Some areas of treatment focus are anxiety, emotion dysregulation, relationship issues, grief, spiritual trauma, religious trauma & recovering from narcissistic abuse.
I believe that every person has a natural drive towards growth and healing. It's what brought you to this page! I’m passionate about helping people to understand their emotions and reconnect with and trust their bodies again. I believe that emotions are this incredible built-in compass to help us navigate life in a way that is meaningful and in alignment with our truest selves. However, we have learned to disconnect from our emotions due to trauma, various cultural and familial messages around emotions, and because some emotions are too overwhelming to do alone so we disconnect to survive. Wherever you are at, there is hope.

Hey there! How is your healing journey treating you? Is it like one of those rollercoasters that drops you from thousands of feet in the air, spins you in circles, and makes you want to scream or throw up? Is it like stepping on a Lego piece that appears out of nowhere? Is it like an annoying hiccup that just won’t stop to let you take in a deep breath? Or is it kind of lonely and you’re wanting to talk to someone? Everyone experiences struggles in different ways, and I just want you to know that it takes strength to be vulnerable and reach out for help. I see you and I am here for you.

These patterns are intelligent adaptations your nervous system developed to stay as safe and connected as possible, despite childhood abuse, chaos, or neglect.
In our work together we move gently and collaboratively, honoring your lived experience and identity, and focusing on what is happening in the present. Therapy is not about fixing you, but about creating safety and support to reconnect you with your authentic self, deepen your capacity for connection, and live with more ease, choice, and self-compassion.

Most of my work involves working with depression, anxiety, trauma, losses, and life adaptations with early and late adolescents, adults, and couples. I have a strong experience working cross-culturally and including the family in the therapy if necessary. My approach is Existential-Humanistic with a strong Psychodynamic base. I may use cognitive therapy, and techniques such as EMDR, Play, Art, or IFS when necessary.

My approach in therapy is to respect each individual as a whole person. I believe each person knows himself or herself best. Rather than just treating the symptom(s), I attempt to get to know the person well enough to guide them into insights of the CAUSES of their problems. My ultimate goal is to help each individual achieve the healthiest level of well-being and highest developmental level of functioning. Whenever appropriate, I work with multiple members of the same family in order to strengthen the family and/or marriage.

Hello! If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you’re just trying to keep up with everything, you’re not alone. You might be navigating the impact of past trauma, feeling stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift, or struggling with the transition into adulthood after college. Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too much” or “not enough,” especially as a neurodivergent person, and you’re looking for a space where you can just be yourself. I’m currently accepting new clients and can often meet within the same week. I look forward to working with you!

Most personal struggles and relationship issues result from problems with the relationship with the self, rooted in relational injury experienced earlier in life. Therapy involves a dual process of understanding and healing the wounds we have experienced; and healing the relationship with the self. Identifying where we are off in our relationship with ourselves helps us to improve self-esteem; have healthy, fulfilling relationships; and take charge of the areas of our lives that feel unmanageable.
