grounded. compassionate. empowering.
psychotherapy for humans.
Learn, heal, and grow through a warm, relational,
+ evidence-based approach to counseling.
Life presents us all with challenges at times.
Counseling can help.
Everyone experiences stress, feels difficult emotions, or faces strain or distance in their relationships. Counseling can help us to work through these hard moments with guidance and support. In psychotherapy, we tap into and develop our innate drive towards wellness and wholeness. As much as being human can be hard and overwhelming, we are wired for connection and co-regulation, and the brain is primed for growth.
Psychotherapy offers a safe space for us to better understand ourselves and to learn new ways of being so that we can achieve our goals and improve our emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. In counseling, clients learn self-awareness, and practice skills to reduce suffering, create meaning, and honor their needs and values to build a fulfilling and authentic life.
Hello! I’m glad you’re here. :-)
Finding a counselor can be overwhelming, so I appreciate your presence.
I’m a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York (LMHC), and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I am the author of DBT for Dating Workbook.
I work with adults (24+) seeking holistic healing and wellness, providing individual therapy, couples counseling, and DBT skills groups. I use a strengths-based and relational-cultural approach and bring together trauma-sensitive therapeutic skills, evidence-based treatments, and body-centered meditation practices. These, along with the understanding that our identities, communities, and social environments influence our well-being, serve to support clients in their journey of self-discovery, growth, and wholeness. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a consultation to assess fit.

Services
Individual Therapy
We might be hesitant to reach out for support, but we aren’t meant to overcome hard times alone. A collaborative counseling relationship can help us see how old behaviors are blocking us from moving forward, teach us new skills, and inspire courage to take action towards positive change.
Relationship Therapy
Being with a partner or partners requires self-knowledge, accountability, and flexibility. When we find ourselves at a relationship crossroads, in conflict with our partner, gridlocked on a recurring issue, or feeling distant, relationship therapy can repair our connection, and help us make scientific-based changes to create a secure and pleasurable intimate relationship.
DBT Skills Group + DBT Grad Group
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, along with a mindfulness approach from Zen Buddhism, grounded in the philosophy of dialectics, which teaches us to embrace the opposites of acceptance and change.
