If you are confused and uncertain whether you are on the "right" path in your career, relationships, or important life choices, then therapy may be a great avenue for you to explore and find the answers that are unique to you. Sometimes it can be really hard to "hear" or "feel" your truth, your intuition, and gut instinct when doubt clouds your mind and the internal dialogue and chatter are loud and debilitating. Having low self-esteem, or feeling insecure in relationships and goals in life can be stressful and anxiety provoking.

I am a trauma-trained therapist with a passion for healing. I believe that everything we want is achieved through a healthy and strong connection with the self, which happens when we integrate and embrace the experiences of the body, soul, spirit, and mind (wholeness). My goal as a therapist is to support you through the work of moving to the other side of trauma, and becoming whole so that you may live confidently and intentionally today.

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.

The therapeutic process is a collaborative journey with the potential for transformation, heightened self-awareness, and a sense of integrated wholeness. I believe the relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of the healing process, which is why finding a therapist who is the right fit is essential. In my practice, I integrate elements of Gestalt therapy, IFS, EMDR, and somatic approaches to explore patterns, uncover their origins, and address accompanying emotions. I engage my clients through warmth, open-mindedness, direct communication, and, when fitting, humor.

Whether you are presently in crisis or simply feeling a bit stuck in life, I honor the effort & courage that it took you to get here. It suggests that—regardless of how you might feel in this moment—some small (or large) part of you believes in the possibility of a more peaceful, fulfilling life. As a therapist, I am here to not only affirm and amplify that belief, but more importantly, to help you discover and define its reality for yourself.

Transitions can create disconnect and emotional distress. Becoming a parent can be especially challenging. We may feel overwhelmed, burned out, or just struggling to find joy. Our relationships may suffer, creating feelings of isolation and loneliness. Interrupted sleep and added stress make it hard to engage in daily life. We may carry guilt or shame as we struggle to fulfill the needs of those we love, leaving our own needs unmet. The transition to parenting young children may also mark a shift in identity, struggling to define who we are and "how to remain me." Being a parent does not have to be so hard — relief is in reach.

My clients are couples who want to feel confident without punishing themselves and build sturdy and sustainable self-trust. They desire closeness and the ability to lean on each other without being codependent. They value autonomy in their relationship while generating shared future dreams and meaning. We will navigate and explore the meaning behind feelings, behaviors, and challenges and observe possible differences between intent and impact. You can expect couples therapy with me to be tailored to you and your partner, structured with flexibility, and clear with tangible steps for the communication and dynamic change you want.

When you begin the therapeutic journey, you can feel very vulnerable. My clients make lasting changes and attain the confidence to take the risks to succeed, in an atmosphere of warmth and encouragement. I work with parents, children, teens, and adults addressing anxiety, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, and social issues. They learn to live authentic lives and learn to live in the moment. I have a lot of experiencing with divorced families and help them coparent and do what is in the best interest of their children.

I am an EMDR therapist who helps strong, independent and sensitive people get unstuck from the same rollercoaster of emotions and patterns. On your good days, you feel positive about yourself and where you're headed in life. Other times, you are weighed down by anxiety, depression, worry, and negative thoughts about yourself or something that happened to you in the past. And this impacts your work, school, or relationships. Maybe you've even gone to therapy before in the past; while it did help, you still feel stuck in a loop of negative emotions and are just ready to move forward!
