Feeling hopeless? I help dads recover from phobias and insomnia. In the words of the poet Hafez, "Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you in better living conditions." The cycles of rumination, avoidance, and sleepless nights can make you believe that you will never feel like yourself again. You're looking into therapy because you want to feel better and reconnect to the most important relationships and activities in your life.

Everyone has a story and their experiences are apart of what makes them who they are today. I’m a firm believer that people want to be the best versions of themselves. Therapy is a great tool to achieve this goal. I work with individuals to help guide them through the process through a holistic and strengths based approach. I specialize in ADHD, BPD, and OCD through ERP. I also treat trauma, anxiety, depression, self harm, behavioral health issues and I’m an advocate and ally for the LGBTQ+ community. I will help you change negative thinking and behaviors to create stability with your mental health.

Do you ever feel stuck in your relationship? Are you exhausted from repeating the same fight over and over again and never really resolving anything? Do you sometimes wonder if you'd be better off alone? Do you wonder if you or your partner is capable of lasting change? Do you secretly fear that you are broken and unable to sustain true intimacy? Do you long to be in a relationship where you are truly seen, loved, understood and cherished? I believe that human beings are wired for intimacy. There is nothing in the human experience that can take the place of true intimacy with another.

You’ve spent years being the steady one — the one who reads the room, keeps the peace, anticipates everyone else’s needs, and holds everything together. On the outside, you’re competent and high‑functioning. On the inside, you’re exhausted from managing anxiety, hypervigilance, and the emotional fallout of growing up in a family where safety depended on staying attuned to someone else’s moods.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep doing it alone.

My goal is to meet each person where they are along their journey and provide culturally appropriate mental health services to increase well-being and self-determination.

I find joy in empowering those I work with to find and embrace hope, meaning, purpose, and resiliency.

The clients I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and emotionally deep, yet still feel shaped by past trauma or patterns they can’t seem to break. On the outside they may look put together, but inwardly, they find themselves overthinking, feeling disconnected from their authentic self, or longing for a deeper sense of peace.
I specialize in helping clients heal the lasting impact of trauma and reconnect with their inner wisdom. In our work together, I offer a trauma-informed, grounded, compassionate space where you can safely process old wounds, and begin to feel more whole, embodied, and at home within yourself.

Satisfaction and happiness with yourself and the relationships that surround you are often what a client finds troubling them underneath the stress of life. Sometimes you feel alone in this stress, sometimes you feel surrounded by others though they don't really know you, and other times you have a handle on most things but just can't sustain feeling satisfied and happy with what you have. Finding yourself looking through therapist profiles, this profile, means you are on the path of change. Next step, set an appointment with the therapist that feels right and has skills and experience to actively guide you on a path of change.

There’s a point where “holding it all together” starts to take more from you than it gives. You might look fine on the outside, but inside, you’re tired. Tired of managing the changes, the uncertainty, the quiet moments where everything feels unfamiliar. Whether you’re adjusting to a new chapter or simply becoming a different version of yourself, transitions have a way of stirring up emotions we thought we’d already moved past.
Therapy can be a place to pause and reconnect with yourself amid all that movement. I work with adults who are ready to explore what’s underneath the stress, anxiety, or disconnection.
