We integrate traditional psychotherapy with Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Breathwork, Somatic work, Emotionally Focused Therapy, coaching, and other evidence-based approaches through teletherapy.
My approach to psychotherapy is to create a safe space where you can explore and heal the difficult and painful issues that are showing up in your life. Together we will move beyond problem-solving into releasing the deeply held mistaken beliefs and core unresolved issues behind your symptoms. My body-centered and somatic approach allows me to work directly with your nervous system to address symptoms like anxiety, racing thoughts, and irrational fears as well as feeling stuck, depressed and unavailable or unresponsive to life and relationships.

Using a blend of EMDR, IFS, and Hypnotherapy, I help clients overcome fear and self-doubt, building confidence in relationships, work, and daily life.
Do social situations leave you torn between the desire for connection and the fear of judgment—overwhelmed, self-conscious, or stuck in overthinking? You're not alone. Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting, leading to isolation and disconnection. If anxiety or relationship struggles are holding you back, I’m here to help you build confidence, deepen connections, and create fulfilling relationships. Using proven therapeutic approaches, I guide individuals through these challenges to foster healing and lasting change. Social anxiety doesn’t have to define your life—you have the power to rewrite your story.

The clients who come to me are having difficulty creating the lives that they want for themselves. Sometimes this is due to trauma in their background and other times it is due to other things that are blocking their personal goals such as grief or a break-up/divorce. Clients who work best with me are ones who want to build their internal resources so that they can knowingly move forward in whatever direction they choose.

We live in a stressful, complex, and contradictory world. And though you do your best to cope with the chaos around you, sometimes it gets overwhelming. The chaos can make you question your decisions - sometimes it can even make you question who and how you are. Why are there so many obstacles to the life and relationships you want? Shouldn’t there be a clearer path? It can be so hard to navigate through the noise. Craving to connect more fully but end up feeling needy and more alone. Wanting to feel safe, but unease grows and bleeds through. Striving to be authentic, but there is so much noise it is hard to hear your true self.

You’re in the middle of your life (30’s, 40’s, or 50’s) and have begun to question if this is it…this trajectory you’re on. You feel any combination of anxious, empty, depressed, lost, exhausted, guilty, or trapped. People depend on you such as your partner, kids, aging parents, and work. Had you intended this to be your life? Did you know it was going to feel this way? It's not necessarily that you don't value these things, but they don't ignite the magic of possibility or creativity anymore. You wonder if there is more to life than this, and if there's a way to discover or return to that source of electricity.

Treatment planning consists of developing strategies and skills to master these life tasks. Assessment includes Fitness, Sanity, and Mitigation Evaluations, Damages Assessment, USCIS N-648 evaluations and more.
