Do you feel alone and unbalanced, like you’re spread thin without relief in sight? Do you feel guilty for not feeling the way you “should”? Have you lost hope?

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I specialize in Women's Health and am social justice oriented. I have experience working with families, veterans, hospice patients and their families, trauma, the houseless population, folks experiencing discrimination, on the behavioral health unit, and the birthing population. I am specialty trained in Perinatal Mental Health. I love working with folks who are feeling at their lowest and accompanying them back to solid ground.

I feel a great honor working with people. I take time to understand you. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client can offer a unique and secure space for potential healing. I view therapy as a collaborative process that can help create meaning of people's lived experiences.

As a growing expert in trauma, mindfulness, and body-mind bridging across the lifespan, I will strive to assist you with your concerns. My approach is light-hearted and evidence informed. I often integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectics, and psychodynamics into my education-based style. We will certainly work on attachment concerns and healthy "relating," too.

I am here for the hard and messy. But I am also here to show you that healing can be a form of magic. That there can be beautiful release and joy and connection through healing our pain and hurt. If you feel like you have tried everything and nothing else is working I am here to try the new and experimental with you. I am here to help you explore different options and to be your number one cheerleader! Together we will learn that through your choices (and you have so many) you can create a different life for yourself.

We can all use a little help sometimes no matter who you are. I use a strengths-based approach when working with people while I provide therapy and consultation to individuals and families who are looking for support and ways to cope. I love to help my clients learn about themselves and their potential for a successful life.

As your therapist, my intention is to create a safe environment for you to be and explore yourself.  Together we'll bring awareness to your thoughts, feelings, emotions, body sensations, values, desires, memories and more, to deeply understand what its like for you to be you. Awareness opens the door for understanding, self-love, and change. To support your therapeutic journey, I use Transpersonal therapy, Gestalt therapy, Somatic-based trauma therapy, Process Work, CBT, dream work, inner child work, and shadow work. I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and affirming letter writing.

I work with adults of all ages and specialize in working with young adults, and those experiencing challenges related to stress, identity, adjustment, and self-esteem. I have expertise in the treatment of depression, anxiety, academic problems, and relationship difficulties. My clients seek a safe space to talk about the emotions and challenges they are experiencing. In particular they want to be listened to, valued and to gain increased understanding about their current and past experiences. Ultimately, clients want to gain clarity about their goals, and feel hopeful, insightful, effective, and confident.

I am interested in helping you understand your needs and how to ask for them. We can explore your complex trauma and work together to find lifelong solutions. My goal is to help you reconnect with your truest self. Let's work to understand your current triggers and where they are rooted in your past. I can help you process and heal intergenerational trauma and complex PTSD. I have a history of working with adults with childhood trauma and those experiencing catastrophic illness, trauma resulting from active duty, military sexual trauma, women's issues, and LGBTQ+.

Reaching out for help is uncomfortable! Coming to therapy takes a lot of courage. The world feels heavy and hard right now. Our relationships are suffering leaving us feeling anxious, lonely, or depressed. You may feel like no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to communicate with your partner or family members. Maybe discussions turn into arguments that never seem to get resolved, leaving you both feeling hurt and alone. Perhaps you or your loved one are dealing with a faith transition and you feel lost and confused. It's hard to love so much and yet feel so distant and disconnected!

I believe you deserve a space that provides warm, genuine support and collaboration as you explore your path of hope, healing and wholeness. I have a deep commitment to meeting you where you are and can offer a trauma informed, client centered, therapeutic approach using EMDR, Internal Family Systems and Compassion Focused Therapy as tools to empower and support you in your wellness journey.

Pain in life is inevitable and can stem from feelings of anxiety, depression, change, loss of a loved one, or being let go from a job. Events like these can invite terrible pain and little time to adapt as needed. Life demands that we keep moving forward. So, on the outside we often look like we “have it together” but on the inside, you feel like you are falling apart. You feel like no one truly understands the hurt you are experiencing. It’s as if everyone wants you to be the person you used to be, move on, suck it up, and pretend like you're fine. Except, you are tired of pretending, tired of waiting.
