I am a Clinical Psychologist offering IN-PERSON and telehealth appointments. As a real person in the room, my clients receive a level of education and caring that opens the door to their healing and progress.

Is early trauma or family of origin issues effecting your present relationships? Is your relationship or codependency turning your life upside down? Are you having difficulty saying no or setting boundaries? Are you suffering with anxiety, depression. trauma, an anxious or avoidant attachment style? Are you trying to break free from a toxic, codependent, abusive, or narcissistic relationship? Or are you just stuck in your life? If you answered YES, to any of these questions, I am here to help. Whether seeking individual or couple counseling, I can help you heal from the past so you can live a more fulfilling life now.

Therapy is a sacred space and my focus is on helping you get to the root cause of your struggles. I find healthy relationships are the key for psychological, physical, and spiritual health. I provide awareness into your behaviors, and the ability to see the underlying issues of why you're unsatisfied with your life. If you're having difficulty regulating your emotions when it comes to romantic relationships, or feel that you find yourself in the same relationship, then you have found the right page. I will help you get to the core of these issues, and find yourself content with your personal relationships.

You can't remember the last time you felt truly connected to your partner. You're hiding behind "busy" because your efforts to have meaningful connection and communication always turn into an argument or a misunderstanding, so why bother? All the responsibilities of life have forced you to let your relationship (and especially your sex life) fall farther and farther down your priority list. There's pain and hurt feelings and resentment between you, and you don't know how to mend the damage. You're feeling helpless, hopeless, and exhausted.

The therapeutic relationship can be an invaluable opportunity to foster growth, take intelligent risks, and rewrite unhelpful narratives. Often the most important and difficult changes in life are internal. Moreover, the most critical changes can begin with the acceptance of a painful reality. Sometimes it is helpful to explore these realities with a supportive individual who has some distance from the situation. I find the most successful clients are curious about their own beliefs and feelings. While they want to be challenged, they also believe in the necessity of self-compassion.

Right now pretty much everything in our world is being informed by anxiety about the pandemic. It’s possibly worsening old fears or sadness. If you had a sense of being disconnected from yourself or others before this crisis, social distancing may easily increase a feeling of being alone. Or living with a partner may make you feel the need of more physical or psychological space. It’s not surprising if you’re feeling a bit rudderless or without a psychological center. What you may need more than anything is a personal anchor, which is one way to look at my role as a therapist.

I have been working with people that are negotiating changes in their lives for over 30 years.

I specialize in working with those who identify as Third Culture Children. I strongly empathize with those who identify with multiple cultural aspects. I find that developing your identity while processing through all the layers of life can be challenging. I work with clients who are noticing how the negative events and memories of the past are affecting their present lives. This may present as addictions, relational strain, anxiety, stress, or depression. In processing these moments with a therapist, you can write a new story to decrease the intensity of emotions attached to those incidents.

In my years in practice the ideal client is always the one willing to effect changes in their present situation.

Seeking help amidst the sea of therapists out there is overwhelming to say the least, and one's mental health is so personal, it is hard to know who can help. Psychotherapy is a collaboration in pursuit of your growth and development. I hope to provide a safe and private space where you feel comfortable to talk about the matters of the heart that plague you. I believe you deserve nothing less than a respectful and ethical relationship where you can delve into the darker spaces inside that house some of your deepest pains and heartbreak.

I hold a deep passion for assisting individuals of all ages, including adolescents, teens, and adults looking to find more enjoyment and connection in their lives. Maybe you are feeling a bit stuck, unmotivated, or easily overwhelmed by day-to-day life. Maybe you know you'd be happier if you made changes but it feels safer and more comfortable to stay the same. It is my goal to not only understand the challenges you face but help you rise above them and start moving towards your ideal life with less fear and more confidence.

I am glad you have made it this far on your journey. Typically the clients I work with have had experiences in life that have been traumatic, often early on. They have coped through these but the wounds are not yet fully healed. Those memories hold power over their present and they are seeking a different future where they are feeling lighter, freer, more fully their true selves. They value connection with others and want to process the challenges that keep cropping up. Trauma impacts us in seen and unseen ways, and at certain points in life we hear our inner intuition - the need to feel heard, understood and guided towards healing.

As a former social worker and mental health clinician for 20 years I witnessed families going through extreme circumstances of mental illness, addiction, abuse, children with serious emotional and behavioral problems at home and school, and complex custody cases through the court system. This experience taught me the importance of the therapeutic relationship, building safety and trust, open communication, working with people where they are at, and empathy. I believe it is through this process of being seen, heard, feeling valued and safe that the healing process can begin.
