I apply a comprehensive and heart lead approach to my work with couples via Gottman interventions and Emotion Focused Therapy
I work with individuals experiencing PTSD, codependency, depression, and anxiety from a solution oriented and strength base lens implementing accelerated resolution therapy, internal family systems, and EMDR.
You might be feeling emotionally overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns that feel difficult to change. Anxiety, depression, stress, or painful experiences can make it hard to feel grounded or connected to yourself. When everything feels heavy, it’s easy to feel alone in what you’re carrying. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can process openly, better understand your experiences, and begin moving toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

Life could be so much easier—more peaceful, more pleasurable—if you didn’t feel so damn tangled in what other people think of you. You want to go after the things you know could fulfill you … but the fear of being “too much” still lingers.

I blend neuroscience, philosophy, and personal kink to help people unlearn what’s been holding them back—and reclaim the kind of radical autonomy that makes real connection possible.
When you stop apologizing for who you are, you make room for the kind of love, sex, work, and self-expression that actually fits.

Did you know that both anxiety and depression are caused by unprocessed emotions? To keep from being overwhelmed by them, we naturally suppress emotions when we do not feel supported enough to face them. The problem is, this genius coping mechanism becomes a pattern that we do not know how to escape and we are left numb, suffering in a life that is bleak, absent of vitality, and so far from all we had imagined it would be. But you know there is more. You see it in the people around you and you want it for yourself. You want to feel the lows AND highs, to see the vibrant color in the world around you, to be your authentic self.

Life transitions can be difficult. Even the good ones like graduation, marriage, and a promotion can bring stress and anxiety. The harder ones like loss of a loved one, abuse, divorce and living with challenging relationships can really knock you off your feet and prevent you from living the life you want. I am a licensed mental health counselor with more than 30 years experience helping people work through whatever life has thrown at them. My goal is to provide a safe space for people to say what's on their mind without the pressure of expectation or judgement. If you need someone to listen and really hear you, I'm here.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
