Accepting new clients! (Self-pay only, not in network with any insurance.) I work with adolescents, couples, families, young adults, and women! Family relationships can be the most rewarding and long-lasting. Sometimes additional support is needed to help relationships flourish. I work with teens to develop coping skills and help families increase resilience. Growing up can be so tough! My specialties include gender dysphoria and resolving faith crises. In couples therapy, I utilize EFT to help couples repair bonds strained from miscommunication, disengagement, or unmet needs.

I welcome all aspects of who you are into the therapy room. I'll help you utilize the values, strengths and skills you already possess to help you break free from impeding thoughts to become your strongest self. I primarily use CBT and ACT with individuals. I use EMDR for reprocessing trauma. I also facilitate DBT Skills Groups for teen girls and adults.

I love what I do because I love people and I hate misery. “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional,” Haruki Murakam. Seeing my clients heal is exceptionally satisfying. I care about the pain you’re facing—whether it’s grief and loss, relationship/family issues, or intrapersonal distress, I will walk with you in your journey. Healing awaits.
