My website
I specialize in helping clients discover links between past trauma wounds and current issues, dysfunctional behavior and addictions. My goal is to help every client discover the greatest version of themselves. I've had a very eclectic path and traversed many different crossroads until I found my true calling. I understand first-hand the challenges of anxiety, depression and trauma. As a philosopher at heart, I've come to realize it's not about having all the right answers but asking the right questions.
Are you overwhelmed by anxiety, chronic stress, or troubled relationships? Struggling to find meaning in a chaotic world? I understand how complex life challenges can hinder your growth. My goal is to help you reduce anxiety, heal from trauma, and build stronger, healthier relationships. Together, we can rediscover the greatest version of your true self.
I specialize in treating adult clients who are navigating the existential givens of this matrix: freedom, isolation, anxiety related to death/aging and finding meaning in life.

Every client is a unique individual and presents with their own special situation. Although I integrate a number of different modalities, my foundational orientation is existential. I believe in guiding my clients towards greater purpose and meaning in life and overcoming the existential fears of freedom, isolation, responsibility, aging and death.
