There’s a lot going on in the world and sometimes it’s hard to emotionally, mentally, and physically show up. You might be stressed out, anxious, depressed, or just overall exhausted. It could be because of friends, family, work, or overall life that makes you feel like you’re stuck. It is impacting your confidence, your self-esteem, and you might not know where it is coming from or what to do. It could be due to some past experiences that you’ve never fully addressed. Let’s talk, I’m here to help.

I am rooted in holistic and pragmatic orientations, and enjoy integrating empathy, psychodynamic theory, mindfulness, family systems, existentialism, relational cultural theories, and humor.
I believe that within each of us is an innate capacity to move in directions that better suit us. At times, we may feel stuck, having lost touch with what is meaningful and satisfying to us. Or, we may know what we want but are unsure how to initiate change. I provide a non-judgmental, supportive, and curious environment so that people can deeply and safely explore whatever brings them to therapy. My work aims to alleviate painful symptoms and patterns, increase a sense of authenticity and integration, and transform relationships with oneself and others.

I help people create opportunities for better relationships with themselves, partners, coworkers, friends and family.
What is often left unsaid is your step to a better life, so let's start talking. It's possible you are struggling to find or maintain healthy relationships, or when you do- find yourself unfulfilled, lonely, or involved in a difficult breakup. Suddenly, feelings of sadness and anxiety are keeping you from being you. It’s hard to know where things keep going wrong and how to move forward with feelings of sadness and anxiety- until now.

I use an integrative approach pulling primarily from mindfulness, EMDR, psychodynamic modalities, polyvagal theory, and Internal Family Systems in an effort to promote expansive self-awareness, authentic self-compassion, and improved self-care: catalysts to change.
I deeply believe in the healing process and an individual's innate capacity for transformation. With over a decade of experience working as a clinical therapist, I believe it's not about working harder but working smarter. Our goal is primarily to identify all of the blocks (namely old patterns, limiting beliefs, old habits, patterns of avoidance, etc.) that are interfering with your brain and body's natural tendency towards healing. This can show up as addictions, chronic pain, anxiety, or depression. Whatever you're working through, your system will guide us towards healing and, ultimately, equilibrium.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
