I specialize in helping people recover from complex trauma. People with narcissistic, abusive, or neglectful parents or partners sometimes develop issues with trusting themselves, have difficulty maintaining close relationships, struggle with an inner critic, vacillate often between depression and anxiety, lack a solid sense of identity, or feel a sense of emptiness when their lives seem great on paper. Sometimes that trauma can even become part of one's identity - I work with clients to build insight, boundaries, self-compassion, and acceptance to free themselves from it & live more fulfilling lives.
My specialties include complex trauma, childhood abuse/neglect, healing from narcissistic/abusive relationships, codependency and relationship issues, substance use disorders, masculinity and men's issues, grief and loss, spirituality, and working with cultural minority issues such as family conflict, intergenerational trauma, cultural identity & racism.
I've been described by my clients as non-judgmental, warm (but direct), validating, and compassionate. Having been on the other side, I know it can be hard to know what you need, so I offer free consultations to help you get started on your path. Please also note that I am exclusively providing services via teletherapy at this time!

I adapt my treatment to the needs of the person in front of me. The main ways I intervene are providing education to help people understand their issues, develop insight into past patterns of behavior/thinking that no longer work for them, help them heal past hurts in the past with self-compassion and acceptance, and create and practice new behaviors that help them live a more values-driven life.
