I work with those who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and not taking care of oneself first. Trauma comes in many forms and may not always look like what you'd expect. I also work well with caregivers and other helpers who experience compassion fatigue, along with those who find themselves giving more than they receive in their relationships. No matter the circumstances that bring you into therapy, we will spend time on how to set boundaries, tune in to your need...

College is a time in life where individuals face a lot of challenges as they transition from teens to adults. I work with individuals struggling with these life transitions, anxiety, OCD, stress and trauma....
I help my clients become more confident, contented, and true to themselves, while decreasing unhelpful approaches like worry, inaction, bottling emotions, people-pleasing, and avoidance in all its forms. My clients have recognized that, despite their academic and other successes, something is wrong: their old ways of coping are hitting their limits; their challenges are harder to manage; their interpersonal relationships are fewer and shallower than they'd like; painful thoughts keep resurfacin...

People think you have it all together, but they have no idea how much you struggle. Feeling exhausted and ashamed, your self-esteem sinks lower by the day. You feel like an imposter.

I help clients learn techniques to lessen suffering, and explore what a meaningful life means to them. Together, we will unravel your story. A...
Adjusting to college life can be difficult on so many levels. I can help with anxiety and depression issues that you've been struggling with for a long time or that are new to you. Issues I often see are related to adjusting to being independent for the first time, the rigor of school, or navigating new social circles. I have special expertise in helping folks with body-focused repetitive behaviors (skin picking, hair pulling) as well as being training in cognitive behavioral treatment of insomn...
Do you or your child display high emotional intensity? Passion and drive for learning? Insatiable curiosity, extreme focus and perfectionist tendencies? Deep empathy and awareness of social injustices and hypocrisy? Fear of trying new things and anxiety about the unknown? Gifted individuals are characterized by their heightened perceptions of self and the world around them, but are often limited in their ability to process their intense reactions and emotions. I understand and can relate to the ...
Do you ever feel like you are reliving the same script but with a different cast? Often, we play out the same dynamics across relationships without noticing how the same conflicts and chaos show up time and time again. I enjoy working with clients to recognize these patterns and collaborate towards striking a balance between empathy and boundaries. As a counselor, I aim to be with you in that discomfort and offer guidance in the process of letting go....

I believe that every person holds the power and resources necessary to find happiness. As a trans woman I understand both the external and the internal forces that create self-doubt and spike fear—the loneliness, the separateness, and the tailspin of uncertainty. I know, too, from professional and personal experience that self-acceptance and happiness are within everyone. Science upholds this belief, telling us that those who seek help benefit from it. For me this is not a theory, but the p...

I love working with individuals that identify with high-masking neurodivergency, particularly in college-aged individuals. This time period offers us unique challenges, which can often be compounded by having a neurodivergent mind that is figuring out how to navigate in a neurotypical world. I believe in empowering ourselves and granting ourselves the skills needed to succeed in a environment that might be challenging otherwise. My main goal is to connect with you, and help you achieve your ...
