Beginning therapy can feel like an intimidating experience. We have this idea of an unknown place where a stranger makes us open up about some of our deepest innermost thoughts… and then what happens? I get it. I’ve had those same thoughts about beginning therapy. But, what if I told you therapy doesn’t have to be hard or intimidating? I believe therapy should be rewarding and even fun (for real)! As your therapist, I will support you as we uncover what it means to have a life worth living and f...
Let's just be honest... young adulthood is rough! This period in life is often characterized by identity confusion, low self-esteem, difficulty regulating emotions, behavioral concerns, and many more challenges that the average young person isn't equipped to handle on their own. I definitely didn't know what to do when I experienced these hurdles as an adolescent and young adult. To this day, I still have to ask for help every once in a while! If you are beginning the process of finding help for...

I welcome the individual that is curious to understand the myriad of feelings, patterns and issues in one's life. I create space to be known and understand the self. Young adulthood is a time of discovery, to figure out how you want to be. Old defenses and coping skills may not be working as well. My professional interests are broad when it comes to the human condition including grief and loss, relationships and transitions. I work through a relational psychodynamic strength-based attachmen...
Welcome! I work with adults and young adults who want to find joy, purpose, and ease in their lives, but struggle to make this a reality.

As your therapist my goal is to help you work through whatever is in the way to the life you’ve always envisioned, and redefining what is possible. The “work through” part is not just talk therapy; it will include incorporating EMDR therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems therapy, also known as parts work), attachment theory (EFT), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), somatic approach - all of which are wholistic methods that allow to attend and process on three levels: body, emotions, and min...
