I offer psychotherapy to people who feel drawn to explore and expand their self awareness and transform emotional confusion and suffering. I believe that it’s in relationship with others where we are harmed and it’s also in relationship with others where we can heal. The therapy relationship facilitates a healing conversation because it is a place of safety where you can begin to expand your ability to communicate, develop your capacity for self compassion, deepen your emotional understanding, and increase your self confidence.

Recovering from the effects of parental narcissistic abuse often feels like you are trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces. You’re never quite sure of what to make of the picture, except you know that it doesn’t look right. Throughout your life, you’ve been conditioned to question your reality in ways that leave you feeling like you are somehow wrong about everything. You were told that your truth was a lie, that your feelings didn’t matter, and that your needs were simply “too much”. As a child, you adapted to this in ways that no longer serve you now, but you’re not entirely sure how to change these habits.

These are trying times and therapy can help you navigate them. My background includes work with those who have either hit the wall or feel stuck in the same old patterns. If you want to change the direction of your life, I can help. If you need help identifying your next steps, I'm here for that too. If your symptoms of anxiety, depression or loss are making your life miserable, we can bring you back into balance. And if you feel like you lost yourself somewhere along the line, we can unearth you. Just take the risk.

It is a given that by being human we must deal with challenges in life. How we do that depends on the skills learned and adaptations made during our growing up years. We establish patterns of behavior and thinking that often interfere with our relationships and happiness. My goal in therapy is to help others identify their problem-causing patterns and learn to use effective life-management skills. My specialty is working with the present-day effects of childhood traumatic experiences, with a primary focus on relationship management skills.

My mission is to provide a safe place for you, in which you can understand yourself more deeply, grow, and become the best version of yourself. My clinical relationship with clients is of the utmost importance to me. I never assume the role of fixer, but rather helper. Our work is in collaboration to find a path towards wellness and healing.

When daily life becomes overwhelming, we often disconnect from ourselves and others. As a therapist, I believe self-discovery and insight into one’s own process is not only necessary for growth, but the purest form of self compassion. With genuine compassion and support, I aim to provide a space, absent of judgments or assumptions, in which you can tune into your true self.
