I learn from my patients as well! Specialties: couples (including bi-cultural couples), eating disorders, substance addiction, adult survivors of abuse.
I want to help people discover, think about, give meaning to, and find compassion for, alienated parts of themselves that are repressed and forbidden, containing unmet needs, historic conflicts, and unfulfilled dreams. Reunion with these parts can help people better understand their current behaviors, thoughts, and feelings and develop options for changing old patterns in their relationships with themselves, partners, and work that were once effective defenses against psychological pain. Therapy helps us become more fully alive, creative, connected to others, and free to be ourselves with less, and perhaps more realistic, fear-- individually, in our families, cultures, and society.

Trying to find a therapist in this oversaturated market is challenging, to say the least. Therapy should be personalized to each individual client's strengths and challenges. With that in mind, I believe in taking a collaborative approach. Whether adjusting to current life stressors or coping with past trauma, I seek to empower individuals, new parents, couples, and families to change negative communication and behaviors and build on existing strengths.

I help couples, adults, and adolescents deal with anxiety, relationships, troubled self esteem, conflict/conflict avoidance, attachment insecurity, co-dependence, people pleasing, understanding emotions, addiction/recovery, gender/sexuality, navigating life with neurodivergence, complex trauma, and feelings of guilt, dread, and fear, among other issues.
I think therapeutic relationships work best when there is a foundation of emotional safety. Upon this foundation many things can be achieved, including understanding ourselves and others with greater depth and clarity, tolerating discomfort for growth, and allowing for our natural ability to heal. There are many good reasons to come to therapy, including distress that doesn't have a good explanation (which is what anxiety and depression often are), the loss of a loved one or important relationship, the wish to thrive more, or feeling unable to address life's problems. Seeking help takes courage and hope; it's no easy task.

I believe the goal of therapy is for the client to feel seen and understood, and that everyone has the capacity for growth and change. By developing a caring, empathic, and trusting relationship with my clients, it becomes possible for the individual to make connections, deepen his/her awareness and gain clarity about relationships, problems and personal patterns. It is through this process that growth and change can be made.
