Are you feeling depressed, overwhelmed, or noticing your body developing all kinds of unexplained pain and symptoms? Maybe you wake up already exhausted, carrying the weight of worries and emotions that never seem to quiet down. You might feel disconnected from yourself, snapping at loved ones, or wondering if things will ever feel lighter. Life can feel unbearably heavy — and you don’t have to face it all on your own.

You’re dealing with anxiety that feels exhausting—worry, panic, or intrusive thoughts that make it hard to function the way you want. Maybe trauma or substance use adds complexity or keeps old patterns in place. You want effective strategies, a clearer mind, and a sense of control. You’re seeking a therapist who understands anxiety clinically and also builds a strong, supportive relationship to help you make real, sustainable progress. Life is more than the absence of pain or stress. I support my clients to find freedom, peace of mind, and well-being.

Therapy is both, an art and a science. Effective therapy is both, laborious and liberating; while an effective therapist is someone who has experience, knowledge, wisdom, awareness, humility, empathy, compassion, and what we in the field call "unconditional positive regard" for clients. Lastly, an effective client (read: possibly you) is anyone who seeks to foster self-awareness, self-care, self-actualization, and self-love. You deserve happiness, fulfillment, integrity, and peace. Perhaps this sounds trite and rhetorical, but give it some further consideration in your gut and in your soul: Listen to what each is yearning for.

I'm an interactive and dynamic therapist striving to provide a compassionate space to explore your inner world. The goal is to develop insight while learning skills to effectively navigate challenges and reduce suffering. Utilizing a dialectical approach, (balancing both self-acceptance and desire to change), we journey together to build the life you want to live. Many of my clients have been through traumatic events and describe feeling stuck in cycles of self-destructive behaviors, thinking patterns, and relationships. Treatment is tailored to the individual client and what they want out of therapy.

My clinical approach focuses on two core areas: childhood experiences and resilience. I operate from the idea that our current challenges are very often rooted in childhood, and resilience is key to overcoming these challenges to lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Through our work together, I believe addressing childhood experiences and fostering resilience can create lasting, positive changes in mental health.

There is no ideal client. Each client is a unique subject who has been shaped by an infinitely complex set of circumstances; family, culture and inherited predispositions. The one thing that they have in common is that somehow there is a sense that things are somehow not right and yet still entertain a suspicion that things can improve. Working in an open, honest and interactive way, marked by curiosity, compassion and courage we will work together to discover patterns and styles that hinder the experience of joy, intimacy and achievement. Together we will work to overcome the crisis of debilitating guilt, anxiety and depression.

You love your partner, but the same arguments keep repeating. Or your anxiety feels louder than your logic. Maybe past trauma still shapes how safe you feel in connection. You want closeness, clarity, and steadiness—but you’re tired of feeling reactive, misunderstood, or stuck.
I specialize in couples, anxiety, and trauma, using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to strengthen attachment and reduce conflict. I integrate CBT, solution-focused, and exposure-based strategies when helpful.
Together, we slow the cycle, build emotional regulation, and help you communicate with confidence and intention.

All of us reach points in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck. It is easy sometimes to feel discouraged and alone. In those moments, we may lose our ability to feel joy, to see our strengths, to feel connection, and live to our full potential. This is when counseling can provide the safety and support we all need to confront our personal challenges and rediscover the beauty and resilience of our own hearts.

Are you attempting to manage feelings that have been building up over time? You may be living with anxiety and depression, generally feeling stuck, and/or are trying to manage the personalities of people around you.
