As a dedicated therapist, my passion is helping individuals overcome mental heath challenges, and find their path to emotional well-being. I understand that life can be overwhelming at times, and whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or personal struggles, I am here to support you. I also specialize in treatment for those suffering from narcissistic abuse stemming either from a personal relationship or having to deal with narcissistic family members. My goal is to empower you to lead a more fulfilling, balanced life, and to rediscover your inner strength.
I provide a compassionate, supportive space, where clients can explore their emotion I can help you learn to set boundaries, assert your needs, and overcome emotional avoidance to develop greater authenticity and mutually satisfying relationship with others. You don't have to let you past define you as you can embrace wholeness, healing and self-discovery.
I also have over 18 years working as a psychotherapist, and together can help figure out a course of treatment to help you gain symptom relief. We do not have to be loyal to our suffering! Call me to see how we can work together to help you find a way through and create a new sense of hope and peace.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family of origin. I try to provide a space for you to feel safe and understood. We often "get up in our heads" and start to believe some of our own negative thoughts. So let me help you break some negative patterns to become your best self and find more peace.

I often use mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience.
