There can be so much pressure to know who you are at a young age, but most people don’t! Therapy can be a place to explore who you are, who you want to be, and how you want to get there. As a therapist I care about empowering you to find your voice and engage in value-congruent action. I strive to work collaboratively, be mindful of power and privilege, and always seek to understand the world as you see and experience it so we can better find your path forward.

Contemporary society places an enormous burden upon the individual to succeed - and look good while doing it - at the same time as the fabric of our families are disintegrating and social supports are fragmented. Many of us have survived a childhood of chaos and, if we have been able to form a lasting intimate relationship, find that our partner is ill-equipped as well, to surmount the many personal, financial, social, political challenges of today's world. My approach is informed by therapeutic practices which emphasize compassion, gaining insight, and developing acceptance of one's true self.

It is so lovely to see you here. Congratulations on taking the first (and sometimes hardest) step in improving your mental health and quality of life! I am a neuropsychologist, which means I specialize in the evaluation & diagnosis of brain disorders. In other words, I can help answer questions such as "Do I have memory difficulties...ADHD, a learning disorder, dementia, or brain changes from a head injury or other illness?" or "How can I improve my organization or memory while dealing with symptoms of my diagnosis such as ADHD or a stroke".

You want someone who gets you, who can put words to things you’ve been feeling, who can break it down in a way you understand. You want someone who will accept you as you are without judgment, and yet hold you accountable to your higher self, your greater good. You don't want to have to explain who you are to someone who doesn't get it, while you're trying to get help from them. You want to side-step the microaggressions, unpack the internalized oppression, so you can love yourself and be the BOSS you were meant to be.

My goal is to help my clients break free from pain and embark on a journey towards personal growth. I know how it feels to be stuck in pain, and I know how amazing and life changing it feels to find a way out. I believe that this process is what builds beautiful, strong resilient people. My mission is to guide individuals like you along this path of self-discovery and resilience-building. I believe that this journey involves two key steps. First, we must process and heal from past pain. Then we can embark on an exploration of creativity, nature, spirituality, connection and pursuing your personal values and passions.

Do you feel like the past is robbing you from the present moment? Or like the past keeps repeating itself? It may be a new relationship or experience but you continue to feel this anguish as if "it is happening all over again." Traumatic experiences can leave very deep wounds in our psyche; most times, we don't even realize how these unprocessed experiences continue to impact our present, including our relationships. Increasing our awareness regarding our past and understanding our present patterns without judgment, help us to expand our ability to live a meaningful life in wholeness. Therapy is a safe space to start.

I empower survivors of adult sexual assault and intimate partner violence reconnect their mind and body with their spirit and attain safety through value exploration, in order to navigate healthy intimate partnerships and pleasure after trauma. Are you tired of feeling so disconnected. As though you’re completely removed from your body, like a foreigner in your own skin. You move through life on autopilot – a passive bystander without any sense of agency.

Our childhood experiences shape the way we view and experience ourselves, others, and the world. When we understand why we think, feel, and behave the way we do, we can begin to accept our past and enjoy our present. I use the past strategically to connect the dots to today’s unhelpful patterns that are no longer serving you and causing distress in your life. We will work together on identifying and changing self-defeating patterns, developing healthier ways to manage emotions and challenging situations, resolving past traumas and inner conflicts, and uncovering the underlying meaning and purpose of your behaviors.
