Many of my patients, both adults and children, have suffered complex and extensive adverse experiences. They come from all walks of life and have experiences specific to complex trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, narcissistic family systems, estrangement, divorce, and self-identity. These experiences have made it difficult for them to connect with others, verbalize their needs, and feel worthy of existing as their true selves. Together we will work collaboratively on developing trust and exploring who you are at your core.

Life is full of experiences that catch us off guard, leaving us feeling fragile and vulnerable and full of emotions that are difficult to manage.

As your therapist, I will walk beside you as you overcome life’s obstacles and help nurture any past wounds to help you live your best life. I have extensive experience treating clients with depression, anxiety, PPD/PPA, and trauma.

Narcissistic abuse is one of the most painful, disorienting experiences a person can live through. As a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC), my mission is to provide precise, impactful treatment, designed specifically for survivors of narcissistic abuse & those with narcissistic personality styles. Survivors, who typically already feel lost & misunderstood, deserve carefully curated care that aligns with their reality. Whether my clients would like to use the word “abuse” is up to them. Regardless of what we call it, recovery during & after these painful experiences can feel unbearable– but you are not alone.

I work with women experiencing stress, anxiety, body image issues, low self-esteem, issues with boundaries, relationship issues, and symptoms of depression. I acknowledge these moments are mind consuming and call for verbal processing and skill building. I meet each client where they are in their process and support them as they connect with their most authentic self.
