In our lives we juggle multiple relationships/ roles every day; our relationship to friends, family, our significant others, & co-workers/ teachers. Let's not forget the relationship to ourselves, one of the most important relationships we can have! Sometimes it is overwhelming trying to be the best that we can be. Sometimes we settle for just getting by. That is okay, to a point. However, when we do not feel like ourselves, or our relationships start changing, feeling stressed, or off track, to a point that it is influencing other parts of our lives that is where I can help.

Heal, so that when someone tells you they love you, you may allow yourself to believe them. If this resonates with you, the relationships in your life may feel lonely and more like work than play. You may find yourself enacting old patterns that you told yourself you wouldn’t repeat. Maybe you’re exhausted, constantly giving to people who don’t do the same. If so, I'm not just a therapist telling you I can help, I'm a therapist telling you I've been there! And here's what I know: in order for us to navigate our present from a place of wholeness, it's important for us to get intimate with our past. No more superficial solutions!

Weekday appointments available: My approach to therapy is attachment based psychoanalysis with a trauma focus. All humans have the basic fundamental need to be loved, be seen, and be heard. Our beliefs, feelings, behavior patterns, and relational dynamics are driven by these needs before we could articulate. We learned about our world through our first relationships and these subconscious attachments. We work with the subconscious, identify how your attachment reinforces choices, and unworked through feelings. You may not have an identified traumatic experience; rather, you experienced an event that was too complex to process then.

Negative intense emotions can affect our daily lives if we allow them to. These emotions can be anger, shame, guilt, or sadness. It can leave us feeling down and overwhelmed causing anxiety and may drive us to behave in ways we normally wouldn't. Sometimes it may be difficult for couples and families to relate to each other when issues of life get in the way or when one may not believe the other understands. My focus is to help individuals and couples connect emotionally while developing skills to communicate, validate, and understand each other.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Clinical Psychology and graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My therapy approach is taken from an attachment theory and perspective. I believe humans are wired to feel connected, and that we all greatly benefit from healthy relationships.

Do you sometimes feel hopeless, broken, not good enough, or stuck? What if there is nothing wrong with you, and the biggest problem you have, is simply the story you're telling yourself? As a holistic therapist, I believe that you are already whole and complete and have all the answers you need within you. Maybe past experiences have left you with thoughts and beliefs about yourself that create a story of inadequacy and failure. I can help you examine and release the emotions, thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back, and reconnect with the courageous, beautiful and beyond capable person that you already are.
