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.

I have a true passion for helping people of all ages build on their inner strengths and break free from negative thought and behavior patterns that get in the way of living a healthy balanced life. I use an integrative framework, drawing from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other treatment approaches, tailored to meet each person where they are in their own unique journey towards growth and healing.
I work with ages 18 and up, and have a special interest in anxiety disorders, grief, and trauma treatment. My top priority is to ensure effective therapeutic treatment, while providing a compassionate, trusting, and non-judgmental environment for everyone.

My clients are the champions of their own lives. It is an honor and a privilege to witness clients grow, heal, and establish better relationships. I have specialized training in how to help people manage and overcome obsessive compulsive disorder and in how to help people resolve marital/couple problems.
I also do focused work in helping clients navigate gender identity issues, and sexual identity issues. I am LGBTQ friendly and kink friendly. I have practical experience helping people with anxiety disorders, obsessive behaviors, mood disorders, and "how to be a grown up" struggles. Past clients have described me as helpful, quirky, hopeful, and healing.

Life can feel especially complicated during times of change, or when the stress of everyday life becomes overwhelming. I work with adults navigating these challenges, using an integrative approach informed by existential and humanistic perspectives.
I specialize in supporting individuals through life transitions, relationship difficulties, and periods of spiritual questioning.

Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, nurture healthier relationships, and foster lasting growth.

Life is constantly moving, changing, and evolving. Sometimes it feels like too much to take on alone. In a fast-paced world with many truths, I enable individuals to fully understand themselves in a warm, collaborative, and judgment-free environment. I enjoy working with individuals from all backgrounds, especially women ages 18+. I have a special interest in supporting individuals dealing with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, navigating life transitions, managing relationships, addressing eating issues, fostering positive body image, and enhancing self-esteem.
I believe the foundation for therapy is the relationship. I want to create a space that feels approachable and safe to every individual. I will strive to make the therapeutic process collaborative and centered around your goals, with some friendly challenges thrown in at times. I look forward to working with you, and helping you set and meet your goals!

Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when you're dealing with anxiety, relationship strain, or major transitions like starting a new job, entering adulthood, or adjusting to change. You don’t have to go through it alone. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we work together to help you gain insight, build confidence, and reconnect with your strengths. My therapeutic style is warm, patient, and flexible. I take an integrative approach, tailoring sessions to fit your needs while we move at your pace.
I draw from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and strengths-based framework. I welcome clients of all ages and enjoy helping individuals and couples through periods of personal growth, identity development, and transition.

You’re driven, capable, and often seen as “doing fine”—even when you feel overwhelmed inside. Maybe anxiety is showing up before tests, games, or social situations. Maybe you’re questioning who you are outside of school, your sport, or others' expectations. I work with preteens, teens, and young adults to slow down, manage anxiety, build confidence, and reconnect with what matters. You don’t have to do it all alone—and you don’t have to have it all figured out.
My approach is warm, direct, and strengths-based. I lead with empathy while also holding space for accountability. We’ll build on what’s working, explore what’s getting in the way, and take practical steps toward change so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
I just elected a membership with Association for Social Work in Sport (ASWIS). This is a Professional Member of the Association for Social Work in Sport (ASWIS), a national organization dedicated to advancing mental health care for athletes.

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.

It’s hard to feel at peace when you’re overwhelmed, burned out, masking, or carrying things alone for too long. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s weighing on you, express yourself openly, and begin overcoming the obstacles keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll focus on helping you live more authentically, reconnect with your priorities, and build more trust and compassion with yourself and others.
I use person-centered, eclectic approaches tailored to your individual needs and believe struggles and conflict can become opportunities for growth, healing, and self-understanding. Therapy can help you reframe painful experiences, feel less isolated, and move through life with greater clarity and confidence.
In addition to traditional talk therapy, I am a certified art therapist and incorporate creative approaches when helpful. I work primarily with older teens and adults and have specialized experience supporting people navigating autism, trauma, anxiety, depression, mania, and serious and persistent mental illness.

I provide a safe, supportive space where you will feel heard, understood, and free from judgment. Whether you’re looking to heal, find balance, or simply just have someone in your corner, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I specialize in working with caregivers of loved ones with special needs/chronic illness, maternal mental health, and borderline personality disorder. I also enjoy practicing family therapy.
I offer years of experience supporting individuals coping with the stress that accompanies being a caregiver. I love supporting the interpersonal relationships within a family and helping everyone in a family unit understand each other and "speak the same language".
I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs, meeting you where you are and working together to create a form of therapy that feels right for your goals. If I sound like someone you could connect with, reach out, and we can set up a free consultation. I would love to hear more about you!
