In my practice, I help people process and release traumas with an integrative and holistic approach. Anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma can show up differently in everyone and is not always as obvious as you'd think. You might find yourself in a rough season of life where your normal coping tools are not bringing you relief. Or maybe you are noticing old memories or feelings coming back that are starting to preoccupy you and negatively affect your relationships and overall functioning.

I operate from a client-centered, humanistic approach, focusing on aspects of existentialism, mindfulness, family-systems, multicultralism, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, while keeping careful consideration of cultural concerns and practices.
A question I often get asked is, “What do you mean by, ‘meeting your clients where they are at’?” In my work of helping people, I strive to subscribe to a compassionate and collaborative approach. This means that the client is part of their own treatment team. Thus, meeting the client where they’re at means embracing a variety of therapeutic interventions.

I use evidence based approaches like CBT, Internal Family Systems and EMDR, and for couples, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy, and the Gottman Method.
I've always believed that our sense of self is made up of stories- the ones we’re given, and the ones we tell ourselves. In my previous life as a film producer and studio executive, I spent years helping shape stories in film. Over time, I became fascinated by how that same process unfolds within each of us: how our stories - about self, others and the world- can lift us up, or hold us back. That curiosity led me to pursue a new path as a therapist so that I could help people reframe and reshape the stories that determine the quality of their lives.
