Do you feel stuck and helpless, like you're never going to be able to move on from your trauma? Have you felt afraid of the future or felt something terrible would happen? Do you have nightmares or intrusive thoughts about your past trauma? Do you feel disconnected from your body or numbed out from your emotions? You’ve been trying traditional ways to heal but regular talk therapy and/or doing it on your own (DIY) can make you feel more hopeless, helpless, stuck, lonely, angry, and resentful. It’s not your fault. The traditional methods are not designed to help you fully heal.

Searching for a new therapist can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re exploring therapy for the first time or have tried it in the past, beginning this journey with someone new can be intimidating. My goal is to make this transition as smooth and comfortable as possible, and yes, even enjoyable. While therapy can be challenging, it also offers moments of profound growth and self-discovery, and that can be really exciting. Since 2007, I have been dedicated to the mental health field, working extensively in Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient programs before moving into a high school-based setting.

I work with people who deserve celebration! When you need a therapist, you want one who won't need to be educated on LGBTQ+, ethical non monogamy, or kink issues. I see individuals, couples, and polycules who want to be happier, have better communication, and overcome painful experiences.

When we want it to be sunny, it begins to rain. This is life - a full spectrum of events. All these events shaped us somehow and trigger various emotions - excitement and nervousness, happiness and sadness, or even anxiety, depression, desperation, etc. No matter what it is, I truly believe that everyone has the potential to turn them into what flourishes in life.

People seek my help because of a troubled relationship or feelings of anxiety or depression caused by some important life disappointment. They are often internally conflicted about how to deal with their distress and seek understanding and guidance from a supportive professional. For men the focus is often on helping them become more emotionally self-aware and attentive to their partners; for women it often means helping them find ways to be more assertive and clear about their needs.

If painful experiences were met with confusing or anxious responses from others or described in manners that did not respond to emotional needs, then a child or individual would likely cope with difficulties by disconnecting from the threatening emotional meanings. We need another at times, or search for a healing process. If you have been struggling with strong feelings or a particular situation, it is time to get help. You can find the way through fears, loss or other struggles. I am here to support you through your struggles, through personal hardships, finding truths or make sense of confusion in your mind or life.

I am a trained and experienced therapist in relational psychoanalysis as well as traumatology. I was part of bringing these two together some decades ago. In addition I understand eating problems and body image distortion. My professional writing covers these areas. I work with hypnosis, guided visualization and the body, as well as sharing a deepening conversation about you. I want to meet you right there with curiosity, warmth, growing empathy and care. I am an open and informal person by nature yet, of course, I work within professional boundaries. It is about you. I look forward to meeting you.
