. I use a holistic approach; considering the whole person in their environment.

Do you feel as though you will never have a healthy relationship: with your family? with your significant other? with yourself? with food? Do you struggle to love and appreciate the person staring back at you in the mirror? Do you feel stuck in habits that result in self-sabotage and feelings of shame? Do you feel unworthy or undeserving of stability or contentment, so you turn to unhealthy eating patterns, toxic relationships, or substances? Maybe the trauma you have experienced has not been managed effectively and you don't have the tools to heal and feel relief.

Are you carrying the weight of trauma, grief, or a mental health diagnosis that has made it hard to feel stable, safe, or like yourself? Whether you're an adult navigating PTSD and emotional upheaval or a parent watching your child struggle with behavioral challenges, the path to clarity can feel impossibly far away.

I hold a BSW from UH-Downtown and an MSW from UH-GCSW, where I was a Trauma Fellow and GLOBE Youth Behavioral Health Fellow. I became a therapist because I love helping people and find joy in seeing change and growth in those who are struggling. I’ve aimed to bring a relaxed, supportive, and open approach to therapy. I believe healing happens best when therapy is guest-centered and guest-led—we’re a team, and I’m here to walk alongside you. I am LGPTQ+ally. I believe everyone deserves a change to change. I also am visually impaired.

I work with motivated women who feel that perfectionism, anxiety and/or pressure are constant companions. Perhaps you worry that you aren’t doing enough at home for your children, you don’t have enough time to put into your relationships or you can’t meet your own expectations at work. Balancing the roles that you play, while feeling fulfilled and content can be difficult to manage without frustration or burnout. The women I work with often put themselves second to other relationships and priorities and struggle to communicate and maintain boundaries.
