I’m here to help guide and support you, whether you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD/complex trauma, or if you are dealing with a more general issue like identity or life transitions.
My approach to therapy is compassionate, creative, and trauma-sensitive. I believe that the relationship between the client and the therapist is at the very heart of psychotherapy; feeling seen, heard, and understood is what allows us to not only heal, but to thrive. I aim to create a safe, affirming space where you can be uniquely—and joyfully—yourself.

I specialize in Trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, alcohol and substance abuse, grief and loss, and LGBTQ+ experiences.
Our beliefs and assumptions about the world inform our feelings, which in turn, influences our behavior. Many of those assumptions however are not entirely our own, or even in our conscious awareness. They come from our parents, communities, traumatic experiences, or a less developed version of ourself. Living a life that does not reflect our authentic values often results in inner conflict that negatively spills outward into our intimate, familial, and professional relationships. Taking time to explore what thoughts and values belong to our authentic selves, is one of the most important gifts an individual can give to themselves.

I'm a therapist that specializes in trauma, C- PTSD and attachment wounding.
Many of us are chronically disconnected from our body and emotions so I approach mental wellbeing holistically and utilize several evidence-backed frameworks that address both the mind and body. I teach clients how to use somatic techniques that improve mindfulness, grounding skills, and nervous system regulation.

My treatment framework merges attachment, dialectical and systems theory thinking with trauma-focused holistic approaches.
Many of us turn to therapy at a point or place in our lives where we can no longer deal with ourselves. Seeking support is a powerful first step. Do you want to feel more connected? Less resentful? Less conflicted and fulfilled within your relationships? Are you struggling with feelings of not being good enough? By working together, we will co-create new learning environments to generate deeper insights on the sources of distress, as well as practical skills to navigate life with greater ease and meaning.

I specialize in working with the psychological effects of trauma as well as cancer and other medical illnesses.
People often seek therapy when feeling stuck: painfully alienated from what they desire, torn between conflicting impulses, and stuck with a version of themselves they find confusing and dissatisfying. Through careful listening and exploration, our work will help to illuminate how old wounds and ways of surviving have restricted your ability to feel, work, love, and even play freely. Moments of vulnerability in therapy can be opportunities to shut down, or they can be opportunities for introspection and transformation – I pay close attention to each patient’s needs, wishes, and fears to help steer you towards the latter outcome.
