Sharing our stories can be hard. I know that it takes a lot of strength and vulnerability to open up with a therapist. The decision to seek therapy is usually at a difficult time in one’s life. When you are having trouble seeing the light, i’ll sit with you in the dark. You do not need to go through this alone. Your story is a privilege to hear and I will listen with empathy and sincerity, and without judgement or bias. I acknowledge that you are the expert of your own life. I will support and empower you on this journey. You have what it takes to become the best version of yourself.

As a psychotherapist at Family Strategies, my practice is anchored in the science of counseling, with a deep focus on trauma recovery in many areas such as: PTSD, sexual abuse, religious trauma, OCD, ADHD, relational psychological abuse and anxiety and depression. Some of the modalities in which I am trained also integrate neuroscience such as Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. After any traumatic event changes in the brain can occur sending us into a perpetual fight or flight mode. To heal we must involve modalities that rewire the brain. I'm thrilled to implement these and many more!

As we navigate pregnancy, birth, and parenthood, we are often challenged. Struggling with infertility. Feeling fearful as we prepare for our upcoming birth. Looking for a safe place to process birth trauma. Experiencing postpartum depression/anxiety. Difficulties adjusting to change. Seeking resolution about the past so we can be the kind of parents we want to be. Yearning to parent differently than we were raised, but not sure how. I will absolutely challenge you to do the work in these areas. And I will also be there to support you as you prioritize yourself and watch the rest of the pieces fall into place.

Many of us are carrying heavy burdens, the weight is visible. I see it and I see you. In my women-centered Ketamine therapy practice, I give my clients a safe space to explore, discover and recover. I use a science-based therapeutic approach combining Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy with supportive and integrative therapy. This allows for a closer connection between client and practitioner, opening pathways for changed minds, hearts, and behaviors. I promote a holistic approach by recognizing each woman's social, emotional, physical, spiritual and cultural needs. Each person is unique, and I address those individualized needs.

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for help. Many of us have learned that asking for help isn't safe yet reality tells us that genuine connection to others is as important as the oxygen you breathe. The truth is that you don't have to work through your painful losses, fears or heartaches alone. Everything that you experience has its reasons for existing and the good news is that your mind has a limitless capacity to learn, grow and heal. You deserve to make sense of your challenges even if the process is difficult. I can help guide you on your path to healing and understanding.

I work with couples and adults. People I have had the pleasure to work with are often in a transitional period of their life and feel stuck working through it on their own. You may fit criteria for the following issues: depression, anxiety, bipolar, chronic illness, sexual dysfunctions (including painful sex, low desire, erectile disorder, achieving orgasm too quickly, or not at all, STI diagnoses, sexual identity and/or orientation exploration, difficulty communicating with partners, partners who have mental health disorders, self-esteem, and body image challenges. I am a good fit for folks who are open to doing exercises at home.
