I work from an interpersonal frame of reference and use a variety of techniques including cognitive behavioral approaches in my work with adult individuals and with couples. I work with clients in identifying and changing patterns in their lives that no longer work for them in an effort to help them achieve greater happiness, peace, and balance in their professional and personal lives. I believe in people's ability to change and take charge of their own lives. I work interactively and supportively with clients to bring out their strengths and activate the healthiest parts of themselves to accomplish their goals.

I am a psychologist that works virtually with adults and couples. I understand that looking for help for yourself or your loved one can be challenging. People from all types of backgrounds endure a wide range of hardships. The patterns and coping mechanisms we have learned may not be working anymore. Frequently, it takes two minds working together, to identify and work through psychological blind spots.

Do you feel a void, unhappy, or don’t understand why you are the way you are? Or maybe you don’t understand why others are the way they are and feel disappointed in others? These experiences can often be a sign of disconnect from yourself. Often there can be a block or obstacle to relating to yourself which needs to be removed before being able to feel connected to your self and others. This block or obstacle often develops from experiences in life which may be obvious or not so obvious. We have the ability to feel calm, content, even happy and we don’t have to work hard for it… we just need to uncover it. I can help with this!

Are you feeling rejected, abandoned, humiliated, hurt, and lonely in relationships with your spouse, parents, siblings, children, and in social relationships? Do you think people have taken advantage of you & nobody cares about you? Left untreated, this rejection, emotional wounds, and trauma affect the rest of our life. It manifests in the form of sadness, low self-esteem, unstable relationships, occupational stress, and even health issues. Don't wait to seek help for emotional pain/ injury as you wouldn't for physical injury. Yes, it is not easy to be vulnerable but growth begins with vulnerability!

You are looking for help because you recognize there are some stuck places in your relationship. You want to break free from cycles in your relationship that at times feel maddening and even hopeless. When things are good you can be incredibly happy with your partner but when certain conversations arise you end up feeling frustrated like you are having the same conversation and will never be understood. You may have been reluctant to try therapy because it has felt manageable but you know your relationship could be better. You are ready for a new way of emotionally connecting & communicating with your partner.

Great to meet you! I believe the key to living a happy life, is learning how to speak your truth with grace & live a courageous life of authenticity. This requires checking in with yourself, often, exploring old patterns that aren’t serving you, tapping into grit & resiliency, and having a growth-oriented mindset. I am attachment based therapist who uses emotionally focused , experiential and developmental modalities. I believe we bring things from our childhood and teen years in terms of pain body wounds and having insight to them can create healthier adult relationships.
