Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, communication struggles, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you rediscover your strengths, rebuild confidence, and create more fulfilling connections with yourself and others. I often remind clients of William James’ words: “The greatest weapon we have to combat stress is the ability to choose our thoughts.”

I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, and substance abuse.
In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I incorporate somatic-based techniques, trauma-informed yoga, and equine-assisted trauma therapy to support deeper healing at both the psychological and physiological level. These approaches are especially effective for clients experiencing fight-or-flight activation, emotional dysregulation, and dissociation.

Anxiety can show up in so many ways—racing thoughts, restlessness, irritability, or a sense that you’re always “on.” You may not think of your experiences as trauma, but something in your past or present may still be keeping your nervous system on high alert. As an EMDR-trained trauma therapist, I help adults and teens understand these patterns and learn how to stop that constant hum of anxiety and start living in the present. Whether your anxiety comes from stress, perfectionism, caretaking, trauma, or simply feeling stretched too thin, I tailor therapy to meet you where you are.

My specialties include abuse, sexual assault, and medical and healthcare trauma, and my role is to help you find “aha moments,” flashes of realization that what you already know can change your overall and daily life.
Openings & sliding fee available - Relationships with ourselves, our bodies, and with others may be complex, nuanced, and hard to explain. We may keep parts of us private and avoid invalidation. We may even feel like loving relationships are hard to come by. At times, our minds may be playing familiar tunes: I’m unlovable, I cause problems, I don’t matter, I can’t trust others/myself, or I’m not enough. Even with validation, change may feel elusive. Therapy can lead to hope and sustainable transformation. It can help with changing patterns, boundaries, self-compassion, ending power struggles, trust, and reimagining the future.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
