At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

I am passionate about helping individuals reach emotional and mental wellness. My approach is centered on creating a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space for you to explore and process your experiences, emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. I believe that often we are unaware of the assumptions and beliefs that quietly shape our thoughts, actions, and experiences. By actively questioning and reassessing our beliefs, we can alleviate these mental burdens and cultivate a more flexible and resilient mindset. This process often leads to increased self-awareness, emotional resilience, increased sense of confidence, and more joy in life.

Aristotle said, “knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” Life is full of ups and downs, and knowledge is the main strength to manage; it is essential to enjoy an entire life. Mind, body, and spirit in balance are the key to achieving this. Therapy is adding knowledge to your life, but this knowledge is about yourself.

If you’re feeling stuck, constantly repeating the same patterns, and not getting the results you want, you're not alone. Whether it’s relationships, jobs, or even locations, changing the external doesn’t always lead to change within. The truth is, if you don’t do different, you don’t get different. And change is hard—it’s easier to stay in old habits. But when you put in the work to break those patterns, you start gaining different outcomes—happier, lighter, more fulfilled ones. If you’re curious about how to make those changes, therapy can help.
