I seek to enter into the relational trenches with clients as they grapple with challenging dilemmas, trauma, personal identity, anxiety, and relational distress. It is a gift to be a part of the stories, pains, questions, fears, and hopes individuals experience in their inner world. As a psychodynamically-oriented listener, it is my goal to journey with clients through pain and fear into freedom and closeness. I believe therapy provides a safe and unhurried space to process these things up close. I have advanced training in anxiety and its defenses, spirituality and identity development, and emotionally-focused couples therapy.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

I love working with young adults. Right now your lives are filled with choices and decisions, and you may be trying to develop deep, long-lasting relationships. You've got so many life transitions going on all at once, and it can be very confusing! If you also have emotional pain happening in your life at the same time, you may feel "stuck" in moving forward. There's so much to look forward to in your life and you don't want to miss out.

Listening to clients' struggles, I am reminded how our increasingly complicated world tests daily our capacity to adapt and cope. Relationships encounter myriad of challenges, our identity undergoes major pressures and shifts. Ourselves as well as our loved ones are faced regularly with crises and upheavals. When feeling overwhelmed, many people seek support as they reach into familiar coping modes, which may no longer be helpful. In this context, therapy may start as a unique form of education and continue as a process of self growth, a journey of profound transformation.
