I work with individuals who are existentially challenged (anxiety, death/grief, meaning, purpose, freedom, creativity, anguish/despair) and with individuals who are open to work on attachment/relational/trauma issues from a trauma informed, present-focused, person-centered approach. We will work together reflecting on what has happened to you, updating your personal narrative, assessing a range of possible choices, considering potential outcomes, and committing to an action plan that achieves the most favorable change for you. Also, I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for those looking for or open to it.

My ideal client struggles with low self-esteem, self-doubt, and negative self-talk, often rooted in past experiences. These internal blocks keep them from reaching their potential in personal, professional, or creative areas. They deeply desire to feel empowered, build confidence, and take meaningful action toward their goals. They seek support to overcome limiting beliefs, develop resilience, and create a life they feel proud of—one where they trust themselves and feel in control.

As a psychotherapist, I work to create a warm and safe environment where it is possible for you to be seen and understood. In my work I combine insight oriented talking therapy, with more cutting edge Somatic and Energy therapies. I will help you explore your beliefs and unconscious/habitual responses that are born from your original relationships. In exploring the positive and negative ways in which these beliefs and responses play out in your interpersonal relationships, you will understand yourself in new ways. It is out of this context that healing can take place.
