Specializing in athletes, youth with disabilities, and high risk populations, I support clients across all life stages through trauma informed and culturally responsive therapy. With a strong background in child welfare and special education I utilize a collaborative approach which supports youth and families in breaking patterns that no longer serve them to build stability and resilience.

Seeking therapy can often be a difficult decision and can create anxiety and ambiguity about what the process may entail. As a clinician, I function from the foundation for a positive experience in therapy which first begins with establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. Doing so, can encourage positive growth towards goals. Therapy is facilitated with transparency about what to expect from the process and goals are formulated collaboratively. Interventions are recommended based on individual's goals and needs. Effective and open communication is encouraged about therapeutic process and progress on goals.

Welcome to a space where you are seen, heard, and valued. I work with women who are experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and issues related to relationships, friendships, career, life transitions, self esteem, perfectionism, burn out, people pleasing, and personal growth. Are you finding yourself struggling to manage your emotions lately? Are you feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you? If you find yourself self-sacrificing, feeling overwhelmed by the multiple roles you juggle, or just seeking to unpack some things, it might be time to consider therapy. Taking this first step is an act of self-love.

In June 2023, I completed a 2-year certificate program in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and technique at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis (ICP&P).
I will work with you to increase insight into your struggles, actively identify and work toward goals, and build resilience against stress. I specialize in relationships (straight and gay), LGBT concerns, couples, anxiety and depression, and life transitions and losses. Building insight involves examining ways one's past impacts the present. I believe that this coupled with making concrete changes in one's life leads to a successful therapy. I am an active psychologist who will help you make these changes thoughtfully and effectively. If you are hesitating, now is the time to start your psychotherapy journey.

I work with highly sensitive, self-aware adults who are high functioning but feel stuck in the same relational patterns. Many have experienced relational trauma (family trauma, narcissistic abuse, or intimate partner violence) and learned to stay safe by over-functioning, over-adapting, or disconnecting from themselves. My primary offering is Connected Within, a group psychotherapy experience where insight becomes action. The group acts as a therapeutic social microcosm, allowing you to practice new ways of relating with other group members with support, structure, and intention.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
