If you’ve made it here, it’s likely your life and relationships are not giving you what you truly deserve. You feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or like something essential is missing-whether it's a deeper sense of purpose, or the feeling of being truly seen, understood, and honored in your closest connections. For many, unresolved past pain, attachment wounds, and old relational patterns create chronic heartache and repeating cycles that keep joy, intimacy, and fulfillment just out of reach. By gently exploring these deeper layers, we can heal old wounds, helping you move toward greater self-trust and secure relationships.

Neurofeedback is direct training of brain function, by which the brain learns to function more efficiently. It teaches the brain to improve attention, mood, behavior, cognition, and more. In simple terms, neurofeedback is positive reinforcement for the brain. We measure brain activity and teach the brain to make healthier patterns. Once these healthier brain patterns are learned the effects of neurofeedback tend to hold. Neurofeedback initiates self-regulation and enhances relaxation and cognition, all necessary components of optimal brain function. Neurofeedback can work on anyone, no matter the age. We treat a variety of conditions including ADHD, anxiety, brain injury, depression, insomnia, migraines, and more!

Many people who come to therapy are used to being the dependable one, the person others rely on, the one who keeps things together, avoids conflict, and puts their own needs last. Over time, that pattern can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted and disconnected from yourself. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, self-worth, burnout, relationship stress, and difficult family or cultural dynamics.

Anxiety is an experience that can make us feel isolated and misunderstood. When other's advice seems to be to try harder or push through, we can feel as though we are doing something wrong. Chronic worry or phobias can divide us from the things we most want to accomplish and take the joy out of what we most value. My role in therapy is to provide you with guidance, warmth, and practical, realistic tools towards genuine understanding. Therapy is a place to lean in and face challenges in a safe environment.

My ideal client may or may not have previous experience with therapy, but they are someone who is beginning to recognize that their current coping strategies—whether emotional avoidance, impulsive or high-risk behaviors, substance misuse, or emotional reactivity—are no longer serving them. What makes them an ideal client is not their readiness or success, but their willingness—to show up authentically, explore uncomfortable truths, and engage in the hard work of change, even when it feels daunting.

Relationships don’t fall apart overnight , they slowly drift, strain, and fracture under unspoken needs, life transitions, resentment, fear, and exhaustion. I work with couples who don’t want surface-level fixes, but instead want to understand what’s really happening beneath the conflict and decide together what comes next.
In addition to couples work, I support women and men navigating divorce, breakups, or the aftermath of long-term relationships. This phase often brings grief, identity loss, anger, and uncertainty all at once. Therapy becomes a place to process the loss and reconnect with yourself.
