I'm a therapist who specializes in working with relationships and individuals with relationship-based challenges. I work to help relationships and individuals eliminate the barriers interfering with finding intimacy, connection, and validation within their relationships. My primary focus is to help clients identify their stuck points and to help them find opportunities to make changes in favor of meeting their goals. I find that success begins with creating a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can share their challenges and goals to identify where they are at and how I can best meet their specific needs.

A collaborative therapeutic relationship based on safety & trust is vital for success.
Traditional talk therapy is highly beneficial, but what happens when it’s just too painful or scary to talk about? Since trauma gets trapped in the mind AND body, it causes emotional and physical symptoms requiring approaches that go beyond talking. Thanks to advances in neuroscience, you CAN free yourself from the anxiety that has hijacked your nervous system, feel safer in your body & stop the fear cycle. We can unlearn our nervous system’s response to trauma & rewire our brains to live in the present, rather than reliving the past. Managing the effects of trauma can feel daunting and lonely, but healing need not be done alone.
