This is your space to be you.
When you feel safe, supported, and heard - you’re going to feel comfortable sharing the experiences, history, and situations that brought you to our door.
Connection with your therapist leads to an openness that allows us to get clear on why your relationships follow a pattern or behavior that doesn’t give you what you need.
In creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts without fear of judgment, we can open the door to real change.

With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in guiding and supporting individuals as they navigate complex relationship issues. Many are family members who have loved ones that struggle with addiction. I help individuals and couples with addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. We work together to resolve unhealed emotions and break patterns they’ve been stuck in so they can grow in setting limits, building confidence, and feeling better.
It is my belief that we all have an innate desire to connect, feel heard, and be understood. My therapeutic approach is grounded in this belief, and it is my hope that we will create a meaningful therapy that is validating and encouraging, yet simultaneously challenging enough to be a catalyst for meaningful growth.
True Happiness and Stability Stems from the Quality of our Significant Relationships! I provide therapy for children, adolescents, individuals, elders, couples, and families. I focus on people's strengths and possibilities while addressing their real life difficulties.
I know what it feels like to compare myself to others and feel "lesser than", to feel like I need to be doing more to be good enough, and to feel like I need to hide parts of myself for fear of being judged. This creates a lot an anxiety in the body, which disrupts the sense of inner peace that you deserve to experience. Through my own journey, I have become an expert at helping people heal the developmental trauma and attachment wounding that occur for so many of us, and I can help you feel more peaceful, whole, and secure in your relationships.
I aim to help people see the narrative of what's happening in their lives, to understand how we can make meaningful changes that you want. I'm a big believer in the advocacy part of this work, being your cheerleader, but being direct when needed too.
As a clinical psychologist with a certification in integrative mental health, I have a strong belief that all individuals are capable of living full, authentic joyful lives. I believe that for many people, mental and physical health can be achieved naturally.
I understand how easy it is to identify the changes that we want to make, but how much harder it is to put those goals into action. Experiencing difficulties in changing behaviors or overcoming painful emotions doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with you; it means that you’re human. Therapy provides an opportunity for you to learn tools that support behavior change; resolve the origins of the behaviors; and receive support and compassion throughout the process. We can work together to remove the roadblocks on the path to your most fulfilling, joy-filled life.
I work from a client-centered, strengths-based perspective to collaborate treatment, with the belief that each client is the expert of their own life. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) interventions to meet client needs.
Whether you are looking for specific trauma-focused treatment, working overcome depression or anxiety, contemplating the use of substances in your life, or just exploring therapy for a stressful life transition, I would be honored to be a part of your journey.
