As a client-centered therapist, I believe in the human capacity to "self-actualize." In psychology, self-actualization is achieved when you're able to reach your full potential. I have learned that we are more alike than different in this work. Most people want to feel seen, heard, loved, valued, protected, and connected. Where one is missing, there is usually an amplification in anxiety. I am in the empathy business. I use connection and evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients clarify their "why" and navigate a path to deeper fulfillment—professionally and personally.

My practice primarily focuses on helping people who struggle in relationships. I use attachment theory to identify the type of dysfunction/trauma you adapted to early in life. These adaptations often create dysfunction or dissatisfaction in your relationships as an adult. We focus on how you attach to partners, peers, work, and yourself in ways that reflect your past and work on changing them in the present.

My ideal client is that person who's caught in the constant mental chatter of "did I say the right thing?" - the one who's always making sure everyone else is okay while feeling one deep breath away from overwhelm. Whether they're an adult tangled in patterns of checking and re-checking, lost in spirals of "what-if" thoughts, or a teen whose heart races every time a teacher might call on them, they're ready for change. They're looking to move beyond the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing and create a life that feels more like them - not just who everyone else needs them to be.

I love words and believe that healing is often found when we have space to tell our stories—to make sense of what we have lived, of who we are, and of where we hope to go. I specialize in walking with people who have experienced trauma and struggle to understand how to hold that trauma as a part of their story. I work well with clients who have experienced structural violence, including but not limited to sexual violence, relational violence, religious trauma, homophobia, fatphobia, racism, medical trauma, & complex trauma. I also work well with high achievers, college students, artists, writers, performers, thinkers, & creatives.

From adolescence through adulthood, the traps of perfectionism and the pressure to live up to expectations can be overwhelming. The constant drive to excel, try harder and push yourself can feel like you are sprinting a marathon. These pressures are easy to internalize and while you may look “fine” on the outside, it can take a toll on your well-being. Many clients I work with feel like they have been sprinting for years but are scared by what might happen if they slow down. This can lead to anxiety, depression, burn-out, and just a general sense of feeling stuck or unsatisfied.

Having been trained in a humanistic/holistic model of therapy (Experiential, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Family Systems), I have adhered to what is now called an “integrative” approach to mental health issues. Specifically, when I engage with a client we focus on the interaction of all the dimensions of his or her life, i.e., biological, psychological, social, behavioral, and spiritual. Subsequently, we embark on an exciting journey together to explore a path that leads to a more optimal state of well-being and a greater sense of wholeness.
