About

Life brings unique challenges at every stage. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationship changes, identity shifts, parenting stress, religious or political-related struggles, career transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed by change, it can feel like the ground has shifted beneath you. You may notice anxiety, irritability, disconnection, rumination, or difficulty moving forward. Change — even good change — can feel like loss. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I help teens, adults, and couples build practical tools to manage emotions, improve communication, and move forward with confidence. My approach integrates behavioral strategies (CBT), emotional focused (EFT and REBT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), and motivational interviewing. Together, we identify what’s keeping you stuck, clarify what matte I work with LGBTQ+ clients and those navigating life-stage transitions, gender dysphoria, chronic pain, adjustment, anxiety, depression, couples and sexual concerns, trauma, and substance use. You deserve informed, collaborative, actionable support. When you’re ready to feel capable again, I’m here
