I have built a specialized practice integrating my clinical skills and credentials with my broad life experiences in corporate communication and product management in a Fortune 500 Corporation, commercial design, teaching, and owning a small business. I focus on young professionals who are facing relationship, social, academic, mental health, and professional issues, to increase self-awareness and make better informed decisions.

The goal is to reach a healthy balance of independence while remaining connected.

Life is unpredictable and challenging. Whether due to a life changing event that occurs in the blink of an eye, or circumstances existing for years or even decades, inevitably we all experience periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, isolated, inadequate, depressed, anxious, or even broken. Often these feelings are the byproduct of stress or even trauma. If not properly managed, the effects of stress and trauma will eventually have a detrimental effect on our careers, and, more importantly, our personal relationships and families. In some cases, our personal relationships may actually be the source of the stress or trauma.

I work with individual adults and couples on relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use and behavioral addictions. While we will have specific goals for therapy, ultimately my hope is that you feel more alive, embodied, connected, resilient and self-accepting. We start by building a safe and trusting environment within which vulnerabilities, difficult experiences and unhelpful patterns can emerge and new experiments in thinking, feeling and relating can be attempted. This takes courage, and it can feel risky to speak the truth, to embrace disowned feelings, even just to receive support.

Something does not feel right. You may be experiencing sadness, grief, or that your relationship with your body, work, or others is consuming your time and energy. Whatever you bring in, our priority is managing this pain and finding stability to make life more bearable. By approaching ourselves with curiosity and a willingness to explore and understand these patterns, beliefs, and experiences, we can arrive at lasting change rooted in an ability to interpret the world from this new vantage. My goal is that through this work you can find yourself in a space of increased peace, capacity, and potential.

“Change is the only constant in life.” -Heraclitus. This quote captures a significant principle in the human experience. Every single change and transition that we experience is both greivable and celebrateable. I am passionate about imparting support to motivated and engaged individuals, with a special focus on caregivers, first responders, veterans, lgbtqia+ folks, and individuals with alternative lifestyles. I aspire to provide culturally competent, trauma informed care to people in every stage of adulthood for change that they desire, or are coping with.

Have you ever felt like you’ve experienced things in your life that make you feel alone, as if others can’t possibly understand? Have you been overwhelmed by your trauma to the point it has severely impacted your mental health – specifically depression and anxiety? Your choices and behaviors are all deep-rooted in issues of the past? Do you just need a better way to cope? If you struggle with any of the above questions, I may be a perfect match for you.

Each of us has the ability to impact the world in a unique and powerful way and we are all born with the desire to deeply connect with others. Struggles with anxiety, depression, insecurity, burnout and stress can discourage us and keep us from realizing our full potential. Counseling gives you the opportunity to feel seen, heard and understood as well as challenged. It is through therapy that we come to understand ourselves more fully allowing personal growth, self esteem and possibly true satisfaction with the life we are given.

Supporting a broad range of clients impacted by the debilitating effects of these conditions - abuse, abandonment, loss, physical injury, chronic illness, terminal illness, chronic pain, obesity, work-related stress, relationship issues, etc. I have a uniquely-effective approach for assisting those impacted by sexual trauma. It is my professional passion and commitment to use the most effective and rapid treatment methods available to help clients achieve the highest degree of personal liberation and authenticity.
