As a therapist, I help clients navigate the process of change in a caring and supportive environment. I believe counseling is an opportunity for healing and growth, for ourselves and our relationships. Throughout our lives we all have experiences that shape who we are and how we view the world. These experiences impact us in both positive and negative ways. Understanding how the past informs our present can empower us to make changes towards a more authentic future.

I work with individuals (ages 19–80) who are navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. This often includes healing relational wounds, working with anxiety, complex trauma, and shifting out of insecure attachment patterns. I additionally have a passion for helping parents and birthing people through emotional intensity, identity shifts, and the generational patterns that tend to surface as we parent—particularly when external systems feel strained or unsupportive.

So glad you are here! There's a particular kind of weight that comes from being someone who holds it together for everyone else - and then wondering why you feel so disconnected from your own life. Maybe it's grief, or anxiety, or a relationship that stopped feeling like partnership. Maybe life has shifted in ways you didn't see coming and you're not sure how to find your footing, whatever brought you here, I want you to know: I've been sitting with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives for 35 years. You don't have to explain yourself from the beginning - you can just start from where you are.

Change, though necessary and unavoidable, is never easy. Though our resistance to change is a normal reaction I believe that these moments of our life can be an opportunity to see ourselves and our world in a new and more inclusive way. It continues to be my great privilege to support my clients through these transitions.

At some point in our life we will experience adversity, trauma, heartbreak, or loss. This can often cause us to lose sight of who we are, dimish our voice, distort our self-perception, or change how we view the world at large. My goal as a therapist is to help you find the tools that will help you work through the issues you have gone through or maybe going through, while successfully not only helping you cope but to thrive, heal, and move forward stronger, and more confident.

You might not even be able to name what’s wrong. You just know something feels off and it keeps showing up in your relationships, your reactions, the way your body holds onto things you thought you’d dealt with. I work with adolescents and adults who are ready to go beyond talking about what happened and actually heal from it. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I take this work seriously, and I’ll bring some humor along the way because healing doesn’t have to be heavy every single minute.

Across the lifespan, we encounter stressors of all kinds. Our moods, anxiety levels, thinking, and behaviors can depend on how well we are able to manage these stressors over time. Sometimes, regardless of our age, the coping skills we've learned and developed let us down. Utilizing a primarily psychodynamic approach, my goal in therapy is to help you experience your life (including the good and bad aspects) in a real and authentic way, grounded in self-awareness and insight, so that you can better manage your feelings, thinking, and behavior.
