I have experience working with a range of diagnoses and topics including depression, anxiety, substance use, intense self criticism, fear of authenticty, PTSD, pregnancy/postpartum, grief, identity formation, family/ relational issues, and systemic oppression.
Do you find yourself highly self-aware yet still struggling to cope with emotional challenges? I assist individuals in moving from intellectualization to the integration of difficult emotions using somatic therapy and Internal Family Systems techniques. My goal is to help you develop the resources and tools to transition from thinking to truly feeling. I work well with people who are highly sensitive, struggle with perfectionism, and are curious about exploring the parts of themselves that have been shamed and repressed. I help by facilitating empowerment, teaching skills to relearn emotional safety, and centering one's story.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I also support/address relational patterns utilizing psycho-dynamic principles.
Life is full of ups and downs as we all know. However, sometimes it seems as if there are more downs than ups, and you need help finding out where things went wrong. You are not alone on your journey of life. No matter the age, I help clients navigate through life whether you are struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, or relationship issues. I also specialize in working with parents and men's issues. I offer a place where you will feel safe, comfortable, and free of judgment.

I use an integrative approach, which combines emotion-focused, relational, and evidence-based practices.
If you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or inadequate, I can help you. If you find yourself making the same choices despite wanting different outcomes, I can help you. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space so that you can better understand yourself, your relationships, and your patterns of behavior. Together, we will discover root causes to current problems and directly address the underlying source of distress, so that change is effective and long-lasting.

Survival relational patterns surface.
I am a trauma specialist working with developmental, relational, and shock traumas. Relationship is what we long for from our deep selves. From birth, our instinct is to connect in order to feel safety, comfort, and wholeness. This yearning moves with us throughout our lives. Connection gives us a sense of belonging and of being "okay". Be it the relationship with self, body, others, and life experience, the connection and flow of it is vital for healthy functioning. When the connection is blocked, frozen, or severed, a whole-self cannot thrive. Reconnecting is essential for our authentic self-expressions.

I have particular strengths in working with life transitions, trauma (including heavy combat experiences and first responder experiences), grief, and relational distress.
I provide relationally-centered therapy addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, isolation, trauma, shame, identity development and exploration, life transitions, and relational stress/conflict. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, which recognizes you as the expert on your experiences, needs, and desires. I am affirming and experienced in working with people of diverse neurotypes (ADHD/Autism), gender identities, sexual orientations, and relational orientations (i.e. ethical non-monogamy).

I specialize in working with individuals and couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, work stress, perfectionism, life transition, relational issues, identity issues, and loss.
Are you feeling stuck? Sometimes, it can be confusing to even know why you feel this way or what's causing it, but you know that something just doesn't feel right anymore. Whether it's due to relationship issues, work stress, other life issues, or a combination of any/all of those, therapy can help provide relief and get you back to who you were/would like to be. This can mean looking to your past to help explain the present or identifying outdated roles and narratives that you are living by, which no longer serve you.

Through a relational/intersubjective lens, we can work through long standing relationship and emotional issues and concerns.
Starting therapy and picking a therapist can be stressful. Think about our first meeting simply as a conversation. Whether you're choosing a new career, getting in/out of a relationship, or mourning the loss of a loved one, it's often helpful to talk to an objective person outside of your family or friend group to understand what is going on and to create new, positive coping skills. In my practice, I see adults and couples. I bring my extensive education, training and experience as a social worker and contemporary psychoanalyst to our work.

I also support parents, and work with them to better understand the underlying causes of their children's acting-out, self-harming, and/or self-isolating behaviors.
Primarily, I work from a psychodynamic approach, utilizing process comments and the therapeutic relationship to examine underlying attachment styles and relational dynamics.
I have worked with patients suffering from a variety of presenting problems including depression, anxiety, disordered eating, relational difficulties, and life transitions. I enjoy working with patients who are curious, introspective, and open to experiencing themselves differently. I will help in identifying current self-narratives, and will support you in rewriting scripts that are inaccurate and no longer serving you. I see immense value in examining childhood experiences and family dynamics and will help you process past experiences to reduce the hold they may have on you today.
