After working at a local university for eight years, I'm now my own boss to allow greater flexibility in our work together. No modules to complete before you get to schedule an actual appointment. No session limits each semester--except those set by the insurance company, if applicable. I'm open to addressing whatever is on your mind and am comfortable with a variety of issues and concerns. Most people come in to talk about things that keep them up at night, thoughts and feelings that preven...
You sometimes feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and you don’t know where to start. You wake up feeling irritated, overwhelmed, sad, heavy, or hopeless. It can be hard to show your feelings or get through the day when you think no one will understand or that you will be judged. You are never alone even when you feel like you are! I am here to listen and to help you feel supported. Let’s work together to help you find more successful ways to utilize your current strengths and ...
Welcome! I know it can be intimidating to reach out for support and I’m glad you are here. You may be in a place where you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like no one understands what you are going through. Often current challenges intersect with past traumatic or painful experiences that you haven't yet processed. These feelings and thoughts often come from a protective place. They might have been helpful at one point, but right now, they aren't helpful or serving you anymore. Therapy with...

I also work with survivors of narcissistic/emotional/spiritual abuse; clients with ADHD/ASD; and those with relational/attachment trauma through abuse and neglect in their family of origin.

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...

Anxiety has a way of creeping into every part of life—especially during college, when so much is changing so quickly. You might find that small stressors snowball until they feel completely overwhelming, and then suddenly you’re snapping, shutting down, or withdrawing—and even you aren't sure why. That constant state of being “on edge” is exhausting, and without a way to process or release it, it can take a real toll on your well-being, your relationships, and your ability to focus and grow. ...
There are times in life when you feel stuck, sad, angry, or indifferent. In these times, it is helpful to have a non-bias party be a mirror on your journey to becoming the best version of you that you can be. There are also times when clients have identified that familial traditions have held them captive or even hindered their growth. Processing those things will help you to identify the best path for you as you move forward to your big picture. I would love to assist you on that journey of bec...
Human existence is unique for each of us, and that means a uniquely tailored approach to therapy is important. Taking a one-size-fits-all approach negates the fact that we are naturally complex beings. My therapy approach is practical, compassionate, easygoing and down-to-earth. In my practice, I draw from my training in various evidenced based approaches to provide effective treatment for everyone I work with. That said, I also rely heavily on my own intuition to help guide our work togethe...

I believe in the strengths of the clients who come to me for therapy; I want them to experience successes along the way and find belonging in the spaces they inhabit, whether those are current spaces or new ones they create. Key to those successes are elements of confidence-building, personal structure, reflection, and a sense of belonging. Q. Why are you interested to be listed on Thriving Campus? A. In addition to being a licensed psychotherapist I'm also an adjunct professor at a local u...
Lately you’ve been feeling down. Maybe you're having trouble sleeping, eating, or isolating and every day feels like a struggle. Perhaps you’ve been feeling nervous, maybe even for no clear reason, and it’s making it hard to focus or function well. Some people even feel like their mind has been playing tricks on them - like having extraordinary experiences where you’re seeing or hearing things others don’t seem to see or hear. Or perhaps those scary moments from your past seem to be getting bigg...
College can be exciting—but it can also be a lot. Between classes, deadlines, social pressures, and figuring out who you are and what you want, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or like you're falling behind while everyone else seems to have it together. If you're feeling burnt out, stuck, or unsure of your next steps, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out all by yourself. I work with college students navigating stress, anxiety, identity questions, academic pressure, rela...

We can't do it all on our own. I offer a safe space to help you mana...
