Initiating therapy is a courageous and vulnerable step. For many who have experienced trauma, addiction, and relational issues in their past, this is can be an intense experience. I will work closely with you to understand your individual circumstances and needs. Together, we will build a plan that honors your journey of healing. As a therapist, I will work to provide a safe space and act as a guide as you build insight and explore new ways of living. My goal is to promote healing from within, shift pervasive beliefs that no longer serve you, and help you explore and uncover attunement to your purpose and sense of self.

I firmly believe that you are the ultimate authority of your life story and I aim to guide you on the path to unlocking your fullest potential and reclaiming your inner strength. I will always honor your voice, your experiences, and your journey, so that we may co-create a therapeutic alliance built on mutual respect, trust, and hopefully laughter. An ideal candidate for my therapeutic approach is someone who is grappling with an array of challenges, including symptoms related to identity, self-image, neurodiversity, family dynamics, being a teenager, marriage issues, and anything else that life throws at you.

If you are struggling with mental health, relational issues, stress, and struggles with substance use, I may be able to help. I have over 20 years of experience.

I use a holistic approach incorporating psychodynamic theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, developmental psychology, and addiction treatment.

For many life can be one of two things, either you feel like you are never enough so why try or you feel like you have to always keep pushing and keep going never able to relax. If never enough, you have tried everything to pull yourself out and people are quick to tell you how, so you put on a smile to hide it. On the other, you pride yourself on how much you accomplish but feel less than when you slow. Maybe you are struggling in a relationship and ready to learn how to not only have healthier relationship-building boundaries but also interested in learning out how to draw closer through empathetic attunement.

You once believed there was more to life. On the brink of losing hope in the life you deserve, you've resigned to just survive, barely. The old worn out saying recycles like garbage, “If at first, you don’t succeed, try, try again,” only to be met with more failure. Disgust darkens your mood and sours your relationships. At work, at home, life has become a battle ground, Covid culture, politics, technology and media divides those you meet and love. Your name could replace Murphy’s Law, whatever can go wrong….endless trials and tribulations. So tired of it all. You wonder if there isn't a better way to live and love.
