I use a warm and empathetic approach to therapy, which can be incredibly beneficial to my clients. My focus on creating a comfortable and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings allows me to tailor my methods to each client’s specific needs. I have 14 years of experience which brings a wealth of knowledge and skills to the therapeutic relationship, especially with my use of various therapeutic techniques in conjunction with my eclectic theoretical orientation. Clients seeking therapy with me can expect a supportive environment where they can work through challenges and gain new perspectives. Creating a space that feels comfortable and friendly really helps clients open up and explore their thoughts and feelings more freely. Coupled with my various therapeutic techniques displays my well-rounded approach. That helps you reach your therapy goals, quickly.

Do you find it challenging to relax and enjoy the present moment, especially in difficult times filled with fear and uncertainty? Are you struggling to quiet your inner critic? Do you have a hard time sitting with intense emotions, naming them, and expressing them to others? I work with female and queer clients who want to feel more grounded, present, and empowered in their lives. Things such as trauma, substance use, anxiety, and depression can impact our ability to connect with our bodies, feel our feelings, and experience safety in the present moment. In addition to talk therapy, I offer somatic therapy: Brainspotting (which is similar to EMDR) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. Somatic therapy uses a bottom-up approach of feeling vs. thinking. The body contains so much intuitive wisdom, and being able to sit with challenging sensations – in a safe and controlled way – can lead to better emotion regulation. Therapy can be challenging, so I strive to provide a light-hearted, non-judgmental space where humor and laughter become a part of the process. If I could be a good fit for you, email me to schedule a free consultation, or to schedule an initial session.

Are you finding yourself caught in patterns of people-pleasing, anxiety, or struggling to express your needs in relationships? You may feel overwhelmed, unheard, or disconnected—even when surrounded by others. I believe you are the expert in your story, and I offer a space where you can feel understood and supported without judgment. You don’t have to have all the answers or navigate this alone. I use a strength-based, person-centered approach focused on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space. You won’t be told what to do—instead, I'll help you better understand yourself and walk alongside you as you learn to trust your own voice, and reconnect with your needs and sense of self. It’s not easy to ask for support—especially when you’re used to putting others first. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or ready for change, you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can be a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported. When you’re ready, I’m here!

Are you feeling stuck, struggling to identify or make progress toward goals, or constantly fighting with critical self-talk? Are difficulties with executive functioning, motivation, or attention keeping you from reaching your potential and showing up in the way you want to with others? Are anxious thoughts or feelings getting in the way of the life you want for yourself? I help clients identify what matters most to them and support them along their path toward making intentional and meaningful changes. My therapy approach aims to help you better understand yourself, build skills for success, and develop greater confidence and self-compassion. I use an evidence-based, strengths focused approach to support clients struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, relationships, boundary setting, body image concerns, OCD, depression, and life transitions. I also provide psychoeducational and psychological testing for ADHD, Learning Disorders, executive functioning challenges, and emotional concerns. Reaching out for support can be a big step and I look forward to helping make the process as easy and personalized as possible.

I work with teens and adults who are thoughtful, sensitive, and often high-functioning, but are carrying more than others can see. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or feeling caught in patterns that are hard to change. My work is neurodivergent-affirming. This means I don’t see ADHD, autism, or other forms of neurodivergence as problems to fix, but as important parts of how you experience the world. Whether you have a diagnosis or are simply exploring, I offer a space to better understand your brain, reduce shame, and build a life that honors your needs and strengths. I also support clients navigating trauma, grief, religious or spiritual hurt, identity shifts, and major life transitions. I offer a grounded, respectful space for exploring emotion, meaning, and self-connection. My approach integrates somatic awareness, relational depth, and gentle structure to bring steadiness and coherence. I honor grief, sensitivity, and identity work as pathways toward clarity, healing, and renewal. I am also trained in Brainspotting, a somatic therapy and am working toward becoming ADHD-CCDP certified. Therapy can offer steadiness, a place to listen inward, integrate, and reconnect with yourself. It would be an honor to be a part of your support team.

Are you an undergraduate or graduate student always imagining the worst in every scenario and feel anxious and on edge, no matter what you do? You’re someone who is a high achiever, but you still find yourself overthinking about the smallest things, feeling fearful when you think about the future, and afraid to make changes. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself & your past experiences, and you’re ready to change your “default setting” and start creating new patterns in your life. You’re ready to finally feel like yourself again. I specialize in working with undergraduate and graduate students struggling with anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues understand themselves on a deeper level, grow in confidence, and make positive changes in their lives. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who “gets” them on a deeper level, is easy to talk to, open-minded, and down to earth, because therapy should be a place where you feel seen and heard. Sessions with me are non-judgmental and always go at your own pace. I’ll show up as a real person, challenge you when you need it, and be genuinely invested in you and your journey. Here you can show up as your authentic self to process and reflect on difficult feelings and emotions. A life where you thrive at ease is possible. You don’t have to continue to feel uneasiness and dread, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to guide you and help you get curious about yourself to create change, growth, and a more fulfilling life. Email me today! I can’t wait to hear from you!
