My career has included working with individuals of all different ages and mental health disorders. I have had the opportunity to be trained in several different therapy modalities. I have training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). All these trainings have allowed me to develop a large therapeutic toolbox in which I can draw many resources and therapeutic tools from.

Immediate openings! Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can promise you, that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don't believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be super intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to schedule a session and see how I can help.

Have you walked a difficult path in your lifetime? Maybe your life right now just feels exhausting. Do past experiences make feeling good about who you are today difficult? Do you struggle with down or worrisome days and feel misunderstood? Do you feel like you have goals but feel unsure as to how to reach them? Maybe you just want to talk to someone that you feel finally understands what it is like to walk in your shoes.

Let's go there! Let's go to the place that addresses the root of the problem. It's not fun, it's ugly. It's often avoided because it can be so uncomfortable. You don't have to go there alone, I will go there with you. Let's unpack with the understanding that sometimes it will get worse before it gets better, but it can and will get better! No more running. No more hiding. It will be a safe experience. This is the right time to make things right with you!

You can master out-of-control feelings and transcend ingrained ways of being. I specialize in treating individuals with intense emotions, spiraling thoughts, feelings of emptiness, a fear of abandonment, identity conflicts, a history of unstable relationships, and self-defeating tendencies i.e. disordered eating, compulsive sex, substance abuse, maladaptive perfectionism. I help clients understand how they have been affected by experiences such as childhood neglect and abuse, emotional invalidation and manipulation, harshly critical or demanding parents, parental addiction, and family boundary violations.

Sometimes, it can seem like there is a feeling or "voice" inside us throwing us off, pulling us in different directions. I am here to help you understand more about that emotional voice: where it comes from, why it’s there, and what it means. We will give you the best chance to succeed by focusing on the best of you and what works for you. We will gradually confront what challenges you, and do so together. If you are off balance in what feels like a hopeless or permanent way, just know you are not alone. I can help. You matter to me, and you deserve to be heard and seen. Let's start that journey together!

Everyone wishes to be happy. However, personal struggles frequently interfere with the quality of life we crave. Those barriers frequently are characterized by poor social skills, emotional disorders, inability to cope with adversity and frustration, inadequate life planning, self-destructive behaviors and poor judgment when making decisions. However, the worst form of thinking is when someone gives up and believes they can't change their life. But when people can combine their hopes and efforts through the guidance of an experienced therapist, they begin writing their own success story by which they acquire that quality of life that is so precious, meaningful and satisfying.

I believe that as we grow, we face many challenges, and how we face those challenges often has to do with how we perceive ourselves. From a young age, we receive messages that tell us who we are and how much we matter and sometimes these messages are inaccurate and often harmful. I work with people to achieve a more accurate, positive, and healthy self-image. People we meet in life may intentionally or unintentionally deny our strengths or challenge our ability to thrive. In therapy, you will learn to address areas where you can become stronger and use your voice in a more powerful way.
