I specialize in helping individuals and couples break free from recurring issues in relationships, often tied to family dynamics, trauma, or low self-esteem and shame. My primary specializations are working with trauma, grief and loss, and recurring relational problems. If you feel stuck and want to create meaningful, lasting change, I provide a process-oriented, relational approach designed to increase awareness, build resilience, and resolve psychological and emotional wounds. Together, we can work to improve your mental health, strengthen your relational skills, nurture your relationships, and empower you to live authentically.
I practice a form of counseling that increases your awareness by getting in touch with your embodied experiences, examining relational issues as they occur between us, and by committing to examine uncomfortable issues within the safety of the counseling session. This is especially helpful in resolving trauma and problematic relational patterns.
If you are tired of what you are getting out of life right now, and if you feel desperate for change, please reach out to me. My goal is to be your last counselor; I want you to love your life, be strong enough to overcome adversity, and experience lasting, meaningful psychological change. If you think we would be a good fit, call me today!

I work with clients who are experiencing stagnancy or continued disappointment in life due to trauma, problematic relational or behavioral patterns, unresolved family issues, or self-esteem and identity issues. Most of my clients experience heightened awareness and small degrees of change within the first six weeks. We will collaborate to work towards lasting change in our sessions thereafter.
