“Live life to the fullest.” “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” “When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.” These are great, but life is more complex than cliché quotes.

You are worthy of happiness, freedom, and wholeness, even if you don’t currently feel it.

Do you feel like you have it “somewhat together”, like you’ve put in some work to be your best self but yet you still feel stuck?

The clients I work with may have experiences including but not limited to life adjustments, interpersonal conflict with partners, friends, or families, self esteem, attachment, identity issues, gender roles, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I use strengths based treatments of CBT, DBT, and narrative therapies, and etc.
Therapy in my office is a place where you can feel free to express emotions and process unresolved traumas, with someone to work alongside you and collaborate on goals. I believe in gently challenging negative thought patterns and resolving where that thought was created. Your session is centered on your goals, and we work through relieving shame, and embracing positive and realistic growth. The analogy I like best: my office is the space where you dump your puzzle pieces, and we take our time to figure out which pieces fit together.

Certified in Brainspotting and Safe and Sound Protocol, I also use CBT and DBT to support healing.
You’ve been through so much. And now, you’re hurting—unsure if things will ever truly get better.
Trauma can change everything: how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how you move through the world. You might feel disconnected, like you’re watching your life from the outside. You want to live fully in the present, but the past keeps interfering—affecting your relationships, your work, and your sense of peace. You’ve tried to cope. You’ve read the books, watched the videos, maybe even talked to someone. But nothing seems to reach the core of what’s holding you back. What you need now is real relief.
