Our thoughts and feelings color our lives; if you want changes, start with your mind. Small changes in your thoughts can lead to big changes in your life. I help people with matters like anxiety, anger management, addictions, narcissistic relationship-rehab, neuroscience-based wellness support, existential crises, insomnia, grief, depression, and boundary setting support. The 'active ingredient' in therapy is the relationship between a client and their therapist. Therapy is a gift to the self; it's a moment in our busy week focused solely on us; a safe place to be real, to unpack, and to ultimately grow.

I've completed advanced training in Perinatal Mental Health, Maternal Grief and Loss, Eating Disorders, Intuitive Eating, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT.
Life can feel really hard at times—whether you’re facing the ups and downs of pregnancy or postpartum, grieving a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, or in need of parenting support. Maybe you’re struggling with food and body image, dealing with an eating disorder, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Many of the people I work with want a nonjudgmental space to share and process what they’re experiencing; they want to feel more connected to themselves and want help in making changes that bring relief and hope.

Supervision, Consultation and Billing Services for Mental Health Clinicians-
Learning never stops in clinical work; about our clients or ourselves. Every session, case, and challenge offers an opportunity to grow. I believe clinical knowledge is not fixed, but shaped by context, relationship, culture, and lived experience. When clinicians develop self-knowledge alongside professional skill, their work becomes deeper, more ethical, and more sustainable over time.

Our traumas live in our bodies. For many of us, talking about our challenges is not enough. My integrative somatic approach combines counseling and touch, working on a massage table. Rosen Method Bodywork grows our awareness of how and what we are holding. Muscle tension reveals how we have adapted around painful memories, emotions, and beliefs. Tension in the body has helped us cope, but now may limit our breath, relationships, and our full sense of aliveness. As the unconscious becomes conscious, memories and emotions often arise for us to be with and explore.
