I see diverse people for a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, high levels of stress, life transitions, feeling stuck, chronic pain, substance use, grief, and relationship difficulties.
Are you feeling disappointment and dissatisfaction with your current circumstances, relationships, work, or the world at large? I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families navigating through heightened stress, challenging interpersonal dynamics, grief, and the complexities of chronic pain or illness. I often work with people who feel "different" and who may have experienced deep feelings of otherness throughout their lives. This includes children of immigrants, neurodiverse individuals, survivors of complex trauma/abuse, and those who identify with minority status in one or more ways.

We all suffer from varying levels of trauma and stress. If left unacknowledged and improperly cared for, the impact of these experiences tends to live on in our subconscious beliefs as parts seeking a sense of completion. They come alive in our relationships by enacting old strategies in new situations, expressing and feeling what was missed in those moments of suffering. These experiences can color our lives, shape how we show up in relationships and often leave us feeling isolated and misunderstood. Seeking support and understanding can help us break these patterns and find healthier ways to connect with ourselves and others.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through deep healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation.
My approach is depth-oriented, meaning that I am always striving to help my clients identify and work-through the underlying root causes of whatever challenges or themes they are in therapy to address.
In my experience, many persistent and challenging life patterns stem from early formative experiences that often lie outside of our conscious awareness. These experiences can continue to shape our emotions, beliefs, and behaviors in ways we don’t fully realize.

I work with people who process life intensely, who feel their emotions quickly, and who want a place where their experience is met with compassion. Most of us have had moments where we snap before we can think, or go quiet because it feels safer than absorbing everything coming our way. If stress and anger have nowhere to land, we will give them one. My focus is practical relief now and deeper change that lasts. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and burnout, and I also support high conflict couples who want to get out of cycles they feel trapped in. Above all, I will meet you exactly where you are.

I work with adults, couples, and teens, helping clients quickly alleviate high-impact issues while identifying and addressing the underlying causes of emotional distress and internal blocks. My primary focus is helping people break free from unhealthy patterns, behaviors, or ways of thinking. Together, we’ll uncover the barriers to growth, explore why they’re difficult to let go of, and clear a path for your best self to emerge. While psychotherapy can be a challenging process, I believe humor is often a vital component.
