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!

Anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships can all be extremely difficult. I appreciate how hard it is to reach out for help, but I want to hear your story and find out about your struggles as well as your strengths. So, let's figure this out together! Previous to opening my own private practice I had worked in a small clinic focused upon people struggling with personality disorders. Additionally, I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, marital issues, and more. I became a therapist after 20 years as a professional musician and traveling all over the world. I believe my unique life experience has helped me to appreciate my patients and their unique stories, challenges, strengths, and desires.

I am an affirming therapist who is very attuned to the individual experience and narrative of every client I work with. I will not ignore your unique struggle, trauma, or journey that has shaped your life. I will help you go deeper to explore identity, pain, longings, fears, beliefs, struggles, resent, and relationships that have affected you in the past and still affect you today. I am open, non-judgemental, accepting, empathetic, and honest. I believe in therapy, that it works, and I will be with you for every step of your healing. I work with survivors of trauma, LGBTQIA+ folks, including couples and families, young adults, millennials, DMV transplants, military families, and anyone searching to deepen their connection with themselves. I currently offer virtual sessions at convenient times for clients with full schedules. I offer evening appointment options most weekdays. The best way to schedule with me is to submit a new patient form: https://newmillennialcounseling.org/now-accepting-new-patients/

Do people ask how you are doing and the answer is always “fine” or “ok”? Or maybe you avoid letting yourself feel uncomfortable emotions? Possibly putting off facing them until you feel more ready, but that day never comes? Depression, anxiety, and trauma can do that to us. They can change our trajectory in life, veer us off course of who we were meant to be. Shadows from the past can loom over us forever. If this is your experience, my sincerest hope is one day you will feel ready to no longer allow your past to place limits on the future. With my 14 years of experience in the field, my goal is to promote a safe space for us to fully understand your experience. Using a nonjudgmental approach, we will explore the ways you want to feel, what's standing in the way, and how to get you where you want to be. It takes courage to choose you, to take the time and do the work to invest in yourself. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. It is brave to share yourself with a stranger. I'd be honored for the opportunity to share your journey and together figure out how to get closer to the life you were meant to live. A life with purpose and fulfillment. You deserve a sense of passion and a life of worth. You deserve a life without limits.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, grief-stricken, confused, or just want an unbiased (professional) opinion, I would love to help! Even looking for a therapist can be difficult and time-consuming; thank you for taking the time to read what I've written. And even if I'm not who you're looking for, I sincerely hope you're able to conquer the challenges in your life. I've had the pleasure of helping others toward their goals in a variety of settings, with anxiety, depression, and grief remaining at the forefront of my work up until now. Therapy sessions with me revolve around you and your preferences. I'll meet you where you're at, even if you're not yet sure where "at" is. We'll talk about where you are now and where you'd like to be and then work together to bridge the gap. While we collaborate, I'll do everything I can to provide a safe space in which you can be your true self. Something I have learned during this time is that it's okay not to be okay. No one should have to hide their experiences or feel lesser for them. I encourage you to reach out so we can talk about this.

If you're reading this, you are likely going through some type of transition and feeling like you need support sifting through the muck. Whether expected, anticipated, wanted, or frustrating, life changes can impact us at all stages, and come with complex behaviors and emotions. My clients are adults and teens (14+) navigating self esteem, identity, changing friendships, and changes in independence. You may be experiencing shifting roles in family and relationships and are curious about family patterns. The ultimate transition - death and loss - can come with its own depth of experience and new understandings of healing. I am a somatic and existential therapist at heart. My clients often experience depression and anxiety related to chronic illness, disability, and grief. Together we work on befriending your nervous system and becoming grounded and attuned to new realities. With humor, creativity, and bravery, our work is a place of exploration and growth. As your counselor, my goal is to help you become a skilled self advocate and equip you with the tools to stay grounded through change and fear. Finding the "right" therapist can be an intimidating process, so I offer free consultations to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to connecting!

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.

