I frequently work with people who have a lot of moving parts in their lives. Whether you’re navigating traumatic experiences, exploring components of identity, or wading through overwhelming seasons of life in other ways, my goal is to help you sift through it all and provide support to process at your own pace. I'm comfortable navigating many of the other pieces that come with trauma work - mitigating anxiety, challenging intrusive thoughts, and creating spaces that make life feel worth living.

When the challenges of life and relationship present you with complex dilemmas and create painful or uncomfortable symptoms, therapy offers an opportunity for healing and long-lasting psychological change.
The power of therapy is in the way it expands your choice in behaviors or ways of seeing others, yourself and your life circumstances.
Through a compassionate journey of self-exploration I will help you work toward a fuller understanding of yourself which will lead to greater choice in how you live, love, work and play.
It is a privilege to join you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.

Many of us face challenges that affect all aspects of our lives. If you are worried about your health or the health of a loved one, your financial situation, adjusting to working from home, currently not working or afraid that you will not be able to work, dealing with increased family tensions, feeling the loss of not being able to see your family members, or the grief of having lost someone, you don’t need to face these challenges alone.

Therapy can do more than relieve symptoms; it can alter the trajectory of your life. Those who contact me tend to need help to face fears, abandon rumination/worry, confront painful feelings, recapture a sense of meaning, deal with difficult people, better stand up for themselves, resolve grief, navigate life transitions, restore a sense of safety/trust, and process experiences of alienation or social exclusion. I aim to deeply understand you, share my impressions when the timing feels right, and help you feel less alone in what you carry.

Living with anxiety or OCD means constantly battling fear and worry, with intrusive thoughts often taking control. There’s a deep desire to avoid mistakes and failure, or a compulsive need to complete tasks that your mind deems necessary to prevent a feared scenario. It can feel impossible to be comfortable or confident in yourself and your abilities. There's an overwhelming drive for perfection—whether in daily routines, schoolwork, social life, or your job. Peace and self-acceptance often feel out of reach, and the more you try to regain control, the more trapped and anxious you may become. There is hope in breaking this cycle.

Are you experiencing moments of change? Is this a time in your life when that change is bringing to the foreground feelings of anxiety, depression or grief? Life can get really overwhelming at times. Those times can sometimes make us feel powerless and out of control. You do not have to struggle alone. I believe times of loss and change can bring about self-awareness and healing. And that change is an opportunity to cultivate compassion and loving kindness towards ourselves and others.

Sometimes, even when we know that something is wrong, we still need guidance in order to disentangle the problems that cause us suffering. Every problem has a solution and every difficult period can have a peaceful resolution. My therapeutic approach primarily stems from Family Systems Theory. I focus on emotional independence through individuation and help individuals, couples and families gain additional growth, strengths, and insights into their lives. I work on reducing negative communication patterns and installing love as an attachment bond.

Lately you’ve been asking yourself harder questions: Why do I keep feeling this way? Why do I repeat the same patterns, even when I know better? You’ve read, reflected, maybe even been in therapy before, but the same issues keep returning. You sense that something deeper is at play. You’re not looking for a list of strategies or coping skills; you want to understand what’s really driving your struggles and learn how to create meaningful, lasting change.
