You may be living with trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, narcissistic abuse, depression, identity confusion, or chronic relationship pain—and wondering why the same patterns keep repeating. Together, we’ll work beneath the surface to heal old wounds, build self-trust, and create a life shaped less by survival and more by your values, voice, and agency. As a clinical psychologist with diverse training and a longtime Buddhist practice, I help clients understand how childhood environments, shame, and attachment patterns can become survival-based identities. I work with adults, teens, and couples seeking lasting change.
My style is grounded, warm, and direct. We start with what hurts now, then examine the mechanisms underneath: the roles you learned to play, the emotions you had to suppress, and the ways you may still organize around fear, approval, or self-sacrifice. I integrate mindfulness, psychodynamic insight, and practical tools to help you live more honestly.
I believe therapy should help you become more honest, less burdened, and freer. Healing is not just symptom relief—it is stepping out of reenactments, loosening shame-based patterns, and building a life that truly supports you. If that speaks to you, reach out by phone or email to schedule a consultation.
