I believe that psychotherapy fosters the path towards wholeness and connection and I am committed to the healing process. Past hurts, societal and familial programming, the voice of the inner critic, emotional dysregulation, and traumatic experiences can fragment self and break away our inner strengths and resources. I aim to relocate those strengths and inner resiliencies by facilitating connection, exploration, and implementing appropriate best-practice tools. My aim is to navigate the psychological barriers that create disconnection and establish new patterns.

Encountering struggles in our lives is a universal part of our humanity. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed and alone, whether going through a painful breakup, dealing with grief from a tragic loss, coping with the pressures of career or chronic illness, or dealing with family and relationship situations. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, who is impartial, can listen, and who can help us somehow make sense of it all. Therapy can act as a bridge of compassion and hope, to get us through to the other side to a greater understanding of our authentic selves and to help us reach the potential to live our best lives.
