Hey there! I'm glad you've made it. Making the choice in addressing your mental health is the first step to showing up for yourself. I'm sure there have been times where you haven't been able to show up for yourself or you're feeling stuck and always on edge. I have 6+ years of experience in this field, working with various individuals from different walks of life suffering from trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, suicidal ideations, etc. I am prepared to meet you where you're at, work with you to understand how you're feeling, why you feel that way, and where this stems from to alleviate the heaviness that this all comes with.

As a trauma therapist, my primary passion is helping individuals heal from complex traumas. My clinical focus is working with clients who have experienced sexual abuse or assault, attachment and developmental trauma, clients who struggle with dissociation and Dissociative Disorders/DID, or cPTSD caused by other traumas throughout the lifespan. If you're struggling with a complex trauma history, I will work alongside you to help you cope with these challenging experiences and manage the overwhelming emotions that typically accompany them.

You keep it together on the outside — but underneath, there’s a constant push to hold it all, fix it all, or make it all make sense. You might feel anxious, stuck in old roles, or unsure how to show up in your relationships without losing yourself. Maybe you’ve done a lot of work already, but something still feels unfinished. I work with thoughtful, responsible people who often feel exhausted by how hard they’re trying. You want space to slow down, to hear yourself more clearly, and to move through life with more honesty, freedom, and connection. That’s what I help people do.

I believe that we all struggle, at times, to cope with difficult feelings. You know, the ones that have been with us all our lives? The ones that make us feel stuck and hopeless at times? I also believe that we can make some sense out of our feelings by examining past relationships. With this awareness we can begin to look at your current feelings and relationships. In a non-judgmental environment, come as you are. We will approach this together.

Do you describe yourself as a “people pleaser”? Perhaps frozen from imposter syndrome or perfectionism? I help people who frequently struggle with beliefs such as "I'm not good enough" and grew up in critical environments. In my practice, I see adults, children, and teens. The most common concerns I see are those who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma/complex PTSD. Additionally, I see people diagnosed with ADHD, as they often need support for longtime feelings of inadequacy, regret, anxiety, and depression .

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy (ST) are effective, empirically validated treatments.
In my 25 years as a clinician, I have learned that patients want a therapist who is real, direct, and honest. At the same time, they want a therapist who knows psychotherapy and clinical data. Jargon and platitudes aren't helpful. I believe in providing feedback and sharing my thoughts and opinions. In other words, I do not want to sit back and only nod my head. I will provide direction to help you. I will affirm you at times and challenge you at times We'll work together in a non-judgmental and safe environment with active and honest communication.

You may know yourself well. You may have even done therapy before, read the books, done the work, and still something isn't right. Maybe it's an anxiety that won't quiet, a depression that won't lift, a trauma that never quite left the body, or a pattern that keeps repeating no matter how hard you try. Whatever you're experiencing, it makes sense. Not as a platitude, but because pain always has a reason, even when that reason isn't yet known. My deepest hope for everyone I work with is that you find not just relief, but a genuine trust in yourself and something that feels like self love.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you find yourself repeating patterns that leave you unfulfilled in your relationships or unable to make changes? I offer a safe and judgement free space where the collaborative process of guided exploration and curiosity will lead to deeper understanding and self-acceptance. I will help you see the choices in your life so you can become an active participant in the life you want to lead. Together we will consider your family-of-origin dynamics, belief systems, and how those as well as other systems play a part in your current relationship with yourself and others.

I work best with young adult and adult clients whose efforts to live rich, meaningful lives have been thwarted; plagued by feelings of hopelessness or self-doubt, or bombarded with fears, anxieties, and worries that are overwhelming and paralyzing. Others may find their emotions in the "driver’s seat” during pivotal moments, leading to recurring patterns of disappointment, guilt, or regret. Ultimately, I thrive working with clients willing to explore their own experiences with curiosity: clients willing to risk vulnerability and discomfort in the service of growth and progress towards their goals in therapy and in life.

I draw from Schema Therapy, Mindfulness, Gestalt, and Feminist approaches to offer a compassionate, culturally sensitive space for growth and lasting change.
My ideal client is someone who may feel lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected—perhaps from themselves, from others, or from the life they once envisioned. They might be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, cultural identity conflicts, or difficulties in navigating major life transitions. Deep down, they long for more than just symptom relief. They seek clarity, inner peace, authentic connection, and the freedom to live more fully as who they are. They want to understand their patterns, heal old wounds, and cultivate a life that feels meaningful and self-directed.

You may look successful on the outside but privately, you’re struggling with something that feels difficult to talk about. My practice focuses on sexual intimacy and desire, betrayal trauma, sex and pornography addiction, complicated grief, loneliness, and fertility or IVF-related distress. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they cannot seem to break, carrying a deep sense of shame, or trying to make sense of a loss or season of life that feels overwhelming and isolating.

You may feel emotionally unsettled, internally fragmented, or unsure how to make sense of recurring patterns in your relationships, desires, or sense of self. You might be functioning well on the outside while feeling constrained, disconnected, or quietly dissatisfied inside. Many people who seek my work are thoughtful, psychologically curious, and self-aware, yet sense that understanding alone has not brought the integration or ease they are seeking. Therapy may feel like a way to deepen self-experience, develop greater coherence, and live with more clarity, alignment, and emotional continuity.

Many of the men I work with feel pressure to keep everything together while quietly carrying stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, or loneliness. Therapy can offer a place to speak honestly about what’s really going on and begin moving forward with greater clarity and confidence. I work particularly well with men who want a space to think more clearly about their lives, relationships, identity, and the expectations they carry. From the outside things may look stable or successful, but internally many people feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure about the next step.
