When anxiety, trauma, or executive functioning challenges take over, life can start to feel exhausting and unmanageable.
My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming. I help clients understand how anxiety, trauma, and nervous system regulation impact emotions, behavior, and executive functioning. Together, we focus on building insight, practical tools, and self-compassion so challenges feel more manageable and less consuming.

I specialize in a wide range of psychological evaluations. Most of these are related to the criminal legal system. I assess risk of recidivism and amenability to treatment for those charged with sexual offending, both in the adult and juvenile system. I evaluate for competency to stand trial and whether there is support for a plea of Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity. I use formal testing, actuarial predictive instruments, review of records, collateral information and clinical interview to formulate my recommendations. I also see therapy clients with whom I use an approach integrating mindfulness and cognitive therapy.

Areas of practice include recovery from trauma/PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression and grief, mood/emotion regulation, attachment disorders, self-identity and esteem, perfectionism, relationship struggles, behavioral difficulties, stress management, LGBTQIA+, and difficult life changes/adjustments.
Many people carry the weight of self-doubt, shame, and disconnection from their authentic selves. I’m passionate about helping people quiet their inner critic, cultivate self-compassion, and rebuild confidence and wholeness.

Not sure where to start with therapy? That’s completely okay. I invite you to reach out with any questions. I’m happy to chat about what therapy looks like.

I specialize in perinatal mental health, grief and loss, and anxiety — basically the emotional marathon of becoming and being a mom.
You're doing everything — and somehow it still feels like not enough. Maybe motherhood hit differently than you expected, or the road to get here was harder than anyone warned you about. Maybe you can't quite name what's wrong, you just know something is. Whether you're in the thick of infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or just trying to keep your head above water as a mom — this is a safe place to be honest about how hard it actually is.

I most often work with clients who are dealing with relationship and communication issues, anxiety, non-monogamy/opening their relationships, chronic illness and disability, queerness, and kink/BDSM.
Are you feeling like it’s hard to authentically be yourself or connect with others?

My work with clients is open and collaborative, often using narrative therapy, EFT/attachment theory, and systems theory to help people flesh out their sense of identity and strengths. You can expect transparency, a culturally-attuned lens, and a little humor in therapy with me.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
