Grief and trauma. When experienced, these can define us. But it doesn’t have to be that way. I feel that people are also shaped by their families and culture, their experiences, and the stories they create about themselves and their reality. I too have experienced grief and trauma and through our work together, I will help you find your voice and create a new narrative – one of empowerment and self-acceptance.

I am committed and interested in helping my clients strengthen their connections to others while simultaneously developing the tools to create personal feelings of confidence, strength, and fulfullment within themselves.

In other words, first we can tend to the flower's blossom, but then let us tend to its roots.

Narcissistic abuse is about the loss and damage of your identity. It is the psychologically abusive relationship you are in or the heartbreaking childhood you grew up with that has now left you suicidal and ashamed. Narcissistic abuse recovery is about discovering and reclaiming your identity and life purpose. It is about making you whole and empowered to live the life you would hope to live. It is about setting up boundaries and learning how to take care of yourself. Most importantly, it is about bringing generations of abuse and dysfunction to an end. We will get to the root of the issue. There is hope for your life.

I am a licensed psychologist and my approach with clients is collaborative and warm.

I work with clients seeking meaningful change. To recover authenticity, connection, and purpose back into life's experience. We work together to manage the impact of past events. More importantly, we find ways to transcend them in the present, building on character strengths to find life balance. Since working with my first client, my clinical approach has evolved to focus more on the mind-body connection. This dual approach is known as Somatic (experiential) therapy, and can often be more engaging than traditional talk therapy alone. Your recovery should be a highly individualized experience.

Are you struggling to understand a relationship that may be abusive, or trying to heal from a relationship you know is abusive?

A person considering counseling is already making the first step of trying to achieve, or return to, a healthier and happier equilibrium. I believe that “loosening up” and releasing the many things we hold, particularly unconsciously, allow us to activate that capacity and return to, or discover, a healthier state of being. Top-down, this would involve uncovering our various thought patterns, reactions, and story that we have about ourselves. Bottom-up, it involves noticing and feeling - the various ways our body is in relation to how we are mentally.

I enjoy working with motivated individuals who want to see change. I work with both individuals and couples/Poly/CNM who are navigating challenges in their lives or their relationships.

I love helping clients explore where they're stuck and collaborate with them to find creative solutions.
