"Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions." Dalai Lama Seeking therapy is an act of strength, not weakness. It requires self-awareness and courage to recognize when help is needed. Many individuals who pursue therapy are already doing well in life but want to improve certain aspects or overcome specific challenges. Collaborating with a licensed therapist offers the opportunity for objective, professional guidance to better understand obstacles, set meaningful goals, and work toward positive transformation. Therapy can lead to numerous benefits, such as more fulfilling relationships, enhanced energy and productivity, and a greater sense of well-being. In my practice, I work alongside clients to tap into their strengths, helping them gain clarity and find practical solutions. I approach each session with compassion and humor, supporting clients in achieving their personal goals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to a successful therapy experience. I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental, and trusting environment where clients can freely explore their challenges.

I base my practice around two fundamental ideals: empathy and non-judgment. I'm here to be your sounding-board, advocate, support person and guide through your journey to self-discovery and empowerment. For me, therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to achieve your goals in a method that I tailor specifically to you. We'll explore symptoms that you're experiencing in the here-and-now (depression, anxiety), as well as related underlying concerns (relationship issues, past traumas, identity issues). I primarily do individual therapy with adolescents and adults and I specialize in traumaPTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, college counselinglife transitions, stress management and drug and alcohol abuse. People describe me as a compassionate, caring, dedicated and fun person who loves what she does.

I walk into this profession every day because I believe everyone deserves to feel empowered and in control of their lives. Whether you're struggling with anxiety that keeps you from reaching your full potential, or relationship issues causing friction at home, I can help. My approach is collaborative and direct. We'll work together to understand the root of your anxieties, unpack unhelpful thought patterns, and develop coping mechanisms that truly work for you. For relationship struggles, I can guide you and your partner in fostering healthier communication, building trust, and navigating conflict resolution in a productive way. But therapy isn't just about fixing problems. It's about self-discovery. I'll help you identify your strengths, build confidence, and challenge the inner critic that whispers doubts. Together, we can work on replacing feelings of inadequacy and insecurity with self-compassion and a healthy sense of self-worth. You don't have to strive for perfection – let's focus on progress and celebrate your unique journey.

I help clients navigate identity exploration, trauma, grief, relationship challenges (familial or intimate), and major life transitions—like adjusting to adulthood or stepping into a more authentic sense of self. These liminal, in-between stages can be tricky to navigate and are often marked by anxiety, depression, or a fragmented sense of self, leaving folks feeling emotionally untethered. While we must lead ourselves to authenticity, it can help to have a thoughtful, attuned guide who walks alongside us—offering new perspectives, practical coping skills, and questions that gently challenge deep-rooted assumptions. I enjoy working with young adults on the precipice of independence, older adults facing aging-related transitions, couples, and folks with marginalized or liminal (Biracial, Bicultural, nonbinary, genderqueer, etc.) identities. Together, we reduce fear, shame, and relational distress, while cultivating authenticity, inner wisdom, and emotional resilience. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable and unfamiliar. If you're unsure whether we'd be a good fit, I'm happy to meet with you, answer any questions, and elaborate on my approach to therapy. You're not alone in taking this first step—and you don’t have to do it without support.
