Please e-mail, to be placed on waitlist. After 15 years working with community-based, non-profit agencies in multiple roles as well as about 20 years working with vulnerable youth, I am happily dedicated to private practice care. My practice is centered around whole-person treatment. Together, we will explore root causes to your symptoms, the narrative of your family system, process old trauma and develop healthy coping skills to manage your symptoms. Trauma, OCD, Generalized Anxiety and Codependency Treatment, are my primary specialties, and I look forward to learning about and helping you identify your unique goals for therapy. I find that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Trauma-Focused CBT as well as Short-term, Solution Focused Therapy, are efficient in the goal-setting process for most clients. I also use Narrative Therapy and Depression Treatment Quality Improvement (DTQI) methods to support reducing Depression. Treatment is not one-size fits all. My approach is to hold empathy, compassion and work from the stance that everyone can grow into the person they want to be. I do my best to be real and infuse humor in my style of therapy. I believe in humility and appropriate self-disclosure, but the focus is always on you! If you would like a free-consult, please e-mail for the fastest response!

My approach to therapy is that “no one size fits all,” and to meet you where you are at in a non-judgmental space. I work with adults in individual, group, and couples therapy, with people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and other mental health issues detrimental to a fulfilling life. All of my client relationships begin with an opportunity for you to talk and to have someone listen. Whether you are a young professional or recent graduate, or undergoing a transition that finds you stuck at a crossroad, I have the experience to support you as you take the next step. In our sessions, we will explore different chapters in your life, considering how that past has shaped your present, and how to set the stage for a fulfilling future. I take a solutions-oriented approach, incorporating talk therapy with mindfulness, and and as a classically-trained pianist I also employ therapeutic interventions using music. Coming to therapy for the first time may feel intimidating, which is why I strive to create a safe, accepting space where we can work together. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, and welcomes all gender identities, sexual orientations, and cultures. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation or for more information.

Hi there! I am SO glad that you are here. I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma that was experienced either in childhood or later in life, and the numerous things that often follow. For some individuals this looks like healing shame, anxiety, depression, grief, difficulty with connection or attachment in relationships, struggles with intimacy or trust, addictions or compulsive behaviors, disordered eating, and a multitude of other things. I believe healing occurs best in supported connection. I work to create a safe space where you feel comfortable examining beliefs and behaviors that may no longer serve you and begin the process of healing. I’ve been where you are. I know the struggles of feeling stuck and overwhelmed as well as the joy and light that can exist on the other side. I take a collaborative approach to the counseling relationship and am in no way a "sit-and-nod" therapist! I believe fully that YOU are the expert on your life and my hope is to help guide your journey to healing and growth while promoting your autonomy and power of choice.

Your whole life, you’ve been told that you’re “too much.” Too sensitive, too emotional, too high-maintenance. At the same time, you’ve been made to feel that you’re not enough in many ways. But they don’t see the whole picture. How your sensitivity to others' words and feelings makes you so empathetic and caring, or the way that you notice all the small details that other people tend to miss. You're cautious and deliberate, but you also tend to come up with the most creative solutions. You might be "picky" about the way things feel, but you also know exactly how to transform a space into a cozy, welcoming haven for others. The demands of daily life can be draining when you feel everything so deeply, but you can create a life that nourishes and recharges your energy instead of leaving you overwhelmed and irritable. I love working with clients like you, who are meticulous, insightful, and unwilling to settle for just getting by. I want you to discover what I already know: that your sensitivity is in fact your greatest strength. I have a special interest in working with sensitive parents, mothers with infants and toddlers, and young professional women. Email is the best way to reach me, and I have several clinicians at my practice so please contact me for availability!

My approach to therapy and evaluations is individualized based on my clients' needs and personal background and goals. My therapy approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal & existential modalities, adapted specifically for my clients. I incorporate positive psychology elements by being client-centered, non-judgmental, & utilizing clients' strengths in developing goals & a plan for treatment. I help clients gain insight into the nature of their difficulties, while creating a plan for progress and improved functioning. I prefer to work with adolescent & adult clients individually. I specialize in individual therapy, psychological evaluations, and consultation services. Often people avoid therapy because they are worried about being judged, criticized, or misunderstood. I feel confident that you will find me to be a genuinely accepting, understanding, and caring person. I use a supportive approach to help client's strive for the changes they want to achieve.

I am passionate about helping those with significant trauma and abuse stories. You are my people! I specialize in helping clients recover from complex trauma, and the behaviors that often go with it, such as self-harming, self-medicating, and a lack of self-compassion. My approach is grounded in trauma-focused, attachment-based care. I am most concerned with the meaning you give to what you have been through, and how it has influenced you, and who you are. My goal, always, is to help you walk your own path and create an environment in which you feel empowered to reach your highest potential. I am a licensed therapist (LPC) and I have been working in mental health in various roles since 2012. I have done a little bit of everything, including mobile crisis therapy out in the community with law enforcement and in ER’s, and this experience has given me a unique opportunity and ability to understand the needs and experiences of my clients. I value healing and progress, personal responsibility and hard work, and I believe therapy can be a powerful tool for growth. I am also a former foster youth who has walked the healing path myself. Should you feel connected to the words you are reading, I am available for telehealth appointments, and I look forward to meeting you on your path.
