I hold as fundamental that every person deserves to feel genuinely met. My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in presence: the belief that healing unfolds in the quality of the space between therapist and client.

I practice with a deep attunement to the body, drawing on somatic awareness to help clients reconnect with the wisdom held in their nervous systems, and their narratives.

Alongside this, I bring a profound commitment to deep listening, not simply hearing words, but attending to the subtle rhythms of affect, silence, and sensation that often carry what language cannot.

I approach each person with the conviction that being truly seen and accepted is itself transformative; I strive to meet each client with warmth, curiosity, and an unwavering sense of their inherent worth.

I also hold cultural context as an essential lens, recognizing that our histories, identities, and communities shape how we experience ourselves, our pain, and what healing can look like. Whether working across language, culture, or lived experience, I create a therapeutic relationship that feels genuinely safe, attuned, and affirming of the whole person.

**I am a Board Certified-Telemental Health Provider who is prepared to provide tele-therapy services**. I have dedicated my over 25-year career to helping those I work with achieve their optimal mental health. I employ an eclectic approach informed by my extensive training in multiple approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (especially Rational Emotive Therapy (REBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. My focus is individual therapy for those that are age 12 and up, but enjoy working with couples as well.

My approach is to form a partnership that is focused on goals that are collaboratively developed and mutually agreed upon. I am committed to providing a person-centered experience that fully realizes the skills and talents of the person I am working with as well as my own. I understand that rapport is the key to a successful helping relationship. Therefore, I offer a free 30 minute consultation prior to scheduling your first appointment. This can be done by phone, Skype, or in person. Just call to set one up! I look forward to hearing from you!

You might look fine on the outside, keeping up with work, showing up for others, managing everything, while internally feeling exhausted, anxious, or like you've lost the thread of who you actually are. If that resonates, you're in the right place. I work with adults who are stuck in patterns they can't seem to shift: overthinking, people-pleasing, chronic stress, burnout.

Life sometimes brings us moments where things don't feel quite right - relationships change, identities evolve, responsibilities grow, or the ways we’ve always coped stop working as well as they once did. Those moments can feel confusing, lonely, or heavy.

For more than 20 years, I’ve helped people move through those seasons of change.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who have spent years showing up for others - at work, in relationships, in their families - but feel uncertain about how to care for themselves in the same way. My clients often come to therapy feeling stuck in self-doubt, low mood, complicated family dynamics, body image struggles, or the quiet pressure to be everything for everyone.

I work with adults across many life stages - college students finding their direction, young adults building their lives, and mid-career professionals balancing work, relationships, parenting, or caregiving. I also have experience supporting military members and their families and provide affirming therapy for transgender clients.

Above all, I believe therapy should be a place where you feel respected, understood, and able to reconnect with your own voice.

I have had the privilege of working as an individual and group therapist in numerous therapeutic settings. These experiences have allowed me to utilize various treatment modalities in order to empower the individuals I work with.

I recognize that everyone’s experiences are unique and personal. My approach is tailored to fit an individual's specific needs. It is my goal to provide you with a safe and supportive environment to help you identify, explore, and address what thoughts and behaviors may be interfering with living a balanced life. Through our work together, you will learn helpful tools and insights that will provide a sense of well-being that can help you achieve your personal goals in treatment.

I aim to empower you, provide you with useful strategies for success, and ultimately assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and what may be holding you back from reaching your individualized happiness. As we work together, you'll never have to feel alone on your journey to self-improvement and personal insight.

Guided by my persistent and deep curiosity about the human condition, I now bring over 12 years of clinical experience to my work. Within a secure, collaborative therapeutic relationship, we work together to heal emotional wounds, strengthen inner resources, and integrate all parts of the Self—fostering a more meaningful, conscious engagement with the world.

My clients can expect emotional and psychological support, thoughtful insight and guidance, and skill-building, all in service of empowerment, growth and transformation.
