I can help you start the process of exploring your core wounds and beliefs and heal them in a safe and slow process using a holistic model called IFS (internal family systems).

Do you worry about not being able to regulate your anxiety and not having enough moments of peace and tranquility in your mind? Do you continue to be in relationships that aren't healthy for you and are not sure why you usually end up with the wrong partner? Do you want to learn about your attachment style and how it impacts your relationships, and your relationship with yourself and your levels of anxiety? Are you ready for a change in your life?

Depending on client's presenting issue, my treatment approach varies from concrete problem solving, using mindfulness, parts-Internal Family Systems model, Hypnosis, Holotropic Breathwork, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and Psychodynamic Integration.
In my practice, by face to face sessions or by using online Telehealth confidential therapy, I work with clients to feel comfortable and to form a bond, based on trust, that will foster a relaxed positive therapeutic interaction. It is important to me that, from the very first session, the client can communicate his or her story and feels heard, so that I can understand the presenting issues, communicate hope, and formulate mutually agreeable goals to achieve in our work together.

I utilize a mindfulness approach and incorporate cbt, dbt, narrative and family systems theory.
Hello, I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families I specialize in treating anxiety and depression. I have experience working with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I also enjoy working with teenage and younger clients. I see many people who are going through life transitions. When one is going through grief and loss, education challenges, relationship difficulties, a new family member, pain or illness, it can be particularly difficult to cope and particularly beneficial to be in therapy to work through these issues with an unbiased ear. I also specialize in working with individuals who have struggles with chronic pain.

I primarily work with Internal Family Systems, a non-judgemental, transformative model of self-understanding & healing that really works.
You may be here because your life is feeling pretty messy right now, overwhelming, and hard. Or maybe you’re feeling stuck and you don’t know how to get unstuck. Or past experiences and past trauma affect your daily life and your relationships. Or perhaps your relationship is not where you want it to be, and you long for it to be better..but you don’t know what to do next. Would you like to finally feel less overwhelmed and actually experience getting unstuck, so that you can see yourself in a different light? With a clearer perspective, that feels empowering, accepting and self-loving, with more calmness, balance and ease?

Behavioral and emotional problems that crop up in the first decade of life are often very treatable, and taking action early can help put your child on a better path for the future.

Throughout almost 35 years as a clinical psychologist, I've been impressed that the emotional suffering affecting us all, at times, has such universal causes. Insecurities and shame connected to childhood experiences over which we've had no control can take root, damaging self-esteem and emerging in symptoms of depression, anxiety and self-destructive behavior patterns. Even without overwhelming childhood stressors, feelings of inadequacy, and once self-protective, now limiting "chains" of feeling/thinking/reacting can interfere with realizing dreams, weathering losses and meeting new life challenges in the areas of love and work.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
