The world is a crazy, busy, complicated and overwhelming place these days. You’re managing the stress of career, family, health, and relationships on autopilot — wash, rinse, repeat. You’ve got little to no time to think about your own needs and tend to put everyone else first. You’re complacent, but not really happy. You’re adjusting to a major life change or loss but barely have a moment to breathe, let alone process or make sense of it all. You feel pressured, out of control or stuck in your routines; yet you're unmotivated or scared to make changes or rock the boat. But something's gotta give...let me help you find your way.

We all have blind spots and patterns that may keep us stuck in a place we no longer want to be. With an understanding in many schools of psychology such as Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic, I have the flexibility to tailor our approach to meet your needs. My experience includes working with preteens, adolescents, young professionals, adults and couples. Clients tend to deal with anxiety and depression as well as stressful life events, low self-esteem, social anxiety, behavioral issues, communication problems, phases of life problems, relationship issues and pressure at work.

For far too long, you thought about perfect, you worked toward perfect, you planned the perfect dinner parties, you strived and sacrificed for perfect, you held up “perfect” as your ideal, you handled it all! You did all these because something inside of you say “if you slack off or slow down, you will lose, you will be a disappointment”. The pressure shows up in unhealthy relationships, overdrinking, overspending, overdelivering, over-everything! You are tired, irritable and you sleep terribly. Not anymore, it’s time for a change.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support.

I have the tools and professional experience to help you redefine who you are, and make meaningful change.

The best psychotherapy is a working partnership that honors our innate healing abilities. Within the context of a caring and respectful relationship, therapy can create opportunities to resolve past pain, balance emotions, and experience the spontaneous joy and energetic flow we were born with.

Do you hear your inner critic telling you, “I am not good enough,” “I am not worth it?” Does it feel overwhelming to experience uncertainty in everyday life and relationships? My work is grounded in the desire to help you create the most crucial relationship in your life – your relationship with yourself. I base my work on exploring the thoughts and feelings associated with the self. I provide warmth and support to people who are working through identity confusion or loss, gender and sexual identity exploration, grief and mourning, anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties.
