"My partner and I can’t seem to get on the same page about how to respond to our child’s behaviors"..."My fears are keeping me from doing what I enjoy and seeing people I love"..."My family feels disconnected"..."I am always focused on others. There’s no space for me"..."I seek out distractions to numb my feelings and quiet my thoughts"...I hear you, and you are not alone. Let’s explore your story together to find the places where taking small steps can lead to greater connection with yourself and others. I enjoy working with those who struggle with relational issues, parenting, and anxiety as well as ADHD, depression, and trauma. These issues can feel overwhelming, and it can be hard to know where to start when seeking support. In a non-judgmental space, we can explore these issues together and find ways to engage in small changes to make a big impact. I believe every person has the ability to grow, and I want to partner with you to foster the growth that will help you reach your goals. If what you see here speaks to you, reach out so we can talk about how I can help. I look forward to meeting you.

“I’m tired of being misunderstood by others.” “I have a hard time facing negative emotions.” “I feel stuck and unsure of my next steps.” “I feel like no one relates to me.” “I wish I was better at communicating my feelings.” If you resonate with any of these statements, I'm here to help. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore who you are, deepen self-understanding, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. My passion includes working with individuals to address anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues, and self-esteem. I value creativity, authenticity, compassion, and humor—and I strive to bring those qualities into every session. Starting therapy can be intimidating, and I’m here to make you feel seen and supported in a safe, warm environment where you can show up as your authentic self. If you'd like to start your therapeutic journey with me, please reach out to me via phone or email so we can discuss how to best move forward.

Since graduating in 2023 with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I have worked in various private practice outpatient settings, where I have specialized in treating adult women and men. I work well with those who might feel stuck in life, have trouble overcoming anxiety, are navigating life transitions, or wanting to heal from toxic relationships or childhood trauma. When working together, you can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental, collaborative approach, and a safe and supportive environment. My style is grounded in evidence-based practices such as IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy) to address trauma and build new self-aware and compassionate ways of being. I also utilize and pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-based therapies, and somatic therapy techniques for a holistic and tailored approach to managing anxiety, healing emotional pain and trauma, and creating a calm and regulated nervous system. My therapeutic style is to meet you exactly where you are at, with gentleness and patience. I believe change is possible for everyone, but it is often the narratives, stories, and unhealed traumas we have internalized that can make it difficult to move forward. In treatment I’ll help you learn to recognize these beliefs, to understand their roles, and cultivate self-awareness, compassion, and create a harmonious internal system. While untangling it all may feel overwhelming right now, I’m ready to walk alongside you in your journey towards healing and growth. My journey into becoming a therapist began with my own struggle with anxiety and identity as I managed various life transitions. With the help of therapy, I was able to find my way through a path that once seemed overwhelming. This experience deepened my commitment to providing mental health care and allows me bring genuine compassion, connection, trust, and empathy into each session. I look forward to walking alongside you in our work together. Outside the office, I enjoy a wide range of hobbies that help keep my mind and body active. I love exploring the great outdoors, whether I’m hiking nature trails or paddleboarding on the water, as well as indoor fun like cooking new recipes and honing my video gaming skills. You’ll also often find me curled up with a good book, most likely about world history!

With more than ten years of experience working with adults as a generalist therapist in community mental health, I look forward to partnering with you on your mental health journey. I have experience working with a range of issues, including mood, relationships, substance use, and trauma with a particular affinity for supporting my clients in navigating life changes, enhancing self-esteem, and supporting mental health throughout pregnancy and parenting. I strive to be an ally for our LGBTQ+ community and carry a social justice ethos.

Are you struggling with isolation or disconnection? Maybe you're frequently feeling sad, overwhelmed, or consumed with thoughts of past negative experiences. I'd love to support you. I am a licensed professional counselor working with adults age 18+ in individual therapy. My main professional area of interest and competence is helping individuals who have undergone various types of relationship trauma, such as sexual abuse or assault. At the core, my therapeutic style is client-centered and strengths-based. I strive to empower my clients to recognize their resilience and connect with their own wisdom. I have also completed EMDR training for those who would like to try this evidenced-based trauma treatment. I welcome people of all identities, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, size, socioeconomic status, religion, race, and ethnicity. My hope is that all my clients feel affirmed and appreciated for exactly who they are. I look forward to hearing from you!

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to hold everything together while also figuring out who you are and what you truly need. I'm passionate about supporting young adults and adults as they navigate identity, relationships, and major life transitions, with a particular commitment to affirming care for those within the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply unsure of where to begin, you don't have to face it alone. I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward building a life that feels more aligned, authentic, and fulfilling. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that healing happens when you feel safe enough to show up as your full, authentic self. Together, we'll explore the patterns, thoughts, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck, while also building practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your own story. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), always tailoring our work to what feels most relevant and supportive for you. Above all, I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. Therapy doesn't have to feel intimidating or clinical. It can, and should, feel like a place where you are met with honesty, connection, and care as you begin to make sense of your experiences and move toward the changes that matter most to you. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own experiences with identity and mental health, experiences that deepened my commitment to creating a space that is affirming and inclusive for others. I believe that growth comes from both insight and action, and I'm here to walk alongside you as you navigate that process.
