Together, we will uncover the patterns and dynamics that are keeping you separate and causing dysfunction in your relationship.
I believe that our deepest wounds come from ruptures in relationships and that healing occurs in a relational context. My role as a couples therapist is to help you, individually and as a couple, heal the relational wounds that keep you stuck in patterns and roles that lead you away from the type of relationship you truly want.

I work closely with men and women facing various challenges, including how to deal with grief, a complicated relationship, family, work, and societal problems.
You know how sometimes we examine our situation and wonder how it is that we got here? There's so much going on in the world today. In examining our current state we can experience a mixture of emotions: fear, frustration, and a longing for something different. This is normal. However, sometimes these feelings can become more overwhelming than we would like, and they begin to affect us in different areas of our life such as work, family, and relationships.

I also work with individuals who are navigating how to provide support and stay connected to a family member or partner with OCD/anxiety.
I believe that taking the first step towards therapy is an act of courage. Sometimes it's easy to 'know' on some level that something about your life isn't working, but breaking out of an unhealthy pattern is the hard part. I aim to create a warm and nonjudgmental space to allow you to examine what is causing you to feel stuck, and challenge you to show up differently. Sessions can help you feel less anxious, and more confident and clear, as you learn how to better manage day to day challenges and feel more connected within your relationships, to self and others.

Therapy with me is about reclaiming, unearthing, dismantling and essentially taking a sledgehammer to all the things in life that are no longer serving you or your relationships. I do relational work to help individuals, couples and other relational structures to figure out how to process, regulate, and articulate their feelings, improve communication and work through sexual challenges. I believe in an eclectic approach to therapy. I incorporate a variety of modalities from Narrative Therapy, CBT, EFT and Solution Focused, to name a few. Regardless of the modality I operate from a social justice, anti-racist, intersectional lens.

In building a positive, trustworthy relationship, you will relearn to trust your authentic self.
Do you spend your time over analyzing and second guessing your decisions? Do you often feel others' opinions weighing on your decisions? Self-doubt may have shaped the way you have engaged with the world, and moreover see yourself in the world. I work with communities of color and queer identities specifically focusing on feelings of being a burden, exclusion, and self-worth. I will help identify, understand, develop, and strengthen your sense of self. The most important skills to have are your willingness to engage and ability to practice honesty and openness with yourself, which are skills learned in therapy. Vulnerability is key!

If you’re ready for a serious thought- partner with whom you can go anywhere, then try me out.
Your quest for clarity and contentment is exhausting and that "Life Is Good" banner taunts you, mercilessly. Often life is not good - despite how good you look on paper! Talking about hopes, dreams, expectations and disappointments can be hard, but it's the best way to make better sense of your desire and all of the emotionality that comes with it.

My approach promotes the strength and vision to change and to improve relationship patterns involving guilt, worry, self-doubt, and conflict.
My primary goal as a clinical psychologist is to help patients develop more fulfilling, meaningful and rewarding relationships through evidence-based treatment. My approach to healing integrates principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT). I work collaboratively with individuals to create a safe space and a therapeutic alliance where clients identify aspects of life that are causing difficulties and symptoms. CBT and IPT enable clients to uncover and to change unhelpful patterns of social behavior, distortions of thought, and to improve present day coping skills and management of emotions.

Is anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, difficulty forming intimate relationships due to self-doubt, some unidentifiable reasons, or a combination of life difficulties preventing you from achieving your goal or living your life to the fullest? My ultimate goal is to help each individual create meaningful changes so they can live their life in the most meaningful way. The process starts with a strong therapeutic relationship with a foundation of trust, empathy, and wholeness. Change can be uncomfortable, but the discomfort that comes with change when presented with the right connection and tools will yield tremendous growth.
