I am passionate about helping clients who experience depression, anxiety and trauma. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, loneliness, disconnection from loved ones, frustration, or a lack of motivation. I help these clients by providing them with a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk about their feelings. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic, meaning that I help clients make connections between what happens in their lives and their innermost beliefs, desires, and wants. I place strong emphasis on having a quality therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual regard.

I understand that embarking on a journey of healing can be difficult, but it is also a courageous endeavor. You deserve to take that vital step towards your healing process, and I am here to support you.

It isn't uncommon to find ourselves overwhelmed by the stresses of daily life. Work, relationships and loss can leave us feeling stuck. Thoughts about the past and worry about the future can start to feel all consuming and emotions like anxiety, shame, anger, and guilt can take hold and pervade our life. We are uncertain how to move forward, but we know we need to make a change. It takes courage to begin a process of individual growth and I honor that by providing a space that is compassionate, honest and non-judgmental.

From the outside does it seem like you have everything together yet internally, you are overwhelmed and struggling to keep your head above water. Do you often find yourself feeling disconnected from friends, family, or your partner, without understanding why. You feel as if you are going through the motions of life, but not truly experiencing joy or satisfaction. Your emotions feel out of control, dictating your actions and thoughts. You find yourself constantly worrying and unable to escape the spiral of overthinking. You often think you "should" be further along in life and are not living up to your full potential.

Trauma affects many, if not all of us, and recovery from the impact of these experiences is a journey. In therapy, my focus is to establish a strong therapeutic relationship where healing can take place. Once trust is developed, the goal is to empower individuals to increase their sense of safety and control, and to cope with traumatic experiences. My wish is for individuals to be able to reengage in their lives and pursue their greatest hopes for themselves, without the traumatic experiences hindering their ability to do so.

Feeling anxious all the time is such a crippling feeling and can feel like there is no escaping it. Just when one anxious thought starts to go away, another one shows up and takes its place. It can feel like an endless cycle of racing thoughts, worry, and fear about anything and everything. It’s hard to know when the anxiety will be over especially living in an anxiety-inducing world that is constantly changing which in turn leads to more anxiety. If this sounds like you, you're not alone!

I admire you for your courage and vulnerability in seeking counseling services. Your pain matters, you deserve to be heard, and you are worthy of the help you receive. You are more than the worst thing that has ever happened to you. Trying to heal from your worst experiences in life may leave you questioning yourself, your reality, and your feelings. Trauma can leave us with outdated beliefs about ourselves and the world around us.

I am a therapist who focuses on understanding. Each person that I work with is a story. Being able to understand the person through their eyes is the guide that moves us towards why they need help and how I can help them. My therapeutic style is to find ways to get to know who I am speaking to and who they want to become with my support. The years that I have spent working with various people in various locations makes me feel comfortable in saying that I am able to know who my client is and am able to prove to them that I do and want to understand.
