I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in Anxiety Disorders/ OCD, Eating Disorders, and PTSD/Trauma. I approach my clients from a team stance, always making sure they have a well-rounded support base around them. I am EMDR trained and use it as a tool with my existing clients and as well as see clients who primarily seek EMDR sessions to move stuck experiences and core beliefs. To me, the importance of therapy is to get your life back into balance as addiction and trauma can create an "all or nothing" element and a repetition of patters and maladaptive behaviors.

My clinical work spans seventeen years, covering issues including grief and loss, trauma, infertility, creative blocks, divorce, childhood abuse, anxiety and depression, marital conflict and parenting challenges.
Our lives are constructed from many roles and stories. We, as human beings, are the teller of those tales. Is your narrative one, as Plato stated, flowing from "three sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge?" Is it rich in self-care, dignity, and compassion? Or, are the stories and thoughts you carry heartless, punitive, or corrosive?

Waitlist for new clients
With practice in many areas - MBA with corporate experience, Masters in Landscape Architecture, EMDR treatment for trauma, Registered Art Therapist, licensure as a Marital and Family Therapist, I am able to understand where most people come from and how to go about helping you find your way towards a healthy mental state.
I help clients find paths that nurture and grow parts of the self that can enhance one’s experience of life to be fulfilling and whole. People come to me wanting to find out why their life is not satisfying and what could be done to work towards that goal. Often times they are stuck in life situations that block creativity and paths to self defined success. Goals often include happiness, pain relief (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional), self-awareness, productivity, insight, improved socialization, healthy relationships (or finding one), meaning, and contentment with life.

I'm a highly experienced psychologist who specializes in women's issues, LGBTQ+ community, especially bisexual and pansexual individuals, BIPOC folks, Asian Americans, concerns with sex, dating, and marriage, anxiety, social anxiety, family conflicts, body image, and eating disorders.
I believe that it takes great courage to take that first step in reaching out for help, whether you are coming from a place of sadness, anxiety, loneliness, grief, or confusion. It can also feel scary to look inward and honor your truth and to let your "true colors" shine. Together, we can process and sort through the pain and help you find meaning, clarity, healing, joy, and connection.
