I believe good therapy should feel less like being analyzed from a distance and more like sitting with someone who genuinely sees you, gets you, and is willing to help you untangle the hard things alongside you.

With more than 25 years of clinical experience, I work best with people who are thoughtful, self-aware, emotionally intelligent, and completely exhausted from carrying too much for too long. Many of my clients are the ones others depend on-caretakers (I see you, ‘Sandwich Generation’), overthinkers, deep feelers, high achievers, people navigating complicated relationships, invisible mental loads, burnout, grief, trauma, neurodivergence, identity exploration, or the loneliness that can come from always being the one people lean on.

I believe people make sense within the context of their experiences, even the parts of themselves they judge most harshly. Therapy with me is not about fixing you, pathologizing you, or teaching you how to become some perfectly optimized version of yourself. It’s about helping you better understand your patterns, your nervous system, your relationships, your story, and the ways you learned to survive that may or may not continue to serve you.

My style is warm, relational, collaborative, and authentic. I’m not a blank-slate therapist who hides behind clinical distance or carefully polished therapy speak. I show up as an engaged human being who is compassionate, emotionally attuned, honest, and direct when needed. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is the basis of the healing process, and that meaningful change happens when people feel safe enough to be fully themselves without fear of judgment or shame.

I also know healing is rarely neat or linear. Sometimes therapy looks like processing trauma or grief. Sometimes it looks like learning how to stop abandoning yourself in relationships. Sometimes it looks like realizing you’re burned out from spending years taking care of everyone else while ignoring your own needs. Other times, it looks like laughing at the absurdity of trying to function as a human being while juggling work, relationships, caregiving, family dynamics, and approximately seventeen competing responsibilities at once.

My clinical approach is integrative and individualized, drawing from Client Centered, Strengths Based, Interpersonal, and Attachment perspectives. I am a Trauma- informed practitioner who uses multiple modalities to help people cope with situational, developmental, relational, and complex trauma using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Trama Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Somatic interventions based on individual needs.

Throughout my career, I have worked in university counseling centers, community mental health, and private practice with individuals and couples. I have extensive experience working with profound grief and loss, complex trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders, ADHD and neurodivergence, women’s issues (pregnancy, postpartum, pmdd, fertility issues, menopause), LGBTQIA+ clients, and individuals living with HIV/AIDS. I proudly provide affirming and inclusive care and believe understanding identity, culture, intersectionality, and lived experience is essential to meaningful therapeutic work.

If you are looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, honesty, humor, insight, and genuine care-while also helping you untangle the deeper patterns underneath the surface- I would be honored to be part of that process with you.
