Life isn’t always easy. Even the strongest among us need help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Whether you struggle with substance use, disordered eating, athlete or professional related issues or any other concern, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow!
I’ve spent the last decade+ working with elite performers (athletes, professionals high achievers, and students) as they navigate mental health challenges in order to perform in all aspects of their lives. I specialize in working with substance use/addiction, eating disorders, and elite performers but work with individuals on a range of presenting concerns.
I strive to create a therapeutic environment where individuals can explore all aspects of themselves. Utilizing an integrative approach to psychotherapy, I place emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and the unique needs of the people I work with. I view therapy as a collaborative space to navigate the inevitable complexities that arise during a lifetime, exploring both conscious and unconscious narratives with curiosity and care.
We'll work together to heal your insecure attachment.
Insecure attachment presents the following ways:
1. Difficult in relationships (being too clingy, or being too distant, compulsive care-taking, excessive self-reliance )
2. Disturbed sense of self (Poor self-esteem, poor self-agency, poor self definition)
3. Problems with emotional self-regulation (anxiety, social anxiety, inability to know what you are feeling)
As a team, we will identify your issues, understand them, and then create an emotionally corrective experience to help you heal deeply.

Welcome, I hope we can meet and work together to help you feel empowered, learn new ways to cope, and find fulfillment in your own story. I get how hard it can be to feel stuck with the struggles in life that never seem to go away or improve, and I believe change is possible. I specialize in supporting people surrounding difficult life transitions and grief/loss and help clients reduce anxiety, depression, and stress so that they can take steps to live life more aligned with their values. Examples include supporting clients with baby loss or miscarriage, anticipatory grief, health concerns, relationship changes such as divorce, and secondary trauma. My offering is solutions-focused and strengths-based and includes mindfulness as well as practical skills for self-care and self-compassion. I believe you have the wisdom within you and that you are strong and brave no matter how difficult things seem to you at this point in time. Let's work together - please feel free to reach out to me and we can talk.
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.
Marriage and Family Therapist, Woodland Counseling
I invite you to join with me in your journey of creating meaningful change in your life. We all face difficult life challenges at some point, and receiving compassion and support can make all the difference. Whether you or a family member have encountered a recent challenge that has led you "off course" or if you have experienced a lifetime of pain, we can work together to develop healthier patterns of thoughts, feelings, behaviors and interactions to increase inner peace. I will support you in reaching your own definition of success.

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 truly believe that anyone can benefit from therapy no matter what you are struggling with, celebrating, or conflicted about. I’m committed to helping individuals be their best selves by providing a comforting and safe environment where you can explore anything you are looking for support with. Whatever your life situation is, you don't have to manage it alone. We can unpack it together. My goal as a psychotherapist is to bring out an individual's ability to thrive at their utmost potential. I combine a personalized therapeutic approach with evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy. These practices enhance one's ability to challenge destructive thinking, utilize strengths, and overcome the feeling of being defined by their struggles.
