My work with individuals and couples includes a specialization in communication, relationship issues, shame, vulnerability, self-esteem issues, anxiety/depression, and any barrier to fulfilling one's full potential. I use cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapies, and take a strengths-based approach to encourage and promote self-awareness and empowerment. My style combines clinical techniques with a holistic perspective that takes into account a body-mind-heart connection. I describe this connection as awareness of health, thoughts, and emotions.

I believe creating a comfortable, warm, and of course confidential environment is key. Sharing one's thoughts and feelings can be difficult work, but careful, compassionate listening, thoughtful reflection and a sense of humor can make it easier to engage in the therapeutic process.
I work psychodynamically, thinking about you as a whole person, not as a cluster of symptoms. Together, we will consider your experiences from early life, patterns of relating and refine goals for cultivating a satisfying, meaningful life.

With over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I work with a wide range of human difficulties. From young adults trying to find their way, to individuals struggling with anxiety or depression, I believe that my work is to draw out the hidden potential in each person. Throughout the years I have trained in a wide spectrum of modalities, ranging from cognitive-behavioral therapy, to attachment theory and advanced work with the subconscious mind. And sometimes just talking about an issue in a safe environment, giving it words, allows the next step towards a happier life.

If you are feeling fearful of disappointing people, overcome by your emotions, or super aware of your surroundings, life can feel exhausting. Maybe you've been told "You're too sensitive", leaving you feeling judged. This can make you feel flawed, leaving you anxious and in constant fear. These are some of the difficulties Highly Sensitive People (HSP) experience. Life is full of rigid judgments, however, it’s in the gray space that we grow and explore. Society pressures us to conform, particularly when it comes to gender + sexuality. I am a dedicated advocate for LGBTQIA+ individuals who are exploring multiple aspects of identity.

Maybe you're unsure of what is bothering you, but are aware that something isn’t working for you anymore. Perhaps you're supportive and patient with others, but are self-critical, high-achieving, and set unrealistic expectations for yourself. Maybe you're tired of worrying all the time or feeling stuck in cycles of thinking about the same things. Until now, you've likely been pushing yourself to cope with what you’ve been feeling on your own. If you tend to prioritize others, you may be hoping to learn how to set healthy boundaries and communicate assertively, so you can better tend to your own needs.

Searching for a therapist is difficult. Sifting through websites and directories can be overwhelming. I want to help you decide if I might be the person to help you. I believe people benefit the most from therapy when they trust they will not be judged and when they have confidence in their therapist. I make every effort to accomplish these two things through my demeanor and use of evidence-based psychotherapy.

Every person has their unique journey to healing and self discovery. In experiencing my own life challenges, I found healing through immersing myself in mindfulness practices and looking deeper within myself. Since then, I knew my purpose was to help others heal in their life journey as well. I have since have been helping others achieve their personal goals of understanding themselves, their relationships with others, coping with their fears, and embracing new beginnings. Sessions are approached from a traditional and holistic perspective, giving consideration to the overall mind, body, spirit, and emotion of the person.
