I believe therapy means making you feel deeply known and accepted. My approach centers on harnessing your unique strengths in building the bridge between where you are and where you want to be. I'd like to help you understand your emotional concerns from a perspective of humanistic compassion; that your younger self did your best to cope by what very limited options were available to you. The process of understanding yourself with compassion and learning new ways of being in the world isn't always easy, but I'll be with you every step of the way.

I help adults who struggle with their mood and want to create deeper connections with their loved ones. As your therapist, I believe in creating a warm and secure bond to open the space for long-lasting, personal growth. Together we can find and solve the "stuck points" holding you back from living a full and meaningful life.

I take an integrative approach reflecting my honed expertise with the following therapy modalities: EMDR, Schema, Ketamine-Assisted, and Ketamine-Assisted EMDR. When necessarily, I "add on" the practical skills of CBT & DBT.
