I strongly believe in the transformative power of therapy. I work with clients using curiosity and understanding to explore the roadblocks that keep them from becoming who they want to be. I typically work with teenagers and adults, and am open to working with individuals, couples, or families. Many of my clients feel stuck or disconnected from themselves or from the people they care about. Together, we work to understand what’s going on and how to move forward in a way that feels true to you.
I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, and I’ll always meet you where you’re at. I use a mix of evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques, all tailored to your unique needs and goals. I’m here when you’re ready.

Therapy can be incredibly helpful for those navigating anxiety, stress, and developing coping skills. I have experience working with neurodivergent clients and am passionate about continuing to support individuals in this area. As someone who is organized, motivated, and goal-oriented, I aim to work with clients who are ready to take steps toward achieving their goals in a supportive, non-judgmental space. We're in this together, and I’m here to support you on your journey or the next chapter of your life.
My approach is always rooted in understanding and empathy, providing a safe space where you can feel heard and grow. I help clients identify their strengths, successes, and areas of growth. My therapeutic style combines person-centered care, cognitive-behavioral techniques, strength-based focus, and trauma-informed practices.
If you're ready to process your thoughts and feelings and move forward with your goals, I’m here to help guide you your path for growth. Together, we’ll build a strong connection in a judgment-free environment, working toward the positive changes you’re looking for.

I provide therapy to adolescents and adults grounded in evidence-based practices to support clients in building meaningful change and resilience. I am certified in EMDR and experienced in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I draw from a strengths-based, person-centered approach that honors each client's unique story.
My goal is to create a safe, warm, and inviting space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe healing happens through empathy, collaboration, and authentic connection, and I work alongside you to identify goals and develop strategies that fit your needs and values.
I work with traumatized individuals, those with cluster B personality traits, ADHD, anxiety and depression. I am committed to providing affirming care for the LGBTQIA+ community and to fostering an environment where all identities and experiences are respected and celebrated. Together, we can explore challenges, build on your strengths, and move toward

Life doesn’t always go as planned. Sometimes, the changes we face can feel overwhelming, painful, or isolating. Whether you’re navigating trauma, grief, a major transition, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a powerful step forward. I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting stress, and identity shifts. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of change: after a loss, during pregnancy or postpartum, in early recovery, or while trying to make sense of a new chapter in life.
I take a person-centered, relational approach to therapy. That means we’ll work together at your pace. I’m also a LADC, so I often support clients dealing with overlapping mental health and substance use concerns. I have training in advanced perinatal mental health, and experience working with individuals navigating complex emotional patterns.

Many folks seek therapy due to a disconnection: from themselves, others, or community. During therapy, I support your identification of relationship patterns, offer feedback on your relationship style, and hold space for you to practice different relational approaches. I can also incorporate interventions that are cognitive (focus on thoughts), behavioral (action-based), or emotional (name, express, and be with feelings), depending on your personal needs.
Therapy is about change, and change can be scary. With humor, compassion, understanding, and belief in your capacity, I can help you explore what types of change might help you most.

I believe therapy is a space to feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow. I work with individuals and families across the lifespan, from young children to older adults, addressing a range of needs and life transitions. My approach is integrative and tailored to each person, drawing from client-centered, strengths-based, solution-focused, narrative, CBT, and trauma-informed care. Therapy is collaborative, guided by your voice and goals, with a focus on building strengths, navigating challenges, and creating a more meaningful life.

I am dual-licensed to address both mental health and substance abuse. My approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness techniques and person-centered approaches that have been shown to be highly effective for treating a multitude of concerns.

There’s a lot in life we can’t control, but your power to make change is greater than you think. I offer a welcoming space to discuss life’s big questions or steps toward your goals. If you’re boxed in by work pressures, family conflicts, relationship issues, or harmful habits, let’s build a plan for change. If anger or stress are causing actions that don’t match your values, let’s draft a map for navigating hard moments.
My approach is flexible and nonjudgmental. I integrate tools from dialectical behavior therapy to help clients improve communication and build comfort with tough emotions. I take a strengths-based approach to highlight the skills and resilience you already have, and take an existential view with clients exploring their purpose in the world.

Through my 20 years as a therapist I’ve come to understand the common issues that get in the way of peoples’ growth and success. I can help you identify what is getting in your way, understand what you learned early on that caused you to feel stuck, and heal from those issues to create lasting change. I utilize trauma treatments such as EMDR and other experiential strategies to help you engage in life and relationships with more vibrancy and joy. I am also certified in Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy (RLT) for couples counseling and welcome couples to therapy utilizing this effective approach for sustainable relational change.
I have specialized experience working with the LGBTQ community and provide a safe and affirming environment. I work with people on issues of sex and sexuality in a sex-positive manner. I am trauma-informed and understand the effects of trauma, both big and small, and have strategies to help people heal from those painful life experiences.
No life issue is too small for therapy. If you are looking to create richer and more fulfilling relationships, increase your self confidence, and learn how to be the parent you always needed, I can help you with that. I look forward to meeting with you soon.

Too often we get caught up in worrying about things we cannot control, yet don't know where to start in making a change in the right direction. Maybe you are currently struggling in your relationships, navigating blended family dynamics, trying to cope with social anxiety or there are just things you experienced growing up and you just can't seem to "let it go." As your therapist, I will take the time to get to know and understand your experiences, areas of stuckness, and overwhelm, as we work together to create meaningful changes.
The clients who connect with me the most are adults and young adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety, unresolved trauma, or poor self-esteem. I draw from a variety of therapy models, primarily using mindfulness-based approaches, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and existential therapy.
