Outwardly, you seem to have it all together. You’re living the perfect life… on paper. On the inside, it feels like you’re just keeping your head above water. Days are lackluster and monotonous, like someone muted all the colors of life. Yet the painful emotions are vibrant as ever, and are starting to feel overwhelming: anxiety, loneliness, shame. Gnawing emptiness. You try to distract yourself, but it’s getting harder. The critical voice in your head is growing more insistent. You can’t talk about it because you’re the one people go to with their problems. You know something has to change, but you don’t know how or where to start.

Are you stuck in frustrating patterns that you don’t understand or know how to fix? Maybe you repeatedly skirt the truth to avoid conflict. You keep saying “yes,” when deep down you know you desperately want to say “no.” You resent yourself and others because you just can’t seem to set boundaries or ask for what you need. Your anger keeps getting the best of you and hurting the relationships you care about most. You’re frozen in anxiety and can’t seem to shift these patterns even though you know you need to.

I believe each of us is unique. Therefore, in my practice as a licensed clinical psychologist my initial goal is to get to know you so we can, in collaboration, find the best strategies to help you live your life in the way that is most satisfying to you. As a cognitive behavior therapist, it is my goal to be the guide, along with you, to reach your goals by looking at any maladaptive habits, thoughts, or behaviors you have developed that brought you in to therapy.

I have worked in hospital outpatient centers, community mental health, residential recovery centers, and in-home services with survivors of sexual assault and adults who struggle with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. I am interested in understanding one's emotional responses, interpersonal concerns, and patterns in relationships, identity development, and bettering the person's life as a whole. I believe that every person can grow into the best version of themselves through therapy. When we look inside and grow through what we’ve gone through, we can achieve our true potential.

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.
