Now we, as a community, are moving into a new phase of living. I want to use my training to help my clients find their peace and strength to survive these trying and stressful times. My ideal client is someone who wants to explore their “negative” stories about themselves; explore your anxiety or find clarity of what they want in romantic relationships. As an employee at Process Therapy Institute, I have access to many compassionate and wise therapists to share their wisdom.

My approach integrates somatic awareness, mindful curiosity, and family systems to support lasting growth.
You don’t understand why your family causes you so many sleepless nights. You need someone to talk to but feel shame bringing up family issues or you don’t know where to start. You try to please everyone but you end up being the unhappy one. You cut off toxic family relationships but this leaves you feeling guilt, loneliness, and resentment. To prove yourself, you work hard and sometimes overcompensate. Past unresolved issues consume your energy, make you question yourself, and become hesitant to try a new relationship. You don’t want to be your parents but you don’t know how not to. You doubt if you can live a different life.

Finding the right therapist to work with is an important decision. The therapist's credentials and specialties are factors to consider, but perhaps the most important factor is "do I feel a connection with this person and can I talk openly with her about the challenges I'm facing?" It is an honor and a privilege to support you in your journey. I love helping people examine their lives, understand themselves better, and navigate their relationships more skillfully. My style as a therapist is pragmatic and I apply various approaches based on your individual needs.

You understand your patterns. You’re just tired of feeling stuck. Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful people who have spent years trying to understand themselves. They’ve read the books, reflected deeply, and can often explain exactly why they feel the way they do. Yet despite all that insight, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or the same relationship patterns continue to show up. If you’ve ever thought, “I know what’s happening, but I still can’t seem to change it,” you’re not alone.My work focuses on helping your brain and nervous system catch up with what you already know.

For developmental trauma, I offer NARM (connecting to aliveness & authenticity), parts work (meeting protective & wounded parts with empathy) & Neuroaffective Touch—attuned somatic touch helping the body heal early developmental trauma & restore a felt sense of safety.
Couples are my passion — Do you keep having the same fight? One of you gets angry, the other shuts down, nothing is resolved and you both feel more alone than before — there is still love, but it's buried under layers of hurt, distance and fear that things may never change — you deserve more than this. Drawing on EFT, PACT, NVC and Gottman principles, I help couples slow down, get beneath the surface, and understand what's driving the cycle — then build the safety that turns rupture into repair. Through attachment-based work and nervous system regulation, we restore deep trust and connection, so you become each other's secure base.

I want to help you open up new ways of thinking, feeling, behaving and experiencing life. I use an informal, collaborative approach. We set goals around what you'd like your life to look like. Then we lay down stepping stones to get you there, such as challenging self-limiting beliefs, building skills like inducing relaxation at will, or communicating such that people will actually listen to you.

Mental health challenges are due to the aftereffects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can place a strain on your family, work, relationships, and even cause issues with self-worth. I specialize in trauma therapy along with treating personality disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. All these disorders can look different from person to person, and that is where our therapeutic journey of empowerment and self-exploration begins. I concentrate on creating a safe space of growth and self-discovery through unconditional positive regard, emotional regulation, and guided activities.

Do you constantly overthink, worry about things, feel "not good enough," and feel like your life is dictated by that little voice inside of you constantly questioning, second-guessing, and assuming worst-case scenarios? Maybe it’s difficult for you to express your needs and it’s been creating stress in your relationships with your partner, family, and friends. It’s costing you emotionally and physically even if everything looks okay on the outside. You realize you have been carrying too much for far too long. You’re ready for something to change. To quiet the inner critic, feel calm in your mind, and safe to express your needs.

My therapeutic approach may include Ketamine Assisted Therapy, EMDR, Neurofeedback, and Somatic Therapy.
Mindfulness, Clarity, Balance, Growth. It is possible to achieve a higher level of inner peace and reduce unnecessary suffering. We all can "lose our way" at times and find ourselves in situations that are difficult and painful. I believe that these crises can hold within them tremendous opportunities for growth and strengthening. Although most enter therapy during a crisis, the therapeutic process need not also feel painful or traumatizing. I will create a safe and validating therapeutic environment in which to transform personal suffering into strength and wisdom, and collaborate to establish clarity and direction in our therapy.

I specialize in helping adults reconnect with themselves and create meaningful, lasting change through EMDR, Somatic Therapy, and a relational approach to therapy.
You may be the person everyone depends on. The one who shows up, takes care of others, and keeps everything running. From the outside, you seem capable and put together. Yet internally, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what you need. Many of the clients I work with struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, relationship challenges, and the effects of relational trauma. They often recognize their patterns but still feel stuck repeating them. Deep down, many believe that their needs matter less than everyone else's.

I use body-based trauma therapies that work faster than traditional talk therapy: EMDR, Brainspotting, ART, and somatic approaches.
You love your adopted child fiercely, but some days you don't feel it. Your body goes into fight-or-flight during their meltdowns. You're walking on eggshells, waiting for the next crisis. The exhaustion of carrying both your child's trauma and now your own is bone-deep. You cry in your car after drop-off. You lie awake at 3am. Your shoulders stay locked, jaw clenched, stomach churning. Maybe you adopted after infertility, hoping it would heal that wound. Or you're grieving a failed adoption. You worry that you're failing your child, that other adoptive parents handle this better, that struggling means you shouldn't have adopted.
