I look forward to working with you! As a specialist in treating trauma, I am passionate about helping clients strengthen resilience & improve relationships. My aim is to help you better handle difficult emotions and feel more self-compassion and self-acceptance. I enjoy helping couples and individuals with relationship issues (such as ineffective patterns of communicating, intimacy/attachment issues, invalidation, shame defense mechanisms) to heal and grow. I integrate wellness, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and attachment theory in my work.

I strive for more than patient “functioning” as an end goal; I support my patients toward self-actualization and greater inner connection. If you feel stuck, consider a depth psychological approach. Many patients have only experienced supportive or solution-focused therapies, not realizing how these approaches inadvertently maintained their unhelpful patterns. Together, we will strive to find the right answer, not just the quick one.

Build a life you love by clearing out obstacles that cloud your judgment and stifle your dreams. Life is filled with many overwhelming challenges that feel insurmountable at times, especially when mental health issues cause chaos, despair and apathy. Therapeutic support offers a safe and creative space to explore new territory while systematically removing troublesome habits, distressing emotions, self-sabotage and unresolved hurts from the past. A collaborative therapeutic alliance helps to enhance self-confidence while making small steps towards a larger goal. Together we can build the life you desire one step at a time.

When problems in our relationships happen, they can leave us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. Because we exist in relation to others, these connections can have a big impact on how we feel, and how we view ourselves and the world around us. You don't have to continue feeling stuck; there is a path forward! Taking the first step towards change can be scary, but you're not alone. Together, we can clarify your values and rediscover who you are in order to more deeply connect with yourself and others. We will emphasize your strengths and collaborate to develop the tools to help you work towards the life you envision.

As a therapist, I create a safe and supportive environment in which a collaborative and goal-oriented relationship can develop. Through this safe and supportive relationship I assist people in increasing awareness of themselves and begin the journey of healing, growth, and change.

I can help you understand the underlying issues and needs that lead to withdrawal or anger, and work with you to re-establish strong bonds.

I am passionate about the work I do as a therapist, and I respect each person's struggle and strengths.

In my 25 years of practice, I have learned some important truths: what happened to us doesn’t have to determine what happens for us; under the right conditions, the human spirit orients toward growth and wholeness; therapy can be an important addition to the healing process. People come to therapy for many reasons, often the initial phase of the work is in improving coping strategies so you can feel better sooner. Beyond symptomology, understanding you and your unique context are essential for unearthing longstanding behavior patterns. Therapy is about revising your story and making you the author of the next chapter.

Is there something holding you back from living the life you want? Do you feel anxious, depressed, uncertain, fearful or confused as to how to move forward? Do you hope to change an aspect of your life but you don’t know where to start? The journey of therapy can be a powerful tool to help you move through and uncover some of these obstacles and propel you towards the life that you have imagined.

My belief in the psychotherapeutic process is experiential and interpersonal at the core. I practice from an integrative clinical perspective with an emphasis on psychodynamic psychology. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is an essential condition of the work, as this is the connection that allows for empathy and the mutual understanding of experience. In addition to the centrality of the therapeutic relationship, I aim to facilitate the co-construction of a creative space relative to each person that is safe, open and meaningful in which to explore whatever is on one's mind or heart.

My primary focus is adults presenting with histories of early and/or chronic trauma (Complex or Developmental Trauma). I work with persons experiencing depression, anxiety, self-harm, difficulties with developmental life transitions, difficulties with mood/emotional dysregulation, issues of separation and loss, abuse (sexual, physical, domestic), relationship issues, grief and loss, as well as difficulties launching into emerging adulthood.

It is crucial to the human experience to feel validated for who we are — not for who we are trying to be or who we believe society expects us to be. When we are given the tools we need to embrace our true and authentic selves without shame or fear, we can live more openly, honestly, and freely. As a therapist, I strive to provide a warm, empathetic, understanding and fun atmosphere that allows clients to feel safe and fully accepted. Through an honest, direct, and nurturing approach, effective coping strategies can be discovered, values explored, and goals attained.
