With over 25 years of experience in behavior health services, I can create a compassionate and supportive environment to begin working with parts of you that may be out of balance by using psychodynamic and trauma aware approaches such as EMDR therapy, internal family systems (IFS), ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, (KAP), and mindfulness.
Many of us may become stuck at different stages in our lives for many reasons. Its possible you may or may not be aware of what events may have led to this which can manifest in mental health and/or substance use difficulties. Examples range from traumatic events such as abuse, neglect, and death of loved ones; oft under-emphasized circumstances such as daily stress, breakups, life changes/transitions, and loss of employment; or broader systemic issues such as racism, poverty, and other types of discrimination. If you are looking to identify the stuck parts to help all of you move forward, this is a good place to start.

With a degree in trauma & 2+ years in trauma-informed programs, I am well-versed in various forms of trauma and ways to cope with traumatic experiences, PTSD symptoms, etc. Due to the intensity of trauma and learning different treatment methods/coping strategies, it has trickled over into other specialties such as anxiety, depression, and anger.

A former family law lawyer, I am fortunate to have found a professional niche that is so personally satisfying and meaningful, and I am honored to collaborate with clients for the purpose of improving their lives.
Many people experience times when they feel stuck in some important aspect of their lives, and want to find a way forward that is true to who they are and to the values that matter to them. Being stuck is often connected to unprocessed early experiences, compounded by living in the turmoil of complex and difficult times, and navigating what appear to be paradigm shifts in how we understand what is happening in and to our world. Therapy can provide a way to work towards clarity, and towards building, maintaining and balancing a healthy sense of self, healthy relationships with others, and a life that makes sense and works for us.
