I am an AEDP trained therapist and I help clients with PTSD, trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and adjustment to life transitions.
As a therapist, my mission is to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental relational context so that I can help my clients in the resolution of their profound sense of loneliness and feelings that "no one can understand their pain". Within the therapeutic relationship, I can help my clients in reviewing and correcting maladaptive strategies of self-protection, and in finding ways to feel safe in a world that feels unsafe. I believe therapy can help immensely in resolving emotional self-isolation, and in reconnecting with the resilience, potential, and motivation necessary to work at, and achieve personal aspirations.

I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step toward therapy, especially when dealing with the complexities of OCD, anxiety, or relationship challenges.
I support clients struggling with OCD, anxiety, or relationship challenges, who are ready to understand their experiences more deeply and take intentional steps toward connection, liberation, and healing. My clients learn to relate differently to intrusive thoughts, worry about the future, and overwhelming sensations of anxiety. In addition, they learn how to hear and listen to their partner effectively. I hope to be therapist who offers not just expertise but also concrete tools and a compassionate space to address these issues. We all deserve authentic and tender relationships and a life that feels meaningful and value-based.
