As an integrative psychotherapist with many years of experience, I help people gain a deeper understanding of their internal struggles & create meaningful changes. I work on a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, dating & relationship difficulties, codependency, and self-esteem issues. I also work with couples to change hurtful & destructive patterns in the relationship and create a stronger, more meaningful connection. Some of the therapeutic approaches I practice are Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, CBT, Psychodynamic, and Mindfulness practices.

Because people are not defined by a diagnosis or demographic, I don't specialize-I individualize. I have extensive experience helping clients identify personal and professional goals while helping them focus on maintaining present commitments and expectations. Within a structured conversation, it is possible to address barriers-situational and emotional-and effectively develop a realistic plan for creating desired changes. I enjoy combining insight oriented psycho dynamic therapy with the goal setting aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy.

I believe in a therapeutic process that is collaborative and flexible — meeting my clients where they are to foster meaningful growth and change. I approach therapy with warmth, compassion, and honest reflection to create a non-judgmental space for self-exploration. I am passionate about working with individuals and couples who are experiencing emotional struggles, low self-esteem, transitional and relationship issues, and attachment injuries. My aim is to collaboratively help you understand patterns in which you feel stuck, find relief from narratives that are no longer yours, and learn how to move towards towards your goals.

If we think alike, we would agree that a good life is a life in which we are able to work, to love, and to play. However, in reality, many situations become barriers and prevent us from enjoying life. At times, we might even feel we can't breathe. As a devoted therapist, I will work together with you to remove these barriers -- whatever the cause might be: career stress, rocky relationships, identity confusion, past trauma... You need not face your problems alone. Over years, I have witnessed changes happening, wounds healed, trust rebuilt, and fear given way to courage.
