The goal of my practice is to reduce suffering, expand personal freedom, and create a stable and joyous life for my patients. And because the problems people face in life are as unique as people themselves, I approach therapy in a highly personalized manner. I have experience working on a wide range of problems from adjustment to life stress and transforming pervasive negativity to managing and transforming complex mental and emotional pain.

Our thoughts and feelings color our lives; if you want changes, start with your mind. Small changes in your thoughts can lead to big changes in your life. I help people with matters like anxiety, anger management, addictions, narcissistic relationship-rehab, neuroscience-based wellness support, existential crises, insomnia, grief, depression, and boundary setting support. The 'active ingredient' in therapy is the relationship between a client and their therapist. Therapy is a gift to the self; it's a moment in our busy week focused solely on us; a safe place to be real, to unpack, and to ultimately grow.

My goal as an integrative counselor is to help you reduce suffering and increase your capacity for joy, resiliency and life fulfillment. I am interested in understanding your unique experience of stress, how you hold these memories and what patterns of response have formed. I enjoy helping people free their whole being (mind, body and soul) to greater ease and I personalize my approach based on your needs. I draw from both talk and somatic therapies, including narrative, Internal Family Systems and mindfulness based principles.

Life is a lot right now. You're not alone!
Healing goes beyond symptom relief. t’s about exploring who you truly are. We often build an “ego” to meet others’ expectations, but this can keep us from our deeper selves. Together, we’ll peel back these layers, not to remove the ego but to understand it. Vulnerability here is powerful; it helps soften old wounds and release limiting beliefs. Using mindfulness and self-compassion, you’ll start connecting to your true values and gain resilience. Therapy offers a safe space to reconnect with your inner wisdom, embrace your genuine self, and discover a more fulfilling way of being.

You hold a lot — and you hold it well.
You’re a parent, clinician, or professional carrying significant responsibility. On the outside, you stay capable and composed. Inside, your nervous system rarely settles. Anxiety, chronic stress, tension, fatigue, and difficulty resting have become familiar — even when life is “fine.”
You sense your symptoms carry meaning, not something to override or fix, but something asking to be understood. You’re seeking calm and grounded presence without losing your clarity or drive.

Suffering is often a call from the soul, a call for change. It takes courage to answer that call, and sometimes someone to walk along beside you as you journey through the dark and unknown spaces. Our strengths often reside in these spaces, in the parts of ourselves that we’ve rejected and stuffed away. I offer a collaborative and safe environment that honors the wide spectrum of humanness and the intrinsic power and worth of each individual. By listening deeply to the messages of our physical experience, as well as our thought patterns, emotions and spiritual perceptions, greater well-being and health are possible.

What is the relationship between weight management and mental health?
Mental health can be significantly influenced by one's physical health, so overall improvements in one's quality of life as a result of improved physical functioning from weight loss can have an overall positive impact on an individual's mental health and allow them to engage more readily in everyday activities. In addition, many strategies used to manage weight, such as exercise and maintaining a healthy diet, are also associated with reducing the symptoms of common mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. Individuals may also benefit from the improved self-esteem and self-efficacy that can come with successful weight management.
What is the psychological approach to losing weight?
While there are no specific therapy modalities specifically for weight loss, common psychological therapies can be highly effective in helping clients make lasting lifestyle changes. This may be called the "psychological approach" to weight loss because it does not rely on physical interventions, such as medication or weight loss surgery, to help clients lose weight. Weight loss counseling can be used in addition to or instead of such physical interventions. Some clients simply seek therapy to address the challenges that may accompany weight loss in general, including negative thoughts surrounding their body, disordered eating patterns, or difficulty completing daily tasks as a result of their weight challenges. In such cases, therapists will often utilize behavioral coaching or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients understand how their thoughts may be influencing their diet and physical activity patterns.
What type of therapy is commonly used in weight loss counseling?
Weight loss counseling often involves a combination of therapy and psychoeducation. Common techniques used by weight loss counselors include journaling, thought diaries, and other Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies that encourage clients to consider how their feelings about their weight loss impact their mental health. Weight loss counselors may also teach clients mindfulness exercises, which can be used by clients during and after eating to be more aware of physical cues from their body surrounding eating. Some clients looking for weight loss therapy may also benefit from group therapy approaches, which utilize the power of social connection and accountability to help clients adhere to their weight loss plan.
Is therapy recommended for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery?
While therapy is not a requirement for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery, many individuals undergoing weight loss surgery may benefit from seeing a counselor. Prior to surgery, counselors can help clients decide whether surgical weight loss is a good fit for them and assist in surgery preparation. Post-surgery, counselors can assist clients with the psychological component of maintaining their weight loss, as well as help clients navigate any postoperative pain. Throughout the surgical process, therapists can help clients process body-image challenges that may come with dramatic changes in weight, as well as manage symptoms of anxiety or depression that may accompany the major life changes bariatric surgery can bring.
