As a mom of five incredible kids who has survived complex posttraumatic stress (CPTSD), huge family losses, postpartum depression and anxiety, and chronic illness, I have taken an empowering path toward owning my story, building confidence, and purpose. My children show me the benefits of that in who they are, every day. It's not perfect, but it doesn't need to be. My extensive professional training and experience supporting parents, children, couples, and families for the past 23 years has prepared me to meet you where you are, keeping short- and long-term best possible outcomes in mind for your whole family's emotional well-being.

This includes neurodivergent people, people with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), autistic people, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), multiracial, multiethnic, interfaith, LGBT, and others who face challenges related to their identity.

Life can sometimes feel unpredictable. Plans you've made have fallen through, people you've relied on seem to be too busy to help, and everyday tasks keep piling up. My approach to therapy is focused on helping clients create realistic goals that support the lifestyle they desire. Therapy is more than talking; it's an opportunity to process and explore, in a judgment-free space, in order to build upon strengths and identify areas ready for change. I take a collaborative approach, helping you clarify goals, understand what’s getting in the way, and develop meaningful steps toward lasting growth. My focus is to guide you through periods of transition, strengthen your coping skills, and address behaviors that may be holding you back. I have been working from a client-centered, integrative approach for over 20 years. I focus on creating a nonjudgmental and collaborative relationship with my clients that promotes healthy communication and steady progress towards wellness goals. My approach draws from my training in cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and family systems therapy. Together, we can help you gain deeper understanding of yourself and develop the skills you need to improve overall health and wellness.

My philosophy and approach to helping clients is to do a thorough assessment and develop a treatment plan that is characteristic of that client and guide clients through therapy to healing. Each client has a uniqueness about them and my work is finding it and helping that client realize it and live in it. Perception is the key to understanding. Awareness is the key to realization.

I am always honored to walk with others on that journey for however long we work together, collaborating to find the skills, techniques, and solutions that work best for you, both in and outside of session.

I believe in the strength and resiliency of the human spirit and consider it an honor to work with people on a daily basis. My job is to create a safe and nurturing environment so that each individual feels comfortable and supported as they work on their personal goals.

I always encourage and welcome feedback in order to continually ensure that the techniques being used are effective and keep progress moving in a positive direction.

Understanding the causes of anxiety, depression, and self-doubt by increasing self-awareness is the key to effectively navigating life's challenges. I provide a warm and collaborative interpersonal style focused on open communication and integrity while also challenging you to explore ways to live a more fulfilling life. I work with people of all age ranges but specialize in adults in their 20's and 30's experiencing difficulties with anxiety, depression, professional identity, relationship difficulties, and stress management. I also provide initial face-to-face consultation for no fee prior to beginning therapy. I use a psychodynamic approach focused on understanding how past experiences and relationships influence current difficulties and have been trained in a variety of other therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and humanistic. I believe therapy needs be tailored to the unique needs of each person and think it is vital to do so in order to best address each client's difficulties. I do not see people as diagnoses but as unique individuals with a story to tell and different ways to deal with life's challenges. Making the first step towards starting therapy to live a more fulfilling life is often difficult and stressful. I try to decrease this stress by providing a clear process and a transparent discussion of any issues as they arise.
