Meet Your Therapists

How I Approach Therapy:

Are you the person holding it all together so no one else falls apart? Do you have a hard time prioritizing your own needs over the needs of others?

Do you ever wonder if life is supposed to feel this hard? Do you wish that your relationships felt more authentic and supportive?

In our work together, I’ll help you make sense of what’s getting in the way and give you space to breathe, reflect, and grow. It’s time for you to experience ease, trust and connection in your relationships. I’m direct, collaborative and supportive — and I’ll gently challenge you in ways that help you feel seen and empowered.

As a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with 18 years of experience in behavioral health. I’ve worked across outpatient, residential, crisis, and substance use settings. I draw from trauma-informed, attachment-based approaches — including Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR and family systems — to help you shift long-standing dynamics and build healthier relationships.

I help adults & teens who:

• Struggle with unresolved family dynamics or old wounds

• Find it hard to set or keep healthy boundaries

• Get stuck in conflict with a parent, child or partner

• Experience substance use in themselves or family

• Over-function in their relationships

• Deal with the weight of depression or anxiety

• Live with a general sense of dissatisfaction or “something missing”

• Wrestle with painful thoughts of suicide or self-harm

I support coupleswho:

• Feel disconnected or distressed in their relationships

• Find themselves in the same fight over and over

• Are going through recent life changes

• Struggle with communication

• Can’t resolve conflict

• Have experienced a significant breach of trust

• Are seeking support during a separation or divorce

Social justice is central to my work, and I help clients recognize how larger systems and structures may be influencing their personal experiences.

A Little About Me

When I was little, I wanted to be the first female President. Spoiler alert – didn’t happen, ha! And while my origin story is a bit different from where I ended up, I continue to strive to make lasting, impactful change in people’s lives and in society.

I’ve grown to realize that change doesn’t have to happen on a grand scale to be meaningful; in fact, the most meaningful change I can make, is by touching the life of one person.

I strongly believe in the transformative power of therapy and the therapeutic relationship. I have experienced this in my own life, on the other side of the room, as a client.

When I’m not in the therapy room, you can find me buried in books – and yes, audio books count – loving on my rescue dog, Maslow, or planning my next great adventure to the beach.
