I look forward to working with individuals who are struggling with self-esteem issues, childhood/family trauma/s, relationship issues, grief, loss, illness, bi-cultural issues, anxiety, stress management needs, and/or substance use issues.
My work and approach are to live in the here and now of present issues, while looking to the future and resolving underlying struggles from former experiences, so as to help us realize and work through the parts of ourself that have been challenged and which continue to be so. My 30+ years of pre-/and post Master's psychodynamic work with direct client and patient clinical treatment, along with my ongoing experience as a Yoga Teacher, and REBT training, inform my style and approach in working with individuals who are invested in developing a healthy sense of self and achieving healthier life goals.

Together, we’ll develop therapy goals and build coping and management skills. I’m dedicated to providing the highest quality of care and ensuring my clients trust that I have their best interests in mind.

I work with both individuals and couples and some of my specialities include relationship issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and ADHD.
It takes courage to recognize when something in your life isn't working the way you'd hoped. Maybe things appear tolerable on the surface, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of what you truly need. You may be wrestling with patterns that no longer serve you—conflict with a loved one, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling overcome by parts of yourself you’ve learned to hide. I work relationally and psychodynamically, helping you notice how past experiences and attachment patterns are showing up in the present. I also pull from somatic approaches for those seeking grounding and nervous system support.

I specialize in working with adults who grew up in unpredictable, emotionally immature, or high-conflict families, Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), neurodivergent adults, and those struggling with attachment wounds, relationship trauma, or the lingering effects of difficult childhoods.
Together, we'll understand why these patterns developed, heal what still feels unresolved, and build relationships—including the one with yourself—that feel safer, more authentic, and more fulfilling.

I work with teens, young adults, and adults navigating trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges.
I draw from evidenced-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic techniques, but I understand that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all. I aim to create sessions that are thoughtful, intentional, and guided by your unique needs.

I'm certified in Brainspotting, an amazing body-based way to transform your emotions, release trauma, and expand your performance.
To everyone around you, it looks like you've "got it together." But deep inside, you feel like an impostor. Even though your life looks great on the surface, you feel anxious, as if it could all fall apart at any moment. You'd like to be more authentic, but you worry about what would happen if other people knew the "real" you. What would happen if you really lived your TRUE self in the world? That's scary, so you put on an act. But the act is getting exhausting. Sometimes, you wonder if you've spent so much time faking it that you've lost sight of your true self altogether.

I specialize in working with individuals facing challenges in family and romantic relationships, anxiety, and trauma.
You are not crazy. In a world that often stigmatizes therapy as something only 'crazy' people do, it's crucial to recognize that seeking help is a brave and empowering choice. Quality therapy has the power to transform your life in ways you may never have imagined. It's an investment in yourself—a step towards reclaiming control over your feelings, relationships, and future. If you're tired of feeling like external forces dictate your emotions, walking on eggshells in your relationships, being overly critical of yourself, or feeling trapped by your past, therapy can offer a path towards healing and growth.

Whether you are experiencing a difficult time with life transitions or managing mental and emotional discomfort, therapy can offer a way forward. I want to learn about where you are at and collaboratively identify and meet your needs. My goal is for you to feel seen, gain a sense of empowerment, and strengthen your autonomy to get control of your life back. I draw from a person-centered approach and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). A person-centered approach emphasizes the client is the expert on themselves and I'm here to help you explore your experiences further.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, musician, and healing-centered therapist committed to helping adults, youth, and families—especially communities of color—process trauma, rebuild self-trust, and reclaim their power.
My clinical approach is trauma-informed and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, and structured boundary-setting. Many of the people I support come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles—people-pleasing, rumination, unhealthy relationships, burnout, or difficulty trusting themselves.

Together, it is my hope to build a trusting, therapeutic relationship to support each client's healing and growth. I believe that it is my role as a therapist to allow each client to be heard and to guide them through the change process in a way that makes sense for them.
