My mission is to provide you for with compassion and clarity when you need it most. If you’ve been feeling hopeless or lost lately, or struggling with a problem in your life that feels unsurmountable, individual therapy could help you improve your everyday life. Individual therapy helps you win against whatever you’re battling by putting a real expert in your corner by means of a professional therapist. Sometimes you just need someone to listen to your concerns and help you problem solve, process emotions in a healthy way.

Connection and belonging are core needs for all of us. My priority is to build a safe and genuine relationship with you. My approach includes a combination of somatic work (body-centered practices), attachment therapy, and emotion-focused therapy. I especially enjoy supporting individuals who experience anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship issues, guilt and shame and self-esteem related issues. I also specialize in treating OCD using exposure and response prevention and acceptance and commitment therapy. I celebrate inclusivity, and offer acceptance and support to clients with diverse identities and backgrounds.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or unheard in your relationships? Do you struggle to speak up for yourself or hold boundaries because prioritizing your needs has never been on the table? Do you struggle with feelings of guilt even when you haven't done anything wrong? Do you battle with body image/diet culture? Are you contemplating a life that looks different than the one you are currently living, but don't know where to begin or even if you should? A great deal of the clients I see are struggling with these things and hoping to break cycles and forge a new path for themselves with the help of someone who will walk alongside them.

I have worked to create an integrated, evidence-based, and holistic group practice where my vision of the ideal environment for growth can unfold. The associates in the practice have diverse backgrounds, interests, and training. No matter what problem or difficulty with which you present, someone in our group can assist you. We have cultivated an environment of peace, warmth, and acceptance to assure you will be respected, unconditionally.

Pain is an inevitable part of the human condition. You don't have to go through this pain alone, though. Whatever pain it may be, I enjoy helping people work through and transform their pain into something more manageable. I enjoy working with individuals grieving a variety of losses: loss of a loved one, loss of a relationship, loss of a pet, loss of an aspiration, etc. No loss is insignificant. Although I cannot take away your pain I can promise to do my best to support you through this difficult time in your life.

Everyday life often brings about many joys but also presents us with many obstacles, challenges, and disappointments that sometimes feel unbearable and lead us feeling overwhelmed, sad, and hopeless. The way we think and process these events lead to how we feel about ourselves in relation to the world. I use a cognitive behavioral approach to treat disorders related to anxiety, depression, grief, anger, obsessions, and compulsions. I assist individuals with developing the tools and skills necessary to make cognitive and behavioral changes that can open doors of opportunity for change, growth and personal fulfillment.

Do you ever find yourself saying, “Anxiety seems to control my life” and It seems like the weight of past traumas is too much to bear? Coping with distress can feel like an uphill battle. It's the sleepless nights spent worrying, the constant feeling of unease, and the haunting memories that linger. You may be longing for a way to regain control, to step out from the shadows of past traumas, and to find inner peace.
