Sometimes life feels overwhelming—past experiences, stress, or early relationships can shape how you feel about yourself and others. You may notice anxiety, overwhelm, emotional shutdown, or challenges in relationships, even when you’re doing your best. Therapy can be a safe space to slow down, feel understood, and gently explore these patterns. I work with adults navigating trauma, burnout, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Our work is collaborative, guided by your needs, and grounded in safety, trust, and choice. Together, we focus on building awareness, stability, and stronger connection with yourself and others.

I specialize in intensive couple therapy to create safe, and secure-functioning relationships. I explore attachment styles (developed early in life) so that couples understand why they say and do the things they do. With my guidance, couples define mutually-shared agreements that will provide a framework for operating as a team. And with this shared vision, they can learn to successfully manage any disagreements or disappointments that life may bring. My goal is to help each couple feel they are safe and secure, in each other's care, no matter the issue. I am a Level 11 PACT therapist.

At times, we all benefit from a little support or a fresh perspective to help us better understand ourselves, our reactions and what we need. When we’re seeking guidance, we can often turn inward and reconnect with our inner compass—even when it feels unclear or difficult to access. I believe we each have the capacity to connect with an inner guidance, navigate life’s challenges with compassion, and extend kindness to ourselves and others. I aim to recognize your strengths and needs in a respectful, supportive way, and to walk alongside you at a pace that feels right for you.

Living in a capitalist society can often make us feel burned-out, chronically anxious, depressed and alienated from those we love the most. Too often, we are "working for the weekend", and when it comes we have precious little time to spend doing the things that bring us meaning and strengthen our most important relationships. There’s a huge disconnect between the conditions in which we evolved and how we now live. I help people to heal from unmet needs during development by uncovering and working to shift adaptations (now maladaptive). I specialize in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with Flowstate Therapy.

I help children and parents in high-conflict custody situations involving ongoing co-parent conflict, court involvement, or a child refusing contact. They typically come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in repeated cycles of escalation and blame, with little clarity about how to respond effectively. I help by quickly clarifying the dynamics at play, identifying what is driving the conflict, and providing practical consultation to shift responses from reactive to strategic. The focus is on clear communication, structured decision-making, and reducing escalation so clients can regain direction and move forward more effectively.

Anxiety, stress, anger, fear, grief, and depression show up differently for everyone. You might be feeling overwhelmed or isolated, unsure of where to start. Your self-talk might be very negative even if you're "doing great" on paper. You might be avoiding people and places, or struggling with conflict or big life changes. I also work with people who are having a complicated relationship with their body - maybe it's due to a medical condition, insomnia, struggling with eating, or trying to follow health advice that involves hard changes. Maybe your loved one is unwell and you're trying to provide support but keep yourself together.
