Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, BPD, suicidal ideation or have been a victim of domestic violence? I have experience coordinating crisis interventions and employing Dialectical Behavior Therapy with patients who harm others or themselves, and particularly those who have experienced violence within their family network. I believe that the behaviors we display are part of a larger function, and collectively comprise the larger tapestry of the human experience, while also acknowledging the uniqueness to each human as they make their way through life.

Whether you are seeking psychoanalysis at a time of crisis or from a desire to deepen your awareness of self, this process will meet you where you are and where you are willing to go.

This process is designed to realize your authentic self in the world.

Have you suffered a loss from a divorce, lost a loved one in unexpected or traumatic circumstances or perhaps to suicide? I have particular expertise in those who have experienced divorce, survivors of trauma, and family members who have lost loved ones to suicide.

I strive to understand the concerns my clients and couples come to me with and to empower them to effect change in their relationships and lives.

“Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of Hope” -Martin Luther King, Jr. Do you sometimes feel lost or hopeless? Anxious? Struggling with mental health difficulties or life stressors?

I will work closely with you, to understand who you are, your story, and how to help you feel empowered and skilled in managing your life and your goals. You are in control of your therapy with me; and I will stand next to you, to help you feel motivated and inspired to take control over your life.

Once you are engaged in a safe, validating and honest therapeutic space, there is tremendous potential for growth. I appreciate the risk you take when you share your struggles and stories. In honoring that risk, I will remind you every step of the way of your power. Pain, distress and discomfort can inform us about the ways we see, move through, and live in the world. I will encourage you to explore these pain points and move forward with a new perspective: more in alignment with your values and goals. I come from a social justice framework and trauma-informed lens, acknowledging how inequity and injustice inform your narrative.
