Do you wake up in the morning feeling empty, tired, and unmotivated? Are you struggling with issues related to your past, uncontrollable thoughts, anger, grief, communication, anxiety, or major life changes? Are you seeking a more loving, meaningful, and harmonious relationship with your partner and your loved ones but don't know how or what to do to improve it? There comes a time when help is needed from a licensed professional. As Maya Angelou wrote, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you".

I work with individuals who have experienced trauma during childhood or as adults. Trauma alters our psychophysiology (the way in which the body and mind interact) leading to a variety of mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, addiction and some personality disorders. My main approach to treatment is helping clients understand and manage their autonomic nervous system. When clients learn how to co-regulate and self-regulate, they can manage their symptoms, emotions, thoughts and behaviors more effectively. They also feel safer in their bodies which improves their relationships and sense of self.

Navigating through changes and transitions can be challenging. I offer a new perspective and a helpful therapeutic partnership. I feel it is a true privilege to be part of one's healing journey. My practice is inspired by Person Centered Therapy and diverse methods ranging from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance, Commitment, and strengths-based therapy. I believe that no two clients are the same, and that a practice must be an individualized collaboration based on mutual authenticity and honesty. These are among the compassionate qualities which allow for a genuine therapeutic alliance.

My approach to therapy starts with creating a safe and supportive space where we can build a strong connection. For many of your challenges, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand and change your thought patterns. When it comes to family conflict, parenting, and self-esteem, I draw from Arbinger and Adlerian philosophies to improve relationships and foster personal growth. For self-harming and stress, we’ll work together to develop effective coping strategies and restore balance in your life. My goal is to support you in finding self-love, connection, and practical solutions to enhance your well-being.

Sometimes life can get overwhelming and push us past our limits. This can happen as a result of stress, relationship issues, or past traumatic experiences. You might find yourself experiencing things like sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness and relying on unhelpful coping behaviors that don’t reflect your values or what you want for your life. If any of this resonates, I believe that I can help. As a licensed therapist, I use empathy and unconditional positive regard to empower my clients to pursue the relationships with others and with themselves that they want.

Life’s challenges—whether from trauma, ADHD, major life transitions, or chronic stress—can leave you feeling disconnected and stuck. Constantly being in fight/flight/freeze mode, caught in cycles of overthinking or avoidance, can impact your relationships, self-esteem, sleep, and motivation. You may find yourself exhausted, burned out, or relying on unhealthy coping just to get through the day. I help individuals navigate these struggles by addressing emotional disconnection, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-doubt.

Wellness comes from balance in all the areas of our lives: emotional, physical, social, and spiritual. Often things come up that tip the scales beyond what we can handle on our own. In counseling we work together to help you find that balance again, develop skills where needed, and move you into a healthier place. With a strong background in biology the approach to counseling is very solution focused and takes into account the natural tendencies and responses that may work against wellbeing. I work with couples and individuals looking at issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, sex, menopause, postpartum, parenting, and ADHD.
