So, I want to help you see that you have intrinsic worth and dignity, despite layers of social and cultural conditioning that may make you feel otherwise.

Awesome! You've made it to this moment. Its not easy to start looking for a therapist but now that you've been clicking on a few profiles you're probably figuring out what vibes for you and what doesn't. My individual and group services focus on adults and adolescents struggling with substance use issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, stress reduction, and transitional/life challenges. This is not stuffy therapy. I've been known to swear from time to time (when appropriate of course!) and been told my style is warm and compassionate, offering an interactive setting for understanding, growth and healing.

Do you find yourself getting triggered by daily life. Are you solving predicted problems regularly? Do you feel misunderstood? Are you feeling alone in your stress? Are you tired and/or on edge? These often occur because of current stressful situations, while other times they stem from previously experienced traumas, or possibly both. I often hear my clients referring to their experiences as embarrassing, never ending, exhausting. They often wonder if their relationships can be fixed. I can help you gain inner peace, a sense of security, and improve your relationships. Whether attending solo or as a couple.

So many of us feel like we are stuck in certain ways- whether it be stuck in our patterns of behaviors, our overwhelming emotions, our reactions, our relationships, or any other way we may be feeling stuck. I want to work with people who feel like they are stuck and aren’t sure where to go next. I intend to help people feel empowered and free. I am an integrative, individualist therapist who chooses to see therapy as a process of connecting and moving towards living a more authentic life. While I work with a wide range of clients, I find myself especially drawn to working with young adults and women.

Trauma and grief are my areas of expertise. If the ways you have been coping no longer work, if pain has shifted into ongoing suffering, or if you feel persistently on edge, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, others, or the world, we may be a good therapy fit. I take time to understand the nuance of your lived experience and integrate that with my clinical knowledge to help you feel grounded, safe, and understood within sessions. From there, we work intentionally to translate that safety into your relationships, choices, and daily life so change feels both meaningful and sustainable.

Hi! I'm glad you're here! It takes courage to reach out for support, and you’ve already taken an important first step. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by past trauma, or caught in the stress of high-conflict relationships with family, partners, or co-parents. Others are navigating the challenges of disability—whether their own or a loved one’s—and want a therapist who truly understands and affirms their experience.

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.
