Are you looking for a therapist who is willing to let you take the wheel during your journey to mental health? Maybe you have anxieties in general, about a specific situation, or even related to past experienced traumas? I am here to both listen to and hear your story.
My clients often feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, or relationship struggles. Many are survivors of narcissistic abuse, navigating complex relationships, or working through life transitions. I work with adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and nontraditional relationships, offering a space that is affirming, trauma-informed, and practical. If you’re ready to deepen self-trust, heal past wounds, and create meaningful change, I’d love to support you.
I work with clients aged 6 years to 70 individually, within families and soon I will launch a grief therapy group. Specific issues I have knowledge treating include anxiety, depression, grief over loss, low self-worth, eating disorders, negative body image and interpersonal issues within families and intimate relationships. I am in the process of learning about NPD in order to help victims of narcissistic abuse and neglect to heal and end those patterns of abuse.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

I work with clients who share a common desire: to break free from the grip of perfectionism & control, genuinely connect with others and live in-alignment with their values. Many of my clients are women who are self-diagnosed/newly diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD, and they're ready to embrace their authentic selves. In our sessions, my clients enjoy a blend of humor & compassion, creating a space where they feel understood and supported on their journey towards acceptance & fulfillment.
It always amazes me the complete turn around clients can do with the tools they already have, they just needed to discover, reorganize or sharpen a few things. Clients who typically seek me out are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma, perinatal or postpartum issues, women's issues, anxiety or who can help support them in a significant life transition. I am excited to offer you a space to heal, learn and feel you are not alone.
My ideal client is someone who is wanting to make changes and appreciates a direct, but empathetic approach that will sometimes include humor. As a therapist, I will not give you advice but rather help you identify maladaptive patterns, coping skills, behaviors, etc. and work with you on changing those things that are a barrier to happiness and contentment. I believe my clients are their own experts and as such, believe they should drive their treatment and their goals.
Many of my clients have experienced chronic illness (including cancer, kidney disease), grief/loss, family conflict, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss of routine &/or job, trauma, loss of identity. Developing safety & trust in therapy will be part of our initial work. Your vulnerabilities & uncertainties are welcome. *EMDR trained (August, 2022); EMDR trained- Advanced Level (June, 2024). *Certified Grief Educator: February, 2023 (David Kessler Training)
I specialize in serving individuals who feel disconnected from themselves and others due to traumatic experiences or mental health issues like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. My ideal clients are seeking a judgment-free space to explore their inner world and process emotions that feel overwhelming or unclear. My expertise is creating a calm, empathic environment for you to develop self-awareness, find relief, and embrace all of your authentic self.

My clients prefer telehealth services. Whether they feel more comfortable accessing therapy from home or have difficulty attending "in person" sessions because of chronic and acute health issues, my schedule allows for weekly appointments with little to no wait time. I always keep my caseload small to accommodate my clients needs, so they feel like they can access support whenever they need it. My PsyPact APIT allows me to provide support whether you are at home, away at college, or traveling.
