Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck? Maybe you and your partner are repeating painful relationship patterns, struggling to communicate, and longing to heal & reconnect? Or perhaps your teen is struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, or emotional overwhelm. I work with couples, teens and adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Using psychodynamic therapy & CBT, we’ll uncover patterns, build practical tools, and create lasting change. I welcome BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ clients and provide a warm, affirming space where you feel seen, supported, and understood.

I help teens, adults, and couples understand themselves, heal from painful experiences, and create change. I support clients with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions. Using relational psychodynamic, CBT, and person-centered therapy, I help clients explore patterns, build tools, and create ways of coping and connecting.

Therapy is a space where real healing can happen-not because you’re broken, but because you deserve support as you grow, grieve, question, and transform. If you're ready to explore what’s beneath the surface and create lasting change, I invite you to reach out and schedule a free consultation. I welcome the opportunity to support your healing process.
