Hello! I would be most helpful to a client who is looking for a mix of practical skills, a better understanding of themselves, and to explore what they want from life. I work primarily with adults and I specialize in helping people navigate trauma, grief, dissociative disorders, and life transitions. I am also EMDR trained. I welcome clients who fear that their story is too heavy a burden to share, or who find themselves in a struggle that they feel overwhelmed by. I hope to help you heal as well as to answer the question of "what's next?" with confidence. I consider my approach gentle and direct.

As human beings we spend a lot of time looking to bring ourselves fulfillment, happiness, and connection. Sometimes though, we may feel that these are unattainable due to our self-doubts, anxieties, traumas, and fears that tell us that we aren’t deserving of these things. However I am here to tell you that you are not a sum of your experiences, you are not the core of the issue that plagues you, and you do deserve what we are all striving to attain. I believe that your true strengths lie within, whether they are buried beneath the weight of your pain or working diligently behind the scenes to get you to where you are today.

I have been working with families and individuals over the past ten years to navigate mental and behavioral health challenges. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, suicidality, Autism spectrum, attention difficulties, executive functioning difficulties, gender identity, and much more. I believe that it is important to be eclectic but selective, meaning, having knowledge of many different modalities of therapy, but understanding which one would work best for each situation. The basis of therapy will be a trusting, non-judgmental relationship where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself.

We all have the capacity to grow, learn, and make positive changes no matter what life throws our way. Psychotherapy is a way of understanding personal conflicts and creating meaning through self-discovery. It is one of the first steps towards achieving change. My style of treatment aims at exploring and understanding ways of thinking, behaving and relating to others that are outside of the one's personal awareness. This lack of awareness can often result in repetitive patterns of behavior that leads to dissatisfaction and emotional anguish in a person's life.

"There is no normal life that is free of pain. It's the very wrestling with our problems that can be the IMPETUS for our growth." (Mister Rogers).

Do you feel lost, overwhelmed, sad, or alone? Are the waves of life crashing around you? If you or your loved ones are drowning in the suffering caused by trauma, grief or loss, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, problem gambling, sex or porn addiction, substance use, or other addictive patterns, look no further. You are not alone and there is hope! Desperation of my own around these issues brought me to the point of reaching out for help many years ago and soon the seas began to calm. As life came into balance and I began to heal, guiding others out of the storm into peaceful waters became my mission.

My clients describe me as warm, direct, and easy to talk to, even about the hard stuff. I have extensive experience working in rehab settings and LGBTQ+ centers, and I especially enjoy EMDR and parts-based work for clients ready to go deeper. As a professional artist, I bring creativity and real presence into every session. I'm particularly passionate about supporting sensitive, queer, and recovery-focused folks who've been carrying too much alone. Some ways I prefer to work are collaborative and interactive, I reflect what I notice in real time. I believe therapy should actually feel human.

As a psychologist and personal coach, I view my work as a collaborative process where I join my client in defining and moving toward his or her goals and individual journey. At the heart of a strong therapeutic alliance are real trust, non-judgment and the balance of support and challenge. My own 20-year journey in practice has enabled me to more fully understand each of these important attributes. I believe that my role isn't to have the right answers, but is about having the right questions. My work remains one of the passions in my life.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re juggling stress, anxiety, relationships, or big transitions. Maybe you’re functioning on the outside but feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure about how to carry it alone. You want clarity, relief, and a space where you can speak openly without judgment.

Are you stuck in painful cycles of conflict, distance, or emotional shutdown—loving your partner but no longer feeling close? Many couples I work with feel exhausted, misunderstood, or afraid they’re drifting too far apart. Whether you’re navigating ongoing tension, emotional disconnection, or the aftermath of infidelity, I help couples slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the arguments, and rebuild emotional safety, trust, and connection. My work is warm, direct, and deeply relational, drawing from EFT, IFS, and trauma-informed approaches to help you start healing and finding each other again.

I typically work with teenagers who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, and family issues. As someone who grew up with a diverse set of interests and hobbies, but also clinical anxiety and OCD, early on I learned the benefit of having a trusted person to go to for objective advice. I try to pass on what I've learned through a life of ups and downs, and do it in a relatable and welcoming way. I've spent many years working in schools helping to normalize the private struggles that kids carry and I've found an immense amount of joy in getting to help both them and their families get to a better place.
