Did you know that the quality of your relationships is one of the strongest predictors of happiness, health, and overall wellbeing? If you are ready to move beyond relationship patterns that no longer serve you and step into a more aligned and fulfilling life, you are in the right place. I am a therapist grounded in relational neuroscience and depth-oriented psychotherapy, integrating brain-based, emotional, and heart-based approaches. With over 25 years of clinical experience and doctoral-level training, I work with high-achieving professionals, executives, professional athletes, and individuals navigating major life transitions.
I specialize in relationship repair and in helping you move toward greater clarity, alignment, and fulfillment by reconnecting with your values, purpose, and inner world—so you can experience deeper connection within yourself and in your relationships. Intergenerational trauma, early experiences, and current environments all influence healing.
Through our work together, clients gain clarity about the relationships and environments that support their growth and those that do not. Many heal relational wounds, release long-standing patterns, and experience greater authenticity, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose and alignment in both their personal and professional lives.

I integrate hypnotherapy with brain-based approaches such as Brainspotting to access subcortical areas that talk therapy alone cannot reach. I also incorporate HeartMath tools to create coherence between the heart and brain, supporting clarity, emotional regulation, and more aligned, intentional decision-making.
