I believe in my sessions with my patients there should be compassion, no judgment, and a positive mental attitude where no matter how difficult a situation is by working together we can solve the issue. I enjoy using a Cognitive Behavioral Health model with my patients for their symptoms. I also try to work with my patients from a mind, body, spiritual and emotional perspective

I provide therapy and psychological evaluation for varied problems, including anxiety, panic disorder, social fears, work stress, depression, PTSD, moodiness, and career indecision.

I have worked with varied clients including financial and engineering professionals, medical and mental health providers, university personnel, special forces of all branches, and those with complicated presentations. For many years, my major activity was providing diagnostic clarification for other providers.

Hello there! What’s got you stuck these days? Besides life as we know it?
I entered the healing field to help people work through hurdles and achieve the life they desire and deserve. I am sensitive to the fact that each individual is unique, and I try my best to be attentive to the social, cultural, economic, and political diversities of everyone I come across. I treat adults 18 and over who may be experiencing anxiety, panic, phobia, depression, grief/loss, trauma, or adjustment-related issues.

Making the choice to begin therapy can be challenging. The task of working through your inner thoughts can seem daunting, but I would like to be on that journey with you. My approach to therapy is to allow my clients to guide their own sessions while I serve as a support. My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic and I enjoy helping people do “inner work”, which is to explore past experiences and to dig deep into their thoughts. I feel treatment should be individualized, because each person is unique in their needs.

Many events in our lives present unique opportunities for change. While some difficulties become evident during transition periods throughout our lifecycle, such as marriage, the birth of a child, or loss of a loved one, ALL are understandable and resolved within the relationships we have in the present. Seeking help isn't admitting defeat- it's simply courageous.

To truly thrive, we need to care for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being in a connected, intentional way. Many of the challenges we face—such as anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm—stem from patterns shaped by earlier experiences, even if we're not always aware of them.
My work integrates mind, body, and spirit through a holistic lens. Drawing on psychodynamic principles, mindfulness, and amygdala depotentiation techniques, I help patients gently explore and shift the unconscious patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

If you experience anxiety, sadness, or feel overwhelmed, I am here to help you. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and the lasting emotional and physical effects of complex trauma. The hidden wounds of childhood can manifest as excessive worry, intrusive thoughts, mood struggles, relationship difficulties, and even physical pain. Many of my clients also experience deep distress due to difficult relationships with toxic parents or partners. However, no matter whether your challenges stem from past trauma or genetic factors, healing is possible.
