Iam a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who enjoys working with expecting/ new parents, supporting the parent-child dyad, and working with young adults experiencing transitions. I enjoy supporting adolescents and adults with adjustment issues, mood disorders, anxiety, social, racial, and cultural challenges.

Why am I the therapist for you? Because I’ve been there. In addition to being a therapist, I’m also a woman, business owner, wife, mother, daughter, and friend. I know firsthand the demands on modern women to balance family, career, household, and personal obligations. I know what it feels like to run yourself into the ground and question whether you’re really doing any of it well enough. I know the pain of trauma, divorce, growing up with an emotionally unavailable parent, and raising a child with special needs. I’ve struggled with anxiety, perfectionism, and feeling responsible for everyone else’s happiness and well-being. Prioritizing my own mental health and choosing to live with intention and connection to my own truth brought me a peace I had never known before. I want to help you find the same peace, healing and freedom.

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Calling a therapist can be intimidating; take a moment, maybe even a deep breath. Allow me the opportunity to create a safe and Zen space for you. Together we can begin this journey of personal growth and healing. There is no pivotal time like the present to take this step to elevate yourself out of the cycle of bad relationships, grudges, trauma, or being anxious/angry all the time. We will collaboratively work to obtain clarity through mindfulness. I practice from an eclectic and client-centered approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create a unique space just for you. Therapy should be an exclusive experience for every individual, family, and couple. Let us begin this process of greater conciseness and living your best life. Give yourself a break; change can be challenging. Let's work towards breaking free of old patterns, creating balance in your life, and your natural capacity to heal. Your transformation starts NOW!

Hello! I started my group practice, Water & Stone, to offer people a better chance to find the right therapist for them. I have been working for over 10 years to bring mindfulness and contemplative psychotherapy to those interested in gaining insight and living a full life. I can’t wait to hear how we can support you in making it through a difficult time or finding new meaning in your daily life. 

I am an anxiety and attachment therapist who creates a safe space to practice intentional vulnerability. I listen and acknowledge your thoughts and feelings throughout the session, but don’t get me wrong - I am not a “sit and nod” therapist. I utilize an active and directive approach to help identify and name patterns, behaviors, or thoughts that may be holding you back from living the life you want. Treatment may also include exploration of your attachment style by discussing issues in childhood, and how they impact the way that you show up in the world today. Did you grow up with a parent that was emotionally unavailable or dismissive? Was it intentional or unintentional? These are topics that we may explore so you can see how the past is influencing your present. My job is to help you identify what triggers your fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses, and how to soothe them. I help you see the intention behind your trauma responses, and remind you that your body is always trying to keep you safe. My focus and passions include inner child healing, reparenting yourself as an adult, generational trauma, and nervous system regulation. If you are interested in a holistic and collaborative approach to your healing, email me today for a free 15-minute consultation.

Outside of counseling others, I enjoy canoe camping in the Boundary Waters and going on bike rides with my husband and son to the local farmer's market.
