The healing process is one that you do not have to go through alone. I view therapy as a collaborative effort between the therapist and client, while still managing to maintain a strengths-based, client-centered approach. I take an eclectic approach to therapeutic interventions, utilizing techniques from different evidence-based practices to create individualized treatment plans that cater to my clients’ needs. My experience includes – but is not limited to – working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, family conflict, dating/relationship/marital issues, grief/bereavement, identity issues, and work-related concerns.

Hypnosis is not controlling people, as is often depicted in the movies. Hypnosis is an effective scientific technique that puts your brain function at a maximum level to help you best solve your troubled issues. In a subconscious/hypnotized state, you can recall any information even though it is deeply buried in your mind. With your subconscious mind, you can simply understand information that is given to you better than ever. Your subconscious mind gives the strongest support to your own will to overcome dieting or quitting smoking. It works, so I shifted my career to an emphasis on hypnotherapy.

As people, we have a deep need to be understood, and one of the most profound ways to do this is in a safe, trusting, and affirming therapeutic relationship.

My role as such is to help you identify your needs and put your inner experience at the center, engaging both mind and body, so that barriers to your well-being can be lifted. In my practice, I look to be responsive, collaborative, and affirmative when working with folks' intersecting identities and how those identities show up within the therapeutic relationship.

I am a clinical social worker with post graduate training in classical and relational psychotherapy. I work with people dealing with depression, anxiety, body image issues, self esteem, money, career, and trauma. Together we will explore the factors keeping you stuck in repeated patterns of relating. One goal is to be able to have new experiences and discover places within yourself that may be yet unknown. Some pain is inevitable. We cannot change the past but by becoming more conscious, we become better equipped to make choices that aid in transformation.

Difficult life experiences, whether they happen once or are ongoing, can leave us feeling isolated and disconnected, both from others, and from ourselves. It can be hard to find pleasure in relationships, hobbies, families, or careers, or to even simply just "be" as we are. I view therapy first and foremost as a way to reconnect and be curious about ourselves; to find a place of safety, connectedness, and support from which we can begin to explore who we are, how we came to be, and where we want to go. As sessions progress, I aim to help you find resilience, movement, ease, stillness, or freedom, wherever you may need it.

If one or more of these sound like the things you say to yourself then I am here to let you know that you are not alone in this struggle AND you can begin to feel better.
