It has been said, that change only occurs when the pain of remaining the same becomes greater than the pain of change. A healthy fulfilling life is full of transformative growth, which can be emotionally difficult, and threatening to established thinking and behavior. My work focuses on moving you toward your stated goals, guiding you through the discomfort toward a new normal. I will work collaboratively with you to explore your particular issue, examine your options, and give you the tools you need to face difficulties and bring about positive change.

I work best with female-identified individuals who are motivated to invest in themselves and are committed to making positive changes in their lives. Therapy is a process that requires active engagement, and it’s most effective when you are fully involved. I welcome adults 18 and up who are seeking support with relationships, mood management, and communication skills. I bring a sense of humor to my sessions, creating a warm and approachable environment where we can explore challenges together. Your goals are my priority, and I’ll be there to help you navigate obstacles, celebrate your progress, and work toward lasting change.

I believe that therapy is a process where my job is to facilitate you through possible change options. We spend time identifying what’s working and what's not in your life, and collaboratively decide on the best desired outcome. The most important component of successful therapy is simply that you feel comfortable with your therapist. Therefore, whether you see me or someone else, comfort will bring you success.

Life is a journey. Sometimes we need a sounding board to sort out our thoughts and feelings and gain a new perspective on life. My goal is to help you be the happiest person you can be. I specialize in working with clients with complex trauma, which is trauma related to childhood experiences. I have expertise in working with adult children of narcissistic parents. I also have expertise in working with adult clients with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, family of origin issues, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and career issues.

My joy as a therapist comes from working with kids, teens, and adults (ages 5-30) who struggle to manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Kids, just like adults struggle to manage their emotions, however, unlike adults, they don’t quite have the developmental skills yet to communicate what they are experiencing. I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities to creatively approach each client and session based on the needs presented. I especially enjoy incorporating art and play into my sessions, which helps build on the normal communicative processes of kids that are not limited by traditional talk therapy.

I offer trans-affirming, neurodivergent-affirming, kink-aware, poly/ENM-inclusive, and HAES counseling. Many of my clients arrive carrying anxiety, past trauma, or a sense of disconnection from their own values and hopes. Some are drawn to creative and experiential ways of working, including drama therapy, art, or somatic awareness. Others simply want a space where every feeling, from fear to laughter, is welcome without judgment. What they share is a readiness to move toward authenticity. Together, we work to loosen the grip of old narratives and help them reconnect with who they are and who they want to become.

You may look like you are holding everything together, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of repeating the same patterns. I help teens, adults, couples, and families slow things down, understand what is really happening underneath the conflict or stress, and build practical tools for emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and healing.
In our work together, I will not rush to judge, label, or “fix” you.
