In my practice, I blend a warm, compassionate and respectful approach along with sound technique and practical experience. Clients find that the simple act of talking in therapy provides a wealth of information which in turn brings decisions about what to do. My special areas of focus Include work with abuse and trauma survivors, relationship and intimacy issues, work concerns, culture and identity concerns, chronic illness and health, and medical/mental health professionals. I welcome adults and adolescents to my practice, and offer individual, couples and family therapy.

The idea that one learns by experiencing and is truly capable of making the necessary shifts in their lives is a mantra I live by. When one person mirrors another with gentle listening, others are able to clearly see what no longer works in their lives. Ingrained habits coming from difficult childhoods could be the very source of havoc, that with conscious awareness, can shift. Perhaps the way one communicates is keeping love from flowing in your life. Maybe parenting a child who reminds you of yourself means confronting yourself on a deeply personal level. Or perhaps it is simply a life transition that is simply too much.

Throughout my career to date I had worked on a wide-variety of issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD and life transitions, among others.

In my experience, most people have a much higher threshold for difficult truths than they give themselves credit for. I'd gently state that I'm more interested in what you're capable of as opposed to what feels comfortable to discuss. I am analytical, direct, but also sensitive, and the work I do draws from deep psychoanalytic thinking as much as it does from practical approaches (i.e. solution-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy). My practice is informed by multiple domains such as personality theory, neuroscience, spirituality, science, philosophy, and the arts (i.e. music production, painting, writing).

You are human. And if you are reading this you are somewhere in the middle of living out a great story - your life. Epics like these have been written for thousands of years, and we find ourselves existing, uniquely, in a long lineage of dramas, tragedies, romances, and comedies. But writing our own stories can be, and most often is, difficult. We can get stuck in chapters that seem to have no endings, desperately wanting to turn the page, but feeling, somehow, stuck and trapped. In our modern age, symptoms become characters that speak to us. Depression, Anger, Despair, and Anxiety, to name a few, start to fill our story.

You’re smart, self-aware, and successful in many areas of life—but relationships are where you struggle.

I help clients who feel stuck in toxic or unfulfilling relationships rebuild their self-trust, break free from people-pleasing, and develop healthy boundaries—so you can start creating relationships that feel emotionally safe, respectful, and real.
