Seeking support takes a lot of courage, and you should be proud of yourself for taking the first step towards building awareness into your own thought processes and behaviors. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 9 years of clinical experience working in university college counseling centers and various teletherapy platforms. I understand how experiences and life transitions can increase stress and begin to impact emotional well-being, relationships, or individual performance.

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 am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years experience assisting adults, adolescents, and children work though emotional challenges, conflicts, and transitions. I believe every person is unique with distinct experiences, characteristics, and needs. My treatment is therefore an integration of different approaches tailored to the client's individualized needs. Symptom relief and attainment of goals begin with the establishment of a collaborative relationship in which my client can actively participate, experiences trust and confidence in my work, and feels respected, heard, and understood.

You might be seeking help because you feel stuck in your relationships, with your family or with your child. The stories of our lives are powerful and can shape our reality.

Together we can champion your innate healing capacity in a safe, emphatic, and attached, therapeutic relationship. Therapeutic support can help you recover your true sense of self as an individual or a parent, can heal family wounds, and help you find a renewed zest for life.

Life is a challenge and may be overwhelming at times for you as you are suffering from depression. Even the brave step in finding emotional support through therapy may be difficult to initiate for some people. My goal is to assist clients in helping them understand that there is a process of recovery of depression and to raise their awareness that they are not alone.

You don’t understand why your family causes you so many sleepless nights. You need someone to talk to but feel shame bringing up family issues or you don’t know where to start. You try to please everyone but you end up being the unhappy one. You cut off toxic family relationships but this leaves you feeling guilt, loneliness, and resentment. To prove yourself, you work hard and sometimes overcompensate. Past unresolved issues consume your energy, make you question yourself, and become hesitant to try a new relationship. You don’t want to be your parents but you don’t know how not to. You doubt if you can live a different life.

We are all complex beings and a dynamic approach is needed to honor that. I care to understand you and show up as a steady base as we work together toward your goals, collaborating with your system rather than trying to force it to be different. Who and how you are is welcome here.

I am glad you have made it this far on your journey. Typically the clients I work with have had experiences in life that have been traumatic, often early on. They have coped through these but the wounds are not yet fully healed. Those memories hold power over their present and they are seeking a different future where they are feeling lighter, freer, more fully their true selves. They value connection with others and want to process the challenges that keep cropping up. Trauma impacts us in seen and unseen ways, and at certain points in life we hear our inner intuition - the need to feel heard, understood and guided towards healing.

I work primarily with teens and adults and specialize in a variety of presenting concerns: stress/anxiety, depression, grief/loss, PTSD/trauma, body image/disordered eating, relationship difficulties/boundaries, career/life transitions. Some of us enter therapy with very specific goals, other times the goals become more clear as therapy progresses. Either way, something that is necessary is an openness and willingness to participate. I understand that therapy can be overwhelming in the beginning, and that is why my goal is first and foremost to always ensure that you as the client feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
