My practice is about creating space... a relational space to be, to reflect, to see, to heal, and imagine anew. Life can often feel overwhelming or bring feelings of hopelessness, but our inner resources are often more than we are able to imagine in the moment of our distress. New strength and connection can be found in parts of yourself that have been cut off or neglected for various reasons. Often we need the presence of someone, like a therapist, who has the potential to reflect back who we are being and what we might be neglecting, in order to see ourselves more clearly and engage life and relationships more fully.

Whether you want to halt an addiction, find healing from past sexual abuse, or rekindle your marriage, I will help you identify what is holding you back.

Healing from trauma isn’t linear, tidy, or one-size-fits-all — and I don’t expect it to be. I love working with folks who are navigating the messy overlap of complex trauma, grief, marginalization, neurodivergence, and OCD. I bring curiosity, attunement, and deep respect for your lived experience — you’re the expert on your own story and I’m here to walk with you, not lead you. I affirm all identities, all ways of relating, and all the parts of you that might have been pushed to the margins.

You’ve been carrying a lot - deadlines, relationships, and the quiet weight of anxiety, overwhelm, or feeling “different.” Maybe you’re navigating adult ADHD, struggling with focus, or replaying patterns that keep you stuck. Past trauma or the stress of living in a world that doesn’t always see you can make it hard to show up as your full self. You don't have to do this alone.

Life's stressors can be overwhelming. Therapy shows us new ways of being and engaging through practicing adaptive skills and mindfulness. I help my clients uncover connections between past experiences that shape their current ways of coping. This leads to the ability to recognize inner strengths, identify and embrace discomfort, and cultivate self-compassion to find peace and true connection. With empathetic listening in a safe environment, I strive to be my client’s ally. I use cognitive and somatic modalities to connect mind and body and tailor my approach to your needs, even using humor when appropriate!

My ideal client is an adult who is looking to make a change. Maybe they're carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, depression that feels heavy, or trauma that shows up in unexpected ways. They may be healing from a difficult relationship, navigating a major life transition, or feeling disconnected from their former selves. They want to understand themselves, make sense of their experiences, and build a life that feels authentic and genuine. They're willing to sit with discomfort if it leads to real growth. They want a therapist who sees them as a whole person, not just a diagnosis, and respects their pace and autonomy.

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.
