Often our feelings of sadness, shut down, or overwhelm are signals that something important needs our attention. If you are often fearful of getting stuck in your emotions or worry you don’t know what to do with your emotions when they arise, then therapy can provide a supportive environment to gain more clarity and insight to your emotional patterns and unmet needs. People pleasing, perfectionism, and procrastination patterns can be healed through exploring the triggers we have in the present and the root of those triggers in our past. In therapy, I prioritize your sense of safety, connection, and autonomy.

Hello! I am a fully-licensed Psychologist with about 20 years of clinical experience treating children, teens, families, and adults. I specialize in treating anxiety and its related disorders. I use an evidence-based approach called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which has been shown to be the most effective form of therapy for anxiety. I completed my doctoral training at West Virginia University, my internship at Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, and a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School.

Looking for a therapist takes a lot of courage. Whatever it is that has motivated you to take this step, I'm glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in anxiety, relationships and trauma. As a therapist I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore areas of pain and move towards integrative healing. With clients I spend time unpacking things like anger, shame, people-pleasing and perfectionism, processing how early childhood experiences and family dynamics impact current relationships, and exploring how to safely connect with, care for and communicate emotions.

Trauma and challenges are something we have all faced at some point in our lives. Everyone tells you to go to therapy and heal but sometimes " healing" doesn't feel all that easy. Sometimes you have no idea where to start but know you need to. Sometimes it feels like falling backwards when you’re trying to move forward. Sometimes it feels like needing support but not knowing how to ask for it. Have these thoughts crossed your mind? I know they have crossed mine. You deserve the peace of mind you are seeking. Are you ready to take that step today?

Clients often seek therapy when they or their children are experiencing distress and/or want to better understand themselves and their relationships with others and their environment. I view each client as unique and seek to gain an in-depth understanding of their life and experiences and how they impact current difficulties. Using an integrated approach to therapy and intervention, I believe in the role of a strong therapeutic relationship, working collaboratively to understand concerns, identify goals, and develop skills and knowledge leading to more adaptive functioning and improved quality of life.

The pursuit of wellness, peace, stability, and self-actualization in such fraught and unsettling times can often feel like a futile task. If you have found yourself wondering, "am I broken, or is the world broken?", rest assured you aren't alone. When seeking mental health support it's important to know that your therapist sees you not just as a cluster of symptoms and deficits, but a person trying their best to survive in a changing and sometimes hostile world.
