Sometimes life can be difficult to navigate: Does how you manage stress get in the way? Does the map you use to guide your life (and your relationships) need adjusting or do you want an entirely new path? Let's figure this out so you can have peace of mind and become the best version of yourself. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to reflect, process and heal your most important relationships, whether with a parent, a significant other or the relationship you have with yourself. I specialize in treating trauma/post-traumatic stress, relationship conflicts, infidelity, narcissism, parental alienation, parenting & grief.
As a certified trauma-trained therapist, I help both individuals and couples unpack how their upbringings impact their relationships while honoring their complex experiences and guide them in the process of healing past wounds. By investing in this process with me, you can rediscover and recalibrate the relationship you have with yourself & with others.
If and when you're ready for the next step, please submit your request through Psychology Today, call me or visit my website for more information about my services. I'm available for both in-person & virtual appointments Monday to Thursday from 9am to 8pm. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to talk about you, your situation and your availability.

I work with clients who want to or are becoming aware of issues originating from their past that affect them now in relation to others, whether a significant other, a co-worker or immediate family. In sessions, I will help clients navigate this transition from "auto-pilot" to "manual" about themselves but instead of it being like an on/off switch, it is more like a dimmer that increases gradually

In your first session, we'll talk about what you goals are for therapy and I will tell you my style as a therapist. I utilize both Bottom-Up treatment modalities (focus on feelings and body sensations first to affect your thoughts) and Top-Down modalities (focus on thoughts to affect your feelings and body sensations) depending on your preference.
