I work primarily with adults and adolescents.
Daily life has become challenging trying to balance our families, relationships, careers and goals. You may be feeling overwhelmed, experiencing anxiety that won’t allow you to move forward and you just can’t seem to get out of your own head. Perhaps you feel ready to take the steps to improve your quality of life, but you don’t know where to start. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where we can openly discuss any obstacles and recognize patterns that may be holding you back. I now offer Telemental health sessions using a confidential computer platform so you can be in the comfort of your own home.

I work with adults and couples navigating existential and transitional moments in life, such as relationship conflicts, chronic illness, grief/loss, and complex family dynamics.
Maybe you've tried talk therapy and still find yourself stuck in a destructive loop of thoughts and behaviors? For true whole-body healing, you need a variety of cognitive and somatic approaches. My clinical approach is for clients to reshape the narrative of painful experiences by reconnecting to their internal strengths and the body's own natural propensity to heal. Through changing self-talk, old attachment patterns, and learning tools of nervous system regulation, we can cultivate new neural pathways that allow you to flourish. My hope is to offer you a sacred space to be heard, loved, and celebrated for your authentic self.
