Through my 20 years as a therapist I’ve come to understand the common issues that get in the way of peoples’ growth and success. I can help you identify what is getting in your way, understand what you learned early on that caused you to feel stuck, and heal from those issues to create lasting change. I utilize trauma treatments such as EMDR and other experiential strategies to help you engage in life and relationships with more vibrancy and joy. I am also certified in Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy (RLT) for couples counseling and welcome couples to therapy utilizing this effective approach for sustainable relational change.
I have specialized experience working with the LGBTQ community and provide a safe and affirming environment. I work with people on issues of sex and sexuality in a sex-positive manner. I am trauma-informed and understand the effects of trauma, both big and small, and have strategies to help people heal from those painful life experiences.
No life issue is too small for therapy. If you are looking to create richer and more fulfilling relationships, increase your self confidence, and learn how to be the parent you always needed, I can help you with that. I look forward to meeting with you soon.

I provide a safe, supportive space where you will feel heard, understood, and free from judgment. Whether you’re looking to heal, find balance, or simply just have someone in your corner, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I specialize in working with caregivers of loved ones with special needs/chronic illness, maternal mental health, and borderline personality disorder. I also enjoy practicing family therapy.
I offer years of experience supporting individuals coping with the stress that accompanies being a caregiver. I love supporting the interpersonal relationships within a family and helping everyone in a family unit understand each other and "speak the same language".
I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs, meeting you where you are and working together to create a form of therapy that feels right for your goals. If I sound like someone you could connect with, reach out, and we can set up a free consultation. I would love to hear more about you!

I believe that building a solid relationship is a key component of a positive therapy experience. I use a person-centered approach to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for each person to share their unique story. I work regularly with the LGBTQAI community and feel strongly about keeping this a safe space for all.
I have a passion for working with college students/young adults, helping you to work through life transitions, and am constantly working towards destigmatizing sex and the like topics. People universally want to feel heard, understood, and seen, and I aim to provide this for each person.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have a special interest in pediatric medication management, neurodevelopmental and genetic disorders, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and co-occuring intellectual disabilities. I regularly use genetic testing (Genesight) to develop a medication treatment plan that is truly tailored to each person and the goals they envision achieving. Consultation only appointments available if you have a psychiatrist you love but would like a second opinion.
I view medication not as a quick fix, but as a supportive stepping stone. Whether you visit us at our clinic or connect from the comfort of your home via video, I will treat you as a whole person, walking beside you to ensure your treatment truly nurtures your life.
I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over ten years of experience providing medication management for ages 4+ for a variety of conditions including anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, depression, and mood disorders. I take into consideration a comprehensive assessment and develop a realistic treatment plan with patients and families.

I deeply value the therapeutic process. My approach is to meet you where you are at and walk with you as you make changes in your personal life journey to restore wellness. My clinical work encompasses an evidence- and strengths-based approach in collaboration with your unique perspective, identities, lived experiences, wisdom, and history. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, safe, supportive and authentic therapeutic environment while supporting you as you create positive changes and move towards personal goals.
I’ve worked in a variety of mental health settings, which include residential treatment, community mental health and college counseling. I am passionate about working with people that identify as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, Transgender and Non-Binary.
I am also earning a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology and have developed a love for psychological assessment. Similar to therapy, I have a collaborative approach to testing. This means your thoughts and opinions are just as important as my training in testing.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of relationships and attachment. Utilizing attachment theory, relational dynamics, and some CBT, I will guide you in understanding how your past influences your present connections. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, creating a safe space for you to explore your feelings, patterns, and behaviors. I believe that healing begins with awareness and that building strong, secure relationships is essential for our mental well-being. Together, we will work to identify attachment styles, challenge thought patterns, and foster deeper connections.
My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, and trauma. I enjoy working with young adults, adults, and couples. For couples interested in pre-marital/pre-commitment work, I am certified as a Prepare/Enrich facilitator and can provide an assessment and feedback sessions.

Navigating life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when you're dealing with anxiety, relationship strain, or major transitions like starting a new job, entering adulthood, or adjusting to change. You don’t have to go through it alone. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we work together to help you gain insight, build confidence, and reconnect with your strengths. My therapeutic style is warm, patient, and flexible. I take an integrative approach, tailoring sessions to fit your needs while we move at your pace.
I draw from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and strengths-based framework. I welcome clients of all ages and enjoy helping individuals and couples through periods of personal growth, identity development, and transition.

I believe it takes a lot of strength to reach out for help. Engaging in therapy often means a willingness to be vulnerable. It's an honor and privilege for me to experience that space with clients. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, life transitions, or just feeling stuck, therapy can be a place to slow down and make sense of yourself, others and the world around you. I work with teens, adults, and older adults, and I especially enjoy supporting folks who are neurodivergent (like those with ADHD or autism), as well as older adults and caregivers navigating big life changes.
My style is warm, thoughtful, and low-pressure. I want you to feel safe showing up just as you are. I mostly use a psychodynamic approach, which means I’m interested in how your past experiences and relationships might be showing up in your current life.
I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). This type of therapy is commonly used for treating trauma symptoms, but can be used for anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and eating disorder symptoms. We’ll work together to notice patterns and build insight that helps you move forward.
