I firmly believe that we naturally lean towards healing, and I also understand that to be human is to know suffering. We are all deserving of peace, and my intention is to support you in claiming yours.

In our therapeutic relationship, I aim to show up as my authentic self - someone who will laugh with you, grieve with you, celebrate you, and support you in navigati...

Anxiety, worry, and intrusive thoughts are incredibly isolating and I am passionate about joining my clients in their journey toward reclaiming their lives and conquering their fears. You don’t need to do this alone anymore! My clients are often high schoolers, college students, and/or adults that are overwhelmed by perfectionism, high expectations, anxiety, and/or OCD’s rules about how to live their lives. They may also be going through major life transitions or struggling with looming uncertai...
As a mom and Army Veteran, I am passionate about supporting those who have dedicated their lives to service (of all types!) I am adept at working with the "givers" - the folks who are often over-extending to those around them. I am committed to creating a safe and judgment-free space for you to finally be the one that receives support. Whether you're a veteran navigating the challenges of post-service life, a healthcare provider managing the pressures of the field, a mom juggling the demands of...

I work with people in transition or who are preparing for change. Artists, actors and writers. Those in bereavement. Or who are living with a catastrophic health-related diagnosis, recent or of long duration. Caregivers. Mental health interns who need to explore their own issues in order to practice mindfully. Folks who are using substances more than they want. People who want to decrease their distress but who also have a curiosity about its sources. People who want to talk with someone about t...
My clients are often struggling to find peace in their relationships to food, movement, and themselves. Trying to do this while also adjusting to college is a lot of work! They are often motivated to find healing but unsure of where to start. They may have struggled with an eating disorder or disordered eating, but not always. I believe my clients are already holding the tools they need to work towards a more harmonious life....

I am comfortable and knowledgeable about topics relating to sex and sexuality, gender affirmation, sex positivity, poly/non-monogamy, and intersections of identity. I am a Licens...
My clients struggle like you do. Despite being intelligent, kind, and creative, life is hard. When we first begin therapy, my clients feel like their relationships are lacking. They’re having issues with family, friends, and partners. They wonder why they keep having the same experiences in relationships, and what they can do about it. They wish they knew why things keep playing out in the same way. They feel like they’re not good enough, and that it’s their fault. All too often, they...

Student life involves transitions, both micro and macro. At what other time in our lives do we revise schedules on a quarterly basis? Acclimating to a new schedule and pace, while continuing to attend to family, friends, and work is daunting. And somewhere in the midst of those demands, is a continued need to care for yourself. People often work with me when they are questioning their relationships with important people in their lives, as well as when they are learning more about the relatio...
