I relate to the sense of urgency, financial stability, and need for connection. The cumulative grief and trauma from life events highlight the importance of specialized care in the healing process.

I have yet to meet anyone whose life experience has been wholly devoid of struggle. It seems to be part of the human condition. Although relative, these struggles are something we are all faced with from time to time throughout our lives. In my experience, therapy provides us with the means to not only face and overcome these struggles, but also to find empowerment and purpose within what may have previously been only pain. My belief in the transformative gift one can experience through effective therapy was born during my own personal journey of healing and growth, and later solidified through my work with others.

Mental health challenges do not define an individual. They are natural human trials to be experienced. I’m an award-winning psychology researcher with over a decade of research experience and I’m prepared to assist in your well-being journey. I approach the human condition as if we contain natural resources, yet to be mined, to achieve full potential in life and relationships. There’s optimism in human nature and it contains hope to aspire towards greater self-understanding. Once a person becomes more self-aware of his/her behavior, it’s possible to change or adapt for the better.

I draw most often attachment-based approaches, integrating mindfulness, values, and emotional exploration into the work.
My patients often struggle with trauma, chronic suicidality, identity or self-worth, and the impact of marginalization, particularly on LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folks. I have worked with personality disorders, burnout, chronic pain and illness, eating disorders, and the aftermath of religious or attachment trauma. I am passionate about supporting men in therapy, particularly around emotional expression, vulnerability, and relational challenges, as well as working with disability as both lived experience and identity.

My specialty is intimacy disorders including sex/love addiction/avoidance as well as codependence caused by developmental trauma. Bad relationships can ruin your life & your happiness; however, relationships can be turned around. When addiction is present, the chances of real intimacy are small. Love addiction is a powerful & debilitating disorder that is very serious & potentially life threatening. Developmental trauma is a set up for self esteem & intimacy issues. If left untreated developmental trauma can lead to mental & physical illness (Pia Mellody, ACE study). You're not alone!

My therapeutic style tends to be very interpersonal, relaxed, and engaged. I will frequently check-in about thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations that are arising during the session. I also help clients identify patterns and connections when appropriate to the therapeutic goals. I most often use an interpersonal culturally attuned person centered approach to therapy that integrates theory and interventions from ACT, DBT, MI, and solution-focused.
