Welcome to a therapeutic space where the focus is not on what's "wrong" with you, but rather on celebrating your journey towards emotional health & wellness.

It's about exploring the depths of self-discovery, resiliency and healing.

What does it mean to truly know yourself? To me, therapy isn’t about fitting into a neat, pre-packaged box; it’s about discovering who you are when the old scripts no longer work. I balance an analytical, perceptive mind with a naturally warm, empathetic presence. Together, we will create a space where you can safely unpack your heaviest burdens without fear of judgment, uncovering the deep insights that are already within you. Your well-being is deeply connected to your history, your environment, and your physical body. I also have a particular affinity for working with artists, activists, and other healing professionals.

Healing from trauma isn’t just about talking – it’s about reclaiming your sense of safety in both body and mind. When you’ve experienced trauma or grown up in an environment of abuse or neglect, that feeling of safety is the first thing to go. This can lead to deep patterns of self-doubt, low self-worth, and difficulty asking for your needs to be met. You may feel like you’re moving through life on autopilot, disconnected, as if watching from the outside. Even in calm moments, it might feel impossible to fully relax or feel joy. You might struggle to understand why you feel the way you do – which can bring confusion or shame.

Do you feel stuck? Or like you are caught on a treadmill, thinking you are going somewhere only to find that you are still in the same place emotionally? You are not alone. We are each on our own journey, attempting to do the best we can with what we have – and then life’s events happen to us. We can end up feeling entrenched in patterns of behaviors and thinking that are limiting and discouraging. You are NOT destined to remain bound by these cycles forever. My style of psychotherapy is deeply relational incorporating clients' emotions to bring forth experiential change.

You love each other, and you want to work through the problems, but so far, nothing you've tried has helped long-term - including couples therapy. You feel like roommates; you argue about the same thing repeatedly, and you struggle to feel heard and understood by the person most important to you. It's brave of you to search for help, whether this is your first or fourth time. You both deserve to be in a cherishing relationship. It is possible to be happy together again. If you are ready to do the work, I can help.

I'm so glad you're here. Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision and I know it took a lot of courage and vulnerability to get here. The people I work with often start therapy because they feel overwhelmed, are in recovery from addiction, or looking for a place to process life's ups and downs. I'm passionate about helping people work through complex family dynamics, women's issues, queer identity, and healing from trauma. Through our work together, my hope is to walk alongside you to help you recognize your own internal strength, even in the toughest times.

Your story is threaded with mystery and purpose. Sometimes we journey through dark landscapes of chaos and unraveling. Things happen: an injustice, we loose our job, our health declines, the place we call home disappears like sand between our fingers, we lose the ones we love, or we are betrayed by someone we trusted. Suddenly, we are faced with the shocking absurdity of reality. "I can't believe this is my life! Please, don't let this be my life!" When we are lost, the importance of someone bearing witness to our severely-wounded self is invaluable. I consider it an honor to walk alongside of you and your one, unique story.

I work with thoughtful, high-achieving adults who may appear successful on the outside yet struggle with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Many seek support for trauma, attachment wounds, grief, life transitions, or challenges in their relationships. Together, we work to understand deeper patterns, process unresolved experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a certified trauma therapist whose work centers on the connection between unresolved complex trauma and the maladaptive coping behaviors that often lead to functional impairment in adulthood. Many of my clients arrive feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite name—cycles of addiction, emotional shutdown, chronic self-doubt, or relational conflict that seem to repeat despite their best efforts. Beneath these behaviors, there’s often a history of trauma that hasn’t been fully processed, and a nervous system that’s learned to survive rather than thrive.

I believe every individual has the ability to change their circumstances by focusing on the elements which are within their control. Equally as important, we must learn to let go of situations over which we are powerless. By sharing experiences with another person and working through the obstacles that inhibit the life we desire, it is possible to create a life which allows us to thrive. My goal is to assist you in this process by providing a safe environment where you can be open and honest with yourself.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
