Whether it is impacting life engagement, decision making or emotional capacity I work along side folks experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, eating disorder, addiction, grief, stress or those suffering with persistent or chronic pain.

You’ve tried to do all the “right” things. Maybe you’ve read self-help books, gone to therapy, practiced mindfulness, learned coping tools, or spent years trying to better understand yourself and heal. And yet, part of you still feels stuck.
You may find yourself repeating the same emotional patterns, overthinking, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, struggling to fully relax, or noticing that past experiences and unresolved trauma still seem to affect your life, relationships, confidence, or nervous system today.

There is no right way to approach this work: bring your self and we can work together to sort out the rest. Let's explore who you are, your challenges, what you feel, and what you need to help you to navigate life in a way that feels meaningful to you.
I have worked with folks struggling with a range of concerns and am looking forward to meeting you where you are at.

You may be juggling responsibilities (career, parenting, relationships, ...) while quietly carrying stress, self-doubt, or emotional weight beneath the surface.

As a child psychotherapist, my approach involves keen observation of a child's play, drawings, words, and behavior. Through this process, I help children verbalize the thoughts and emotions underlying their challenging behaviors. I tailor my methods to each individual child or family, ensuring an age-appropriate approach. Maintaining a neutral and non-directive stance, I create an atmosphere where children and adolescents feel free to express themselves without fear of punishment or rejection. This fosters trust and understanding, allowing them to communicate their hopes and fears ultimately shaping their perception of the world.

I understand and admire the courage it takes to reach out for support and am committed to respecting your time, effort, and trust. Our work together will be based on transformational approaches that quickly get to the root of the symptoms and concerns you are experiencing so that lasting change becomes possible, both within yourself and in your relationships. I believe our symptoms make perfect sense when they are better understood and, at one time, they served a helpful and protective purpose. Together, we will explore the unconscious learnings and narratives that are holding you back so you can get out from under your history.
