Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. Authenticity and trust are the foundation of that process, so it's important to find someone you feel comfortable working with. Uncovering your inner strength and actuating your emotional intelligence begins with exploration of the psychic house you live in. I help people with anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, racial and gender anxiety, substance abuse, and career transition.

Managing our emotional world can be tough. My aim is to help you gain a better understanding of how your experiences have impacted the way you approach life and identify areas that need adjustment to reduce stress and increase balance. The safe space I create with my clients is designed to increase openness and authenticity, deepen self-awareness, and turn it into action toward their goals. I approach each client uniquely and help my clients develop coping skills based on their individual needs. Some skills include somatic experiencing to help nervous system regulation, CBT, and mindfulness/meditation techniques.

I help clients overcome struggles, uncover inner strengths, and develop a greater sense of purpose and meaning in life. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed by work or personal stressors, relationship difficulties, times of adjustment and transition, or past trauma. I can provide you with the support and guidance to transform these difficulties into an opportunity to grow stronger, develop inner resources and resiliency, and connect with what brings you joy. I particularly enjoy working with individuals with a reflective and curious nature, and have specific experience working with those in creative fields.

For over thirteen years, I've been seeing clients (both individuals and couples) and my goal has always been to help them achieve meaningful change, whether in getting through a difficult current situation or wanting to break old patterns that keep them from living a more fulfilling life. Some challenges I've helped people overcome include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, feeling stuck in a rut, grief, hopelessness, self-esteem issues, and work-related stress. Exploring these issues with a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental therapist can really help.

I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, grief, trauma/PTSD, narcissistic abuse, & relationship issues, as well as those who are simply seeking greater self-awareness and insight. My clients tend to be curious, creative, out-of-the-box thinkers who are highly motivated to create change in their lives. I believe in drawing upon my clients' inherent strengths and sense of resiliency. I am particularly interested in the link between the body and mind, and enjoy teaching my clients practical tools to help improve their daily lives. I am trained in both EMDR and Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM).

In my work with children and teenagers, I see behavior as having meaning. Difficult behaviors such as defiance, tantrums, aggression, and isolation are often the youth’s maladaptive attempts at communicating emotions. I see my role as a facilitator of effective communication, collaborating with youth to understand their experiences and identify/verbalize their thoughts and feelings. With a decade of working with kids in a variety of settings, I work primarily from a relational and attachment-based foundation, which utilizes compassion, attunement, and co-regulation to promote wellbeing through enhanced relationships and self-worth.

I have worked extensively with children who struggle with symptoms of ADHD, depression, anxiety and autism who need support in managing the everyday social complexities that they face within their school, family and community environments.

My practice is grounded in my belief in the transformative power of therapy. So often in life, we hide parts of ourselves that feel unacceptable or shameful. In this space, we can be curious and open, working together towards self-understanding, growth, and finding a path to one's authentic self. My style is empathetic, warm, intuitive, direct and non-judgmental. influenced by intensive post-graduate trainings in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Modern life is challenging for a variety of reasons. I believe we’re all doing the best we can, but sometimes we don’t know why life isn’t going as well as we'd like. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, loneliness, career ambitions, or fulfilment, therapy provides a safe environment to better understand what’s troubling you. The therapeutic space is sacred to me because vulnerability requires trust and leads to healing. Sometimes, we need permission to feel. Other times, we need to uncover our authentic selves. No matter the personal challenge, I will provide you with curiosity and acceptance.

The story of our growth is often a story of change — in the layered identities we inhabit, the relationships that anchor us, and the responsibilities we are called to step into. Moving through life changes like separating from a partner, shifting careers, becoming a parent, or losing a loved one can make us feel unmoored and overwhelmed, stranded someplace between who we once were and who we are becoming. I work with my clients to explore the unique complexities, challenges, and opportunities for empowerment that lay inside these vulnerable, vital periods of transition.

Book your free initial consultation on my website! Having both degrees in medicine and psychology helped me to create a holistic approach which incorporates science, soul, and body. During our work together I will gently guide you towards the goals you want to achieve as well as explore and release all the difficulties you have on the way. My mission is to show my clients that everything they want is possible and there is always a way to feel happy and satisfied with your life. It is true that sometimes we go through a lot of challenges that can make us feel hopeless or desperate, and we think it is impossible to get better.

This world can be a lonely and overwhelming place. Therapy provides a space to process the chaos of life while deepening your relationships - with yourself, with others, with the unknowable. When we allow ourselves to be truly seen and accepted, healing can begin.

I am all about developing peace and joy in life, but that can seem beyond reach when you're going through difficult times. Current stressors could affect your sense of wellbeing. If you are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, or some other discomfort, there might be underlying issues and remote memories, triggering you. Your relationship or career could be affected and you might be ready to do something about it. If you need to move on from problematic childhood events or heal unprocessed trauma, psychotherapy can offer relief and a (much) better life quality.

Welcome! My task as your therapist is to first provide a space where you’ll feel free to talk openly and be your truest self. Then, together, we will get to the bottom of whatever it is that may be contributing to the way you're feeling, and collaborate on ways you can begin to feel more at ease, empowered, and in alignment with your personal values, goals, and unique identity. I believe that we all hold the ability to manage life's challenges. To do this, we sometimes need a supportive guide. Enter therapy.

I specialize in helping re-wire patterned thinking in your brain through talk therapy. Without a bunch of clinical jargon, we have relatable conversations in session where I will both nurture you and challenge you when needed. We stay in the present to shift behaviors and ways of thinking, while also getting to the root of the issues and feelings by understanding and processing them at the core.
