People come to therapy with wounds. And it is in these wounds that the light shines through. In therapy, we learn we need not fear the places where one feels stuck, overwhelmed or enslaved. My approach to psychotherapy is holistic, integrating mind body and spirit, through a variety of modalities. My diverse background has deepened my understanding for those wrestling with existential, spiritual and religious belonging, life transitions, sexual orientation, relational challenges and childhood traumas.

You want real tools for relief—but also a therapist who truly understands neurodivergence and honors your lived experience.

My ideal client is strong, smart, and self-aware—but secretly exhausted. They’ve survived more than most people know, yet keep finding themselves in the same loops of overwhelm, conflict, or self-doubt. They need more than a listening ear; they need honest feedback, practical skills, and a clear path forward. Their goal is to stop reacting from old wounds, set boundaries without guilt, and rebuild their resilience so they feel at home in their own skin. They want lasting change because the constant effort to “get it right” has started to wear down their hope.

My ideal clients feel alone behind their walls. Hyper-Independent Women are exhausted from carrying everything themselves. They are resilient but lonely, struggling to be vulnerable or receive support. They want to trade self-reliance for deep, secure connection without losing their strength. Parents of Struggling Teens are worried and heartbroken. Their teens, often labeled as problematic, are acting out or withdrawing due to past trauma. These parents want a roadmap to de-escalate conflict, rebuild trust, and restore peace and connection in their home. Both seek a safe space to heal, be understood, and build a future with meaning

“You are beautiful because you know your own darkness, and still, that does not stop you from finding your light” (R.M.Drake). This quote speaks to me. As I have had to navigate my own darkness I have been compelled to see my inner light. My journey has taught me that a change in perspective fosters self-growth and knowledge. Navigating life’s anxieties are tough. Struggling with our personal demons can keep us in a cycle of negative thought diminishing the sight of hope. Life presents us with a tricky balance between our shadow and light selves. Therapy is a great way to find a path to our truest being.

Chronic Pain Therapists
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.

What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.

Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.

How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
