Are you experiencing challenges dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, and trauma/PTSD? Due to these symptoms, we can be in too much emotional pain and feel too stuck to reframe our perceptions or to find solutions to our problems. Childhood or recent trauma can cause emotional distress that can be difficult to process. I am here to support you in working through unresolved trauma and guide you toward healing. Therefore, you can feel empowered, rejuvenated, and enthusiastic about life again.

I have experience working with individuals who struggle with issues stemming from substance abuse, LGBTQIA+ issues, and personality disorders. In my practice, I utilize CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic theory, and attachment theory to help clients experience healing that involves engaging both the mind and body.
I also specialize in couples and family therapy. I aim to guide couples and families with intention and respect to restore healthy communication and reach their goals and needs. Let’s uncover the intricacies of your mind’s inner-workings to find solutions, overcome obstacles to your goals, and discover your true self. Book your consultation.
