I think of therapy as a compassionate collaboration. Clients and I form a partnership in which we work together to not only change behavior, but to understand why we continue to make the same mistakes. We also develop a "roadmap" to avoid future problems by learning to spot "red flags" that may trigger old behaviors. Learning new coping skills and strengthening old ones are an intregal part of this process.

Our feelings are signals not problems. They get louder, or shut down, when we don’t know how to respond to them. I dedicated my life to understanding and releasing trauma. As a result, I’ve come to understand the rupture that defines the traumatic condition is collective. What we see out there, in the world, the struggle and strife, reflects the conditions we’ve all inherited. Pain is a signal that something needs attention. Our relationship with self needs attention. Of course it does. Healing is realized through Hopeful Empowered Active Living and that’s our natural state.

You’ve done therapy before. You understand your patterns, your history, and why you are the way you are—yet something still feels stuck. Insight alone hasn’t brought the relief you hoped for. Your mind keeps working overtime, analyzing and managing, while your body holds tension, emotion, and old survival responses that never quite settle. There’s a sense that healing lives somewhere deeper than words, and that thinking your way forward isn’t enough anymore.

Often, people come to therapy when something feels off—when stress builds, emotions feel harder to manage, or joy feels distant. You might be carrying anxiety, persistent sadness, or emotional exhaustion, even if you can’t fully explain why. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and find steadier ground.
I work with children, individuals, and couples, and I am extensively trained in trauma-informed care, anxiety, and depression. For couples, I’m trained in the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach that helps partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their relationship.
