You are insightful, self-aware, and have likely already done a lot of work on yourself. Yet, you still feel stuck. Perhaps you find yourself in the same painful relational patterns, caught in a loop of self-sabotage, or you feel a persistent anxiety or sadness that surface-level approaches haven't been able to touch. You understand the 'what' of your struggle, but you're ready to heal the 'why'. If you're looking for a therapy that offers depth, curiosity, and a path to real, lasting change, you are in the right place.
The journey of therapy is a courageous one. I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation with me.

I work with adults who have been impacted by trauma and want to move "past the past" to be more successful in their lives and relationships. You may feel like you are repeating the same patterns in your life; having the same fights with your partner, feeling disconnected with your children or a lack of grounding in your job or relationships. You may feel anger that the things that happened in the past are still impacting you. As adults, we are often re-triggered by the things that happened in the past, even in childhood. If this sounds like you, I may be able to help.

I will be on maternity leave mid June through October 5, 2026.
Therapy is about finding healing - it is a space for rectifying our past with our present. What happened before with who we are today. When that reconciliation happens, we find healing and begin to walk in freedom. My purpose is to help you do exactly that. And it starts with you feeling seen and known. When you walk into my office, you will find a welcoming, safe, relaxed environment, and, hopefully, you will feel at home. As your therapist, my goal will be to help you navigate how to walk in true authenticity towards who you are meant to be.

I'm open to clients from all walks of life but I specialize in culturally-sensitive and culturally-adaptive techniques regarding migrant & refugee issues, first-gen Americans, family and domestic violence, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
I could throw a lot of buzzwords at you about holistic care, mindfulness, and wellness but you've likely read enough of that by the time you've gotten here. So I'd rather be honest: In a world that feels so unauthentic right now, I strive to provide a space where you can speak freely and process what is going on with you and around you. I am a firm believer everyone is the master of their own experience, and therapy can be used as a tool to focus on changes you want to make and help you cope with it all. My goal is for you to show up each session willing to dive deep and make those shifts.

The effects of narcissistic abuse and relationship trauma often extend far beyond the relationship itself.
Many of the people I work with have spent years trying to push through the pain on their own. They've learned to function despite the anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, EMDR allows us to address the experiences that continue to shape how you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others.

In life, we all break down sometimes. There are moments when we need to pause and take care of ourselves. But that doesn’t mean we’ve lost our true value or who we really are. That part of us is still there. It may have just been hidden for a while. I hope to support people who want to reconnect with that part of themselves. Even if it takes time, that is okay. Your true colors can shine again.

Coercive control and narcissistic abuse rewire how you see yourself, until your own judgment feels unreliable.
Together we rebuild trust in your own perception, untangle the patterns you keep repeating, and move forward with clarity. My work sits where counseling, forensic evaluation, and family mediation meet, so I understand both the inner recovery and the legal terrain survivors often cross. You are not broken. You are patterned, and patterns can change.

Are you the one everyone counts on—The good child/spouse/parent? The dependable one. The strong one. The one who keeps everything running. From the outside, your life may look stable, responsible, even admirable. You handle things. You show up. You take care of everyone else. But inside, you might feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly disconnected from yourself. Maybe you’ve noticed you’re repeating the same painful patterns in your relationships—the same arguments, the same reactions, the same dynamics that once hurt you—and you find yourself asking, Why do I keep doing this? without knowing how to change it.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
