People are unique human beings with a long list of remarkable qualities. Sometimes though, we feel that we have qualities that we need to work on to be our better selves. I work with individuals to find and strengthen those qualities. I consider each of the individuals who come to me for sessions as just that, individuals with autonomy. I use Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Play and Art Therapy.
I will help you figure out what you need and want, support healthy boundaries in your relationships, teach concrete skills that you can use, and guide you as you re-parent your inner child. Most importantly, in our work together you will find that you are a lovable human being with lots of awesome traits and that you belong in this world.

I believe that building a solid relationship is a key component of a positive therapy experience. I use a person-centered approach to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for each person to share their unique story. I work regularly with the LGBTQAI community and feel strongly about keeping this a safe space for all.
I have a passion for working with college students/young adults, helping you to work through life transitions, and am constantly working towards destigmatizing sex and the like topics. People universally want to feel heard, understood, and seen, and I aim to provide this for each person.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a safe, supportive environment where you can share your experiences and begin your journey towards healing. With over 20 years working in the mental health field, I help children, teens, young adults, and adults manage anxiety, depression, and everyday struggles. I provide psychoeducation about how anxiety and depression affect each of us and teach healthy coping skills as a path forward in life.
I am trained in CBT, DBT, and trauma informed practices. My experience comes from work in various mental health settings. This includes providing in home services to children with Autism, years of experience working in day treatment with adolescents/teens, and now years of experience in outpatient therapy settings.
I genuinely value helping clients regain confidence and resume activities impacted by mental health concerns. If you have questions or want to learn more, I invite you to reach out. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I operate from a holistic perspective and believe that every client deserves a collaborative wellness journey tailored to their unique needs. My areas of specialty include art therapy, mindfulness, and positively focused talk therapy. I enjoy helping my clients create fulfilling and intentional lives, while leaving behind the negative beliefs that no longer serve them. As a strength-based therapist, I believe in harnessing and building upon the positive aspects of each client, with the goals of personal empowerment and overcoming current challenges.
I enjoy working with young adults, adolescents, and school-aged children. I also enjoy working with adults of all ages providing therapeutic support to caregivers, persons living with chronic and/or serious illnesses, persons coping with grief/loss, and individuals/families with relational and family dynamics issues/conflict. ‍

I take a warm, curious approach to understanding you and the roots of your suffering. Together, we’ll explore not only what you’re experiencing, but why, so you can better understand yourself and navigate your life with more clarity and confidence. I’m a natural “dot connector”—almost forensic in how I help piece together the ways your history, relationships, beliefs, and experiences intersect and shape the present.
I work extensively with trauma (both recent and historical), relationship challenges, and substance use concerns. My goal is to help you feel truly seen, understood, and supported as we build a healing path that is both informed and deeply personal to you. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll walk the path of understanding and healing together.
My pronouns are they/them. I have extensive experience supporting clients within the LGBTQIA+ community as well as those outside of it, and I strive to offer an affirming, knowledgeable environment for people of all identities and backgrounds.

Therapy can be a space for deep healing, and it starts with feeling safe, seen, and supported. If you're navigating relationships, healing from trauma, or managing long-standing patterns rooted in attachment wounds, you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a grounded, compassionate space to help you process the past and reconnect with your strength in the present. My training includes EMDR, somatic, energy psychology, and cognitive-behavioral tools to help rewire thought patterns and support the nervous system in releasing stored emotional pain, often leading to long-lasting, transformational change.
Healing doesn't have to be rushed. My approach is calm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your pace. Whether you are carrying trauma in your body or feel like life is just "too much", let’s see together how we can help you get on an easier, happier road.

Therapy can be many things: healing, grounding, even artistic. At its best, it is a space where your strengths, pain, and experiences are honored, and where real change becomes possible. I believe in meeting people where they are, and see therapy as a collaborative journey, using your personal story as the guide. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches to help you work through anxiety, depression, and trauma, while supporting you in reconnecting with your inner resilience.
I have experience working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and feel strongly about creating a therapy space that is inclusive, respectful, and affirming. My current areas of interest are trauma/PTSD, anxiety and depression, and I work with preteens, teens, and adults.

I believe that the foundation of growth begins within the relationship between individual and therapist. The desire to feel seen, heard, and understood is universal and is an essential part of our overall well-being. I celebrate the courage of individuals who take steps into healing by engaging in the therapeutic process to manifest the life they desire. I am passionate about working together to ensure that you become an expert on yourself and believe in your own insight, strength, and self awareness. I believe that humor and laughter bring out our authentic selves and utilize this philosophy in my work.
For the past 20+ years I've had the opportunity to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I have a special interest in women's issues, PTSD and trauma, and healthy relationships. Other specialty areas include depression, anxiety, ADHD, and social anxiety. Asking for help does not always come easy, and I am willing and able to meet you where you are.
