Something shifts in your capacity for relationships in the aftermath of addiction or trauma. Partners feel like roommates. Trust erodes. Intimacy disappears. Conflict becomes the only communication. You still love each other, but love alone hasn't been enough to make things work. I specialize in helping couples heal from the relational damage that addiction and trauma leave behind. Not just learn to cope, but actually rebuild connection, trust, safety and intimacy. Using RLT, IFS, and somatic approaches, we work at the level where change actually sticks: the body, the nervous system, the deep relational patterns that get you stuck.

You're carrying more than most people know — anxiety that won't quiet down, wounds from the past, or a season of life that's left you feeling lost or unlike yourself. Maybe you've never had a space where your culture, your language, and your full story were truly welcome. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief/loss, and life transitions, with specialized training in culturally informed mental health. Together, we work to reconnect you with your own worth and build the coping, clarity, and connection you've been missing.

If you’re looking for therapy, it’s usually because emotions feel unbearable, your nervous system is on edge, your mind won’t turn off, and you are tired of carrying it alone. If you’re tired of functioning on the outside while falling apart inside, then you've come to the right place. Trauma can show up in the body, the emotions, sleep, relationships, and the way you see yourself. I work with people who have experienced abuse, chronic invalidation, and complex trauma, including dissociation. My approach is trauma-informed, we focus on helping you feel safer, understand your triggers and build real stability.

Are you looking for a therapist who honors your autonomy and trusts you as the expert of your own life? Are you open to self-reflection and motivated to explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in a supportive environment? You don’t need someone to “fix” you, but you might be looking for a space where you can actually be honest about what’s going on. I work with people who are used to holding it together on the outside, even when things feel much less clear underneath. That might look like stress, burnout, relationship patterns that keep repeating, or using substances in ways that are starting to feel harder to manage.

Are you struggling to connect with your passion and creativity? You've lost your sense of purpose, you're struggling with emotions that get the better of you, and your relationships are suffering as a result. You know something needs to change, but you're not sure how to get started. You deserve to reclaim your sense of identity and self-determination. I help writers, artists, and creative thinkers reconnect with your purpose, heal from trauma, anxiety, and self-doubt, and foster meaningful relationships with yourself and the world around you.

You function well. From the outside, your life works. Inside, something hasn't settled — anxiety that won't resolve on schedule, old trauma that still runs the room, patterns that keep repeating no matter how well you understand them. You don't need a pep talk or a protocol. You need a space that can actually hold complexity — trauma, identity, meaning, and the unconscious patterns beneath the surface.
That's the work I do. I practice at the intersection of depth psychology, existential philosophy, and contemplative practice

My clinical approach is multi-disciplinary and rooted in psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, and humanistic psychology. I also have a background in integrative health and wellness, which can contribute to a more in-depth perspective on treatment. My style is collaborative, interpersonal, direct, and non-judgemental, and I encourage clients to be true to themselves and transparent. Although treatment is based on an individual's needs and goals, primary objectives in treatment are to help clients (re)connect to their confidence and curiosity and to reinforce their capacity and resiliency.
