I work with adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anger management, anxiety, complex trauma, grief, infertility, depression, alcohol abuse and interpersonal relationship problems. I also provide support to individuals going through difficult life transitions, feeling stuck in life or struggling to find a sense of meaning. I am intensely passionate about working with survivors of childhood abuse and narcissistic abuse, especially those who are now parents wishing to break the generational cycle and not pass on their wounds to their children.
This passion was spurred by my own experience as a young parent, who found therapy extremely helpful in working through the chronic shame and emotional baggage that childhood trauma can bring to the surface, especially in parents. My approach is integrative and emotion-focused.
My sessions are basically conversations, unique conversations where I listen deeply and pay attention to what matters to you. In those, you will be empowered to take a deep and honest look at you past and present, to think of how you might want for things to change so that you are living authentically, and no longer disempowered by your vulnerabilities.
