Hello - I am a psychotherapist (MFT) and a physician (Integrative pediatrics and pain management). My therapy and medical backgrounds inform each other, but as a psychotherapist, I do not actively manage medical issues.

Through experience and my own research, I have developed an integrated approach to therapy. I begin by providing education around symptoms as well as developing collaborative goals in order to reduce severity of symptoms.

As a Relationship Therapist I help Individuals, couples, and families overcome tough issues and discover deeper more fulfilling relationships. I specialize in Infidelity Recovery. Discovering that you have been cheated on and lied to is a painful and traumatic experience that can cause many feelings such as despair, anger, sadness, rage, fear and loss. If you were unfaithful, realizing the depth of the pain caused, and the guilt associated with it is often unbearable. However, there is hope; getting over the betrayal, takes a skilled experienced therapist. I respond 12/7 for urgent matters.

Through therapy, I help you develop the tools and skills for deeper understanding of how and why you get stuck in pain, self-defeating behaviors, relational problems, or internal/life struggles. Working together, we go to the root causes of different diagnoses: anxiety, depression, PTSD, dissociation, addictive behaviors, and relational difficulties. We work on transforming the patterns, beliefs and emotions that interfere with living your greatest potential. My deep approach and your consistency can change your neurobiology (nervous system and brain) resulting in increased clarity, self-love, peace, courage, and other strengths.

I work with people during times of transition. You may be needing to process a loss, learn to draw boundaries, have the courage to use your voice, change jobs, or explore what is the next chapter for you. Let's explore how your stories, beliefs and relational patterns might be holding you back.
