No matter the circumstances, the facts remain the same: our bodies are designed to keep us safe and reduce discomfort. Issues arise when we are no longer needing to seek safety yet unknowingly maintain these unhelpful patterns of beliefs and behaviors. Our unconscious attempts to insulate ourselves from harm turn into patterns that destroy the connections to ourselves and others that we desire most. My goal is to provide a therapeutic relationship for clients as they gain understanding and develop new beliefs and behaviors to transform their lives, reach their goals and have the relationships they ultimately desire.
Since trauma is stored in the body and not cognitive, I utilize psychodynamic modalities such as Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness and Somatic Processing to uncover root cause and empower clients to be their own agents of healing. My approach is collaborative, designing an integrative plan with each client customized to their needs and goals.
In a world where we are inundated with endless tools, hacks and data to improve ourselves, it’s common not to know where to begin when we feel stuck. Often, the most powerful tool for transformation is not a tool at all but a relationship. My goal is to hold hope and space for where you are and where you want to be while navigating the path together.

I incorporate a Psychodynamic, Attachment-Based Interpersonal Neurobiological (IPNB) approach in my practice by using a holistic, integrative lens. In other words, I evaluate your physical, emotional and social states, from what you eat to what your support system looks like, to understand where you are and where you've been to determine the optimal path to obtain your desired goals.
