You deserve the very best therapist. Therapy isn’t easy to dive into, right? I get that! My 20 years of combined experience as a LICSW, Music Therapist, Somatic Yoga Teacher (for all body types) and Army Behavior Health Provider has given me rich experience with all sorts of unique people, and I’m not your cookie cutter therapist. I’ll be very real and authentic with you. I deeply appreciate pain and trauma, and how it can dismantle your life. And if I’m not the best therapist for you, I will be honest and help you to find someone who is. You deserve to have the life you want again, and I’m committed to helping you get that back.

These emotional and behavioral patterns seem unshakeable; they show up in relationships and keep you from feeling the joy and genuine connection you desire. You may be able to logically trace these patterns to an origin in childhood trauma or internalized oppression, but in the heat of the moment, it’s as if your body goes on autopilot, and the cycle repeats once again. These patterns have been creating stagnation and isolation that are getting too painful and exhausting to cope with anymore. As a therapist, my goal is to help you transform these patterns so that you can experience a greater sense of agency, belonging, and ease.

The fact that you’re looking through therapist profiles on Psychology Today suggests that you’re looking for some kind of change in your life. The status quo has you frustrated and dissatisfied. You’ve probably tried to change on your own, but the change hasn’t quite stuck. Each time you fall short of the change you hope for, you likely get more discouraged, lose momentum, feel bad about yourself, and return to old habits. It can feel like a hopeless downward spiral that can lead you to say, “Why bother?” But, here you are! You haven’t given up. This is good!

The past is just a story we tell ourselves. Through early formative experiences, we mold core beliefs about belonging, worth, and lovability. Therapy is a place to untangle the narratives we have internalized (perhaps unconsciously) and impact our ability to show up in the world authentically and connect with others deeply. Understanding our past can help us bring compassion and awareness to the present moment. Let us bravely explore the complexity and messiness of the human experience - embracing all that you are.

Some problems life throws us are particularly tough. You've likely tried to figure things out on your own; maybe confided in those you are close to - both of which can be very helpful. But there are times when it is valuable to speak with someone who is objective and trained in these matters: to share issues of concern or confusion; with support, without judgement, uncomplicated by the needs or agendas of others. I offer a space to be curious and reflective together where the focus is solely on understanding and helping you. This can provide relief itself and build the trust necessary to identify and address your wished-for change.

I utilize a trauma focused, client centered approach to work with those with a history of trauma (PTSD/CPTSD), anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and relationship difficulties such as family and/or intimate partner dynamics.

I'm also comfortable processing issues of systemic oppression, trauma, and racism. I am able to work with teens, adults, couples, and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am able to offer in person or live virtual sessions.

You’ve always had a sense that something crucial is missing, like a song stuck on a note that never resolves. Sometimes you feel disconnected from your authentic self, unable to put words to feelings, lost in a fog of uncertainty. At other times it feels like you’re too much for others and don’t know how to let it out without feeling like a burden. This existential dread has been a constant companion, but you’re sure there’s more to life and that some piece of the puzzle is missing. You long to remove this familiar barrier from impacting your ability to relax, to focus, to show up more as yourself in relationships.

I believe finding a therapist you genuinely trust and feel safe with is the most essential piece to gain from any therapeutic intervention. As such, I strongly encourage you to be patient with yourself and listen to how you feel when searching for that fit. I value transparency; my style is compassionately direct. Psychotherapy can be uncomfortable because the process involves approaching the barriers that restrict you. In our work, we will approach discomfort together as I believe exposure and empowerment are catalysts for true change and personal growth.

My clients are high achievers by nature. They often come to me because their anxiety and/or depression symptoms are being amplified by a present stressor like climbing the corporate ladder, entering their first job out of college, and making career or other life transitions. Anxiety and depression sometimes manifest in my clients' relationships with significant others and family. Some may even be experiencing imposter syndrome or struggling with perfectionism. While I do facilitate the therapy process, my clients drive the sessions. Our therapeutic endeavor is to help you achieve your goals.
