Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or emotional overwhelm, you deserve a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, without pretense.
I am genuinely passionate about my work. For 18 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families through some of life's most difficult seasons. What draws me to this work is the depth, complexity, and the profound moments when people who have long felt unseen or misunderstood finally feel understood and reconnect with themselves and the people they love.

You want to open up your monogamous relationship. You’ve done the reading, reflecting, and exploring on Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM). You are at a point to share this desire with your partner. And yet, the thought of hurting your partner or possibly losing them is terrifying. The guilt for wanting more is keeping you up at night. The confusion and doubt are all-consuming. How do you approach a conversation like this with honesty, care, and the least amount of emotional harm? What might you need to feel ready?... I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore these questions through the lens of Narrative therapy.

You’re tired of holding it all together—maybe you’re anxious, burned out, stuck in negative patterns, or just feeling off and not sure why. You want more than just coping—you want real change. I work with people who look like they have it together but feel overwhelmed inside. With over 15 years of experience as a therapist—and almost a decade spent on the frontlines as a first responder and hospital worker—I personally understand how trauma and chronic stress can shape your life. With EMDR and other effective tools, I help clients move out of survival mode and into a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more connected.

You have spent years molding yourself into what society, family, or your career expects, and now you are ready to reconnect with the woman you actually are. Perhaps perfectionism and anxiety have become constant companions, or the weight of professional burnout and complex identity—as a first-gen daughter or partner in an interfaith family—feels increasingly heavy. You are looking for more than just coping skills; you want to understand how your past influences your present. Your goal is to reclaim a sense of self-worth, heal the roots of your trauma, and finally move through the world with authenticity.

Healing from trauma is possible — you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re a survivor of narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, or childhood trauma I’m here to support you. Trauma leaves you feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected, but therapy can help you regain control, manage PTSD symptoms, and rebuild a sense of safety. I specialize in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Queer Narrative Therapy to help survivors process their past so it no longer defines their present. You deserve healing, and I would love to support you on this journey.

Therapy works best when it's built on genuine connection, not just technique. I specialize in complex trauma, dissociation, and psychosis, offering a deeply relational and trauma-informed approach rooted in safety and authenticity.
My specialties:
• Psychosis & Schizophrenia Spectrum
• Dissociation & DID
• Complex Trauma & PTSD
• Moral Injury
• Veteran Transition
People come to me when they're carrying something too heavy to think about clearly. I provide a steady, containing presence, and a mind that can hold you're experiencing. We build safety first, then develop language for what hasn't been named yet.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or stuck—like you need change but nothing you've tried has worked so far. You’re overthinking, struggling to focus, and running on empty. Maybe you’re facing a divorce, betrayal, major life change, or relationship stress. From the outside you might look “fine,” but inside you feel disconnected, irritable, lost, or scared. You’re tired of pushing through and wondering why you still feel this way, even when you're self aware and doing your best to cope. You want clarity, calm, and real support to help you feel like yourself again.

For real... I love working with people experiencing relationship problems, depression, anxiety and traumatic experiences that are holding them back. Why? Because I see those things get better everyday and that's awesome. Deeper connection, peace, fulfillment, creating a life you love, all possible. Counseling can make an enormous difference when facing adversity. It awakens courage and enhances wisdom, allowing more ease and intimacy. I am nurturing as well as direct, trusting in your ability to change. I want to work with people who are ready to roll up there sleeves, break painful patterns, and begin healing.

Are you or a loved one in pain? Suffering and feeling stuck or alone in that pain? Maybe you are coping, but not in healthy ways. Relationships, work and school are stressful and at times can feel overwhelming. Are you noticing patterns in your life that you don't like, but also can't change? Somehow we've come to equate success with not needing anyone.

When someone finds out I'm a psychotherapist, this question often comes next: "How can you listen to problems all day?" My response? "Oh no, that's not my job; I watch people become their best selves!" With 35 years of experience, fostering a client's voice and co-creating a road map are key to reaching goals. As a young adult client, my talk therapy allowed me to tell my story of deep hurts, wins and losses, hopes, and big dreams-ultimately learning who I am, uniquely, in this world. It was the transformational power and deep respect of the therapy process that drew me to become a clinician.

Are you lost in obsessions, panic, or depressive states? Do you find yourself acting in ways that don't align with reality or how you see yourself? It can be difficult to know what to do next, what you truly want, or how to connect with yourself and others. When life piles up and catches you by surprise, it is easy to lose your footing. When apathy and isolation take over, reaching out seems completely pointless.

I support my clients in their growth, whether they want to improve their mental health, make the most of their relationships or professional life, or cope with chronic illness. I am proud to work with people who have diverse backgrounds, life experiences, and personal identities.
