You don’t have to keep
carrying this alone.
You're smart. You're self-aware. You've probably even read the books. Yet here you are, in the same patterns, the same stuck places, wondering why nothing seems to actually change. Together, we can get to the root of it.
I specialize in working with women in their 20s through 50s who feel stuck in ways they can't quite name. Maybe you've achieved a lot on the outside but still feel disconnected inside. Maybe you keep ending up in relationships that leave you feeling unseen. Maybe you've done a lot of "working on yourself" and are still bumping into the same walls.
I don't believe in just helping people cope better. I want to help you understand why, so the change is real and it lasts.
You can change. Really change.
Not the kind where you white-knuckle your way into better habits or finally figure out the right thing to say in an argument. The kind where something shifts underneath. Where you start to actually understand yourself, and things that used to derail you just... don't anymore.
Here’s what I want for the people I work with:
→ To feel connected — to yourself, your emotions, and the people in your life. Not by shrinking or contorting to fit what others need, but by knowing who you are in a way that real connection becomes possible.
→ To feel worthy — not because you've finally done enough, achieved enough, or gotten it exactly right, but because you already are. That's a hard thing to believe when your history has told you otherwise.
→ To feel safe — in your body, in your relationships, and in your own emotional experience. Not numb, not overwhelmed, just steady enough to feel things without being swept away by them.
→ To feel confident — your instincts, your needs, your own read on a situation. A lot of us learned early on that our inner voice wasn't reliable or welcome. Getting that back is important.
This is what I mean when I talk about getting to the root of things. Not just feeling better — but becoming more fully, recognizably yourself.
Therapy that goes
beneath the surface.
A lot of therapy hands you tools. Breathing exercises. Thought reframes. Coping strategies. And honestly? Those things have their place. But I've found that most people don't actually need more tools. Instead, they need to understand what's been driving the problem in the first place.
I work from an attachment and psychodynamic lens. That means we pay attention to your early relationships, the unconscious patterns you developed to survive, and the ways your past is quietly running your present. This isn't about blame. It's about finally understanding the "why" underneath the thing you can't seem to shake.
I also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma work. It’s one of my favorite tools because it allows us to process painful memories in a way that talking alone often can't reach.
My goal is always the same: to help you understand yourself well enough that you're no longer at the mercy of patterns you didn't choose.
I’ve done the work.
I know what it takes.
I became a therapist because therapy genuinely changed my life. Not in a tidy, linear way, but in the slow way where you start to understand yourself well enough that things actually shift. That experience lives in how I do this work.

Fit matters a lot in therapy. You want someone you can be real with whose approach makes sense to you and whose presence feels safe. That's why I offer a free 15-minute consultation before we commit to anything. It's just a conversation, and it's okay if it turns out we're not the right match. I'd rather you find someone you click with than stay somewhere that isn't working.

You don't have to be in crisis to deserve support. Most of the people I work with aren't falling apart, they're functioning just fine on the outside and exhausted on the inside. If something keeps nagging at you, if you notice patterns you can't seem to break, or if you just have the sense that there's more to understand about yourself, that's enough of a reason.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-backed therapy for processing trauma and painful memories. It works differently than traditional talk therapy. Instead of just talking about what happened, we work with how the memory is stored in your nervous system, which can create shifts that talking alone sometimes can't reach. It's not right for every person or every moment, but if you have experiences from the past that still feel charged, intrusive, or stuck, it's worth exploring. We'd always discuss it together before moving in that direction.

Sessions are $195 for individuals and $220 for couples for 50-minutes. I know therapy is a real financial commitment, and I think it's worth being upfront about that from the start. For a lot of people, it's one of the most meaningful investments they make. I have a small number of reduced-fee spots available for people who are genuinely unable to afford my full rate. These slots are limited and based on financial need.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I don't bill insurance directly. However, many insurance plans include out-of-network benefits that may reimburse a portion of your session fee. It's worth a call to your provider to find out what you're eligible for. I'm happy to provide a superbill to make that process easier.

It sounds more complicated than it is. Usually one phone call to the member services number on your insurance card will get you the answers you need. Here's what to ask:
Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits? Yes or No. Start here before anything else.
What does that benefit cover? Ask if it covers a percentage of the session fee and whether there is a cap on how much can be reimbursed per session.
What is my out-of-network yearly deductible? Ask if it's different for individual vs. family coverage, and whether you've met it yet this year.
What is my out-of-network coinsurance rate? This is a percentage. The number they give you is the portion you pay after your deductible is met.
What is my yearly out-of-pocket maximum for out-of-network? Once you hit this number, insurance starts covering your costs at 100%.
Are there any limits on the number of therapy sessions covered per year? If so, ask how many sessions are included.

It depends on what you're bringing in and what you want to get out of it. Some people come with a specific thing they want to work through and feel ready to wrap up after several months. Others find that as one layer resolves, they want to keep going deeper. We'll talk about it as we go, and you're always in the driver's seat.
A few ways
I can help
Narcissistic Abuse & Toxic Relationships Whether you've walked away from a toxic relationship or you're still in one, this is work I take seriously. You'll get more than understanding. You won't just gain a better understanding of the dynamic. You'll have real support in carrying the weight of it, processing the pain, and figuring out your next step.
Religious Trauma & Spiritual Abuse If the faith community you grew up in left behind more shame than peace, there's space to work through that here without judgment.
High Achiever Burnout & Perfectionism These aren't personality traits — they're things you learned, which means they can be unlearned.
Attachment Wounds & Relationship Patterns Whether you lean anxious, avoidant, the way you learned to connect early in life is still showing up in your relationships today. Maybe you're the one who clings and over-explains, or maybe you're the one who pulls away right when things get close. If connection feels harder than it should, there's usually something worth looking at underneath.
Childhood Trauma & Family of Origin Issues The family you grew up in shaped what you believe about love, safety, and your own worth — and those beliefs can be changed.
