I work with individuals and families on bringing healing and transformation to their life.

If you find that fear, conflict and self judgement cloud your path, I can help you find hope.

I advocate fiercely for the best interest of your child and family.
Anchor Psychotherapy, Inc. - Traumatic memory appears without warning. It stops you in your tracks, invades, and overwhelms. In a moment’s notice, your body and brain feel hijacked. No matter what you try and bury it under: work, food, relationships – it’s still there. You may dissociate or maybe you’re watching it happen across the room, in your child’s face. You never asked for this, but, then again, neither did they. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your family, or the child in your life, I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and walk through this with you.

I utilize a trauma-informed approach integrating EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and Somatic therapies while drawing from other techniques, such as CBT and Narrative therapy, to help people regulate their nervous systems and unblock trauma.
Whether you were embarking on motherhood, a new career, a new phase of life, or a relationship, you began the journey filled with anticipation and joy. However, life has brought on some unexpected twists and turns, leaving you feeling out of control and disappointed. The inner critic inside you is taking over, leaving you stuck in an endless cycle of self-blame and self-doubt, feeling helpless and hopeless about how to move forward.

My theoretical orientation is influenced by Family/Relational Systems, Self Psychology and Jungian Psychology.
Thoughts, feelings and actions are all energetically connected. Conscious insight into all three of these is essential for changing patterns that no longer serve you. I provide support, tools and insight to help you find the resources within yourself and your life to help you deal with loss/grief, shift relationship patterns, heal personal struggles, and alleviate depression and anxiety. A good therapeutic connection can provide a different experience and perspective, and help you heal and thrive in your life. You do not need to be a prisoner of your past. You can transform your present and create your future.

I aim to meet you where you are mentally and emotionally and help you grow, learn skills, and adapt to new changes. We can work together to identify your goals and needs and address the emotional and behavioral challenges you experience.

I utilize a multi-disciplinary approach with clients, including family systems theory, cognitive behavioral theory, and person-centered therapy, among others.
I believe that when individuals enter therapy, they can learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes that have kept them trapped in cycles which do not allow them to live their best lives. Through therapy individuals are free to experience change as they learn the tools to let go of what is not working for them. I am passionate about working with individuals who are committed to bettering themselves and making positive shifts in their lives. Taking time to focus on one’s self is hard work, but there is truly nothing more rewarding, and I believe everyone has the ability to change.

I use interventions from a number of philosophies including Internal Family Systems Therapy, EMDR, and the existential tradition.
My mission as a therapist is to affirm the best in you. I believe that as human beings we require a sense of safety and affirmation in order to take the courageous step of examining our own lives, even those aspects that are painful. I seek to provide that safety with a warm and collaborate approach to treatment. The services I provide are trauma focused and identity affirming. I have experience working with young adults in community mental health, as well as with adolescents in a high school setting.

I don't know what brings you, but I know that it can take a lot of courage to reach out for support. Therapy is a powerful statement to yourself that you, your relationship and your family matters. The heart of my work revolves around assisting you in the journey of your choosing. Often I am supporting people who are interested in uncovering and unlearning painful negative beliefs about themselves. So often we have internalized a harmful message early in life -I'm bad. I'm not good enough. My needs don't matter. Together we can process the events that led to those beliefs and find the self-love and compassion to heal.

I approach child therapy by incorporating parents and family, utilizing play therapy which is based on imagination and creativity to support development and connection.

I ensure our space is safe and inclusive for all people, honoring and encouraging your individuality. I recognize the relationship between client and therapist as a foundational component to psychotherapy. Growing and fostering this relationship is a process that I am immensely committed to, which can foster lasting positive change and build resilience. With this dedication to safety, relationship and trust, healing can begin.

I also specialized in treating anxiety due to multicultural issues (loss of identity, career issues, & dysfunctional family dynamics).
We all go through emotional storms where we feel emotionally and physically stuck; we worry too much and lose control of ourselves. Do you find yourself thrown off balance by your childhood trauma? Childhood traumatic experiences such as abandonment, abuse, and neglect lead to social anxiety. My approach is solution-focused and tailored to your needs and goals. I am committed to providing a profound sense of safety and offering compassionate and actionable guidance to all my clients.
