When was the last time you felt heard and listened to? Do you have the feeling of being overwhelmed? Do you feel like you've lost control of a situation or issue in your own life? Or, do you just need someone to talk to? Everyone faces some or all of these problems in life, but not everyone deals with them in a healthy way. If you are looking to change this I would be happy to help. In my practice I focus on helping you onto the path of healing that is best for you, as defined by your goals.

Has your life lost its color? Do you find yourself experiencing less joy and interest in pretty much anything? Do you struggle to recognize yourself in the mirror? Simply put, things don't feel how they used to, and these feelings are starting to become concerning to you and those that love you. Although you have tried to cope and find solutions to these “new” feelings, they have not been successful and you are starting to lose hope. As everything else in your life seems to be slowly falling apart, you keep trying to "push through," but these feelings keep blocking your way to the life that you want.

Sometimes life falls apart loudly. Other times the signal is faint, a sense that something feels off or flat. You might feel deep disappointment, grief, or longing. You may notice yourself stuck in familiar patterns, reacting in ways you don’t fully understand, or wondering why life feels harder than it seems for others. You might feel weighed down or caught in loops, struggling to change your experience. You might simply feel unsettled or quietly dissatisfied. People come to therapy for many reasons, sometimes in a clear crisis like a divorce, loss, or life unraveling, and other times with a quieter sense that life could be more.

Welcome! I work in helping folks to address complex trauma, problems in relationships, and building self-esteem and authenticity in life. It is completely natural to struggle and experience difficulties. Sometimes these difficulties come from experiencing traumatic events, managing difficult relationships, and even feeling as if we do not know ourselves and what we really want out of life. I specialize in trauma, particularly attachment and relationship traumas that can occur early in childhood or in our adult romantic relationships and even friendships.

I can provide a safe space where clients can explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors freely. Regardless of cultural background or personal lifestyles, all are welcomed to explore themselves, their needs, their goals, and any concerns they may have, through a relaxed and nonjudgmental therapeutic experience. I aim to encourage, highlight, and empower those who seek clarity through difficult situations or when life appears most murky. Navigating through difficult thoughts or experiences alone may appear daunting at times. You are not alone and therapy can be that outlet to which you will be able to create your own path to healing.

I support adults navigating a variety of issues, including chronic pain and illness, dissociative diagnoses, depression and grief, complex trauma, relationship challenges, searches for meaning, and family of origin concerns. Trained in depth psychology, I am an ideal fit for anyone engaged in the process of self-understanding, curious about life, and seeking to be known. I believe the potential for deep healing, connection, and revitalization exists within this work. My approach, while integrative, is grounded in neurobiology, relational psychoanalysis, and the belief that talking—about our inner experience—can lead to change.

Do you feel like you’ve always been the dependable one—the eldest daughter, the peacemaker, the overachiever—carrying everyone else’s needs while ignoring your own? Maybe you’re praised for having it all together, but inside you feel anxious, burnt out, or disconnected from who you really are. You say yes when you want to say no, stay busy so you don’t have to feel too much, and end up wondering if anyone truly knows you beneath the role you play. It’s an exhausting cycle that leaves little room for you to just be yourself.
