Relationship recovery is about going from relationships that no longer serve you to learning self-trust and mutually satisfying relationships.
If you are struggling with relationships, codependency or anger, let's talk. Codependent behaviors like people pleasing, low self-esteem and giving too much create unhealthy, one-sided relationships. Maybe you're already in recovery but need more individualized help. You can change these patterns at your own pace and get relief. Anger management is another area where I can help. Whether you explode or stuff your anger, learn how to handle emotions in healthy way. Relationships and self-esteem improve when you have the skills it takes to take care of yourself and communicate effectively. You're not alone!

I find it a privilege to work with adolescents and adults during periods of growth, transition, or challenge in their lives. My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic and depth-oriented, incorporating attachment theory, family systems and other somatic practices to help re-wire the nervous system. I believe we are wired for connection but breaks in relationship to ourselves and others can lead to depression, anxiety, numbing, distorting, shame, anger, addictions, and compulsions.

You get shaky, sweaty, and your mind starts racing. You feel like other people can see, and wonder what is wrong with you. And the worst part? It just keeps getting worse. It is getting more intense, and happening more often. It feels like you barely get through the day, and feel exhausted. You fall into bed, and then there you are.... wired and tired. Your head is spinning all night and once you fall asleep your alarm goes off and you have to do it all again the next day. It feels like every decision is impossible. You talk it all out, think you've got a plan about work, school, or your relationship and then it fails.

My approach is grounded in contemporary research and focuses on fostering a strong therapeutic relationship with the individuals I work with to achieve emotional and personal growth.
Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and challenged by the many demands in our lives. Managing relationships, parenting, and work/life balance can leave us feeling lost and confused on how to move forward. And sadly, not addressing these challenges can lead us to feeling like we’re drowning and far from living a fulfilling life. We believe that it shouldn’t be so hard to live better. We can change for the better, and a lot of times, all we need is support, understanding, and hope to find those answers in a collaborative and comfortable environment.

Hi! Thanks for considering me as your therapist.

My area of focus includes but is not limited to grief and loss, anxiety, depressive symptoms, adjusting to change and life-transitions, relationship-issues, and life challenges resulting from racial and multicultural identity.
Therapy is essential to healing from crisis-related trauma, however it does not always have to be crisis responsive.

While the influence of life experience from infancy through adulthood is undeniable, I specialize in using person-centered therapy that focuses on the present with strengths-based, solutions-oriented emphasis and holistic and mindfulness practices that nurture self- awareness.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
