I specialize in working with individuals and couples impacted by relational wounds, emotional overwhelm, and the often-overlooked identity shifts following traumatic brain injuries.

I help adults and couples untangle the deep roots of developmental trauma, complex PTSD, addictions, mood instability, and personality challenges. Many grew up in environments where they had to survive, not thrive—leaving them stuck, dysregulated, or disconnected. I also work with first responders carrying the weight of high-stress roles. My approach is relational and trauma-informed, offering a grounded space to heal emotional patterns, relationship ruptures, and identity struggles from the inside out.

If you want a different outcome, are you willing to walk a different path? Maybe you're feeling disconnected from yourself or others, overwhelmed by change, grieving a loss, or just wondering, "Why is everything so hard right now?" You might find yourself overthinking, avoiding, people-pleasing, or replaying that awkward conversation from five years ago at 2 a.m. You want clarity, relief, and a way forward that feels genuine and sustainable. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy is a space to slow down and make meaningful shifts.

If you are an “over” person - an overthinker, overwhelmed, or overworked - then you are one of the people I work with best. You are hard on yourself, “self-care” is confusing or guilt-inducing, you can get paralyzed by intense feelings, stuck in negative thought spirals, or find yourself shutting down. You may have been wondering for a long time how to turn off negative thoughts or let go of things you can’t change. The constant weight of what you believe you “should” be doing can feel immobilizing, and the endless fight against the “what ifs” is exhausting. It may feel impossible to move on or let go of negativity or trauma.