On the outside, it looks as though you’re holding it all together. You have a good job, group of friends, and house to come home to. But on the inside you feel like you're failing, you’re using every ounce of energy trying to keep up appearances and you lay in bed at night wide awake with worry telling yourself you can't take another day like today. Nobody modeled or taught you how to make sense of and manage your emotions so they feel confusing and overwhelming when they occur. You've tried everything you can think of to help yourself through this, but you still feel like something's off and could use some extra support. View 3 Photos Feeling helpless, anxious, and lonely are normal responses to navigating uncharted waters. With me, you don’t have to be picture perfect and hold it all together. We can laugh, cry, dive into your fears, lean into the hard emotions, dispel the anxiety, and tap into the inner peace you’ve been longing for. I am an expert cheerleader, accountability partner, and heart holder. Therapy with me is more than "just listening" and isn't about giving you unwanted advice. I seek to establish an authentic and deep connection built on trust, safety, and compassion. I feel honored to support you during this tumultuous time and look forward to meeting you!

This is not the life you pictured, is it? You know things need to change but have no idea where to start. Being a human in this fast-paced society is quite difficult and often times heartbreaking. I strive to place the therapeutic relationship as my primary focus, because until someone feels authentically accepted, change is not going to be possible. You came here to change things in your life but ironically, first you have to learn to accept who and what you are, right in this moment. I can help you get to that place! I mix science of the brain & body in combination with identifying the many loops and patterns we tend to get "stuck" in, to help clients achieve authentic change, and a more peaceful outlook on themselves and their life.

I have seen the growth and healing that can happen when you experience understanding and acceptance in a safe and compassionate environment. Whether you are coming into therapy to address current stressors in your life or are ready to work through past trauma, I will provide you with a supportive environment to begin that process. Together we will build awareness of your core beliefs, identify your patterns of interacting with the world, and uncover your inner strengths. Through learning the impact of traumatic experiences on the brain and nervous system, we can learn to regulate our emotions and increase safety in the body. I utilize a range of therapeutic approaches including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, and mindfulness-based interventions. In working with children, I use play to enhance the processing of their inner experiences and feelings. I empower families to build positive relationships through active participation in family therapy and parent consultation sessions.

My clinical area of interest and training is in behavioral pediatric counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy. I use my training to promote positive mental and behavioral health to children and their families. I use skills from a treatment approach called Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to teach caregivers positive parenting and relationship-enhancing skills. PCIT teaches behavior management strategies to manage disruptive behavior, aggression, and promote adhering to instructions and family home rules. Other mental and behavioral concerns I assist children, youth, and families with include: academic problems, adjustments (death, divorce), aggression, ADHD, autism, child abuse/neglect/trauma, depression, developmental disabilities, fears & anxieties, feeding problems/picky eaters, oppositional behavior, pain management, parent training, sibling rivalry, sleep concerns, stress, thumb sucking, & toilet training. Additionally, I have completed training in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), an empirically-supported treatment program to assist children and their non-offending parents during the process of healing from child abuse, neglect, and trauma. I use these skills to assist individuals through traumatic experiences they've encountered.

We are often presented with a plan for how our lives might look by our family, community, and society. What happens when your life goes off-script? Maybe you lose someone important to you, and you are left wondering how to pick up the pieces and move forward. Maybe you see your peers seeming to “check the boxes” of adulthood and feel like you’re falling behind or failing. Maybe you’ve retired and are finding it difficult to adjust to a life outside your job. Maybe you don’t fit into the straight, binary norm and you’re struggling to find what a full and healthy life looks like for you when you don't have a template. All of these situations can leave you feeling lost, and may lead to problems with anxiety and depression. How do you find meaning and hope when things aren’t the way you expected them to be? Let's look for the answer to this question. I use an affirming, client-centered approach to help you find the direction you want to take and the tools you need. I work with adults over 25, of all genders. I am currently accepting new clients for telehealth and in-person therapy. Contact me via email or phone to set up a free consultation call.
