I work with clients to help identify, process and heal relational issues whether it be familial, romantic, professional, or platonic. I also work with clients suffering from and feeling held back by the scars of trauma, emotional wounds, and maladaptive behavior patterns. I help clients to acknowledge their pain and/or the role they play in their dissatisfaction, slowly process it, accept it, and implement new paths forward so they can take back control of their lives and enjoy closer relationships.

Children and teens today are suffering with overwhelming stress and anxiety. I help children, teens, and families cope with stress, anxiety, and mood disorders in a safe and confidential environment. Chronic stress or untreated anxiety can lead to more serious conditions with a lifelong impact. Therapy is designed to provide space and time to examine thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together we would work toward regulating emotions and developing coping strategies that foster mental wellness.

Having a special interest in eating disorder treatment and related conditions my clients often have difficulty with issues of mood (especially anxiety and depression), lack of self-identity, fears of judgement and being alone, a craving for connection, a sense of not being understood, concerns about the future, and at times even self-hatred. The mental state of these types of conditions lead to an overwhelming, all-consuming thought process that is usually obsessional and demeaning. The goal of any patient is to learn how to rid fears, quiet intrusive thoughts and find a way to a more fulfilling life with some sense of inner peace.
