Our cultural emphasis on paid work identity has led to some of us getting stuck continually striving for “more” and feeling starved in other areas like meaning making, community, spirituality and connection. My life experience with trauma, addiction and LGBTQ+ concerns make this work personal for me. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex-positive, inclusive of all identities and enjoy working with clients in every life stage. My professional and personal experiences allow me to have deep empathy for those who are facing major life challenges such as trauma, substance misuse, divorce, career change, chronic health issues and loss.

Managing stress; issues around spirituality; and relationship loss stemming from break-up, divorce or bereavement are areas in which I specialize.
I believe that the wish to understand oneself takes a lot of courage. I feel honored to join patients as they embark on a journey of self-exploration. I have a range of interests in addressing "problems of living", such as: life transitions, work and career, formulating and prioritizing life goals, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, problems with intimacy, and loss of a loved one. Humor, curiosity, and back and forth dialogue are part of my therapeutic style. I partner as a co-pilot, to guide and support in the exploration of motivational and emotional patterns.

Background includes Master's degrees in psychology and social work, certification in Interpersonal Psychoanalysis, certification in Repatterning, as well as many years of spiritual practice and explorations in the areas of spirituality and holistic health.
My approach to psychotherapy synthesizes holistic, spiritual and psychodynamic modes of understanding and working. The therapeutic relationship is a safe context for emotional healing and developing greater self-awareness. I help my clients deal with current difficulties and feelings, release old pain to allow the natural growth process to proceed, change dysfunctional patterns which block fulfillment, and empower themselves through awareness and choice. Working with individuals and couples, I respond to each person's unique personality, history and needs in order to bring about the desired changes.

Who am I? What am I doing with my life? Why am I having such a hard time? Many of my clients are searching for their place in the world and struggling with big and small questions alike. They might be exploring themselves and their spirituality, or they might be having trouble coping with anxiety or handling relationship issues. My belief is that all questions- large and small- are worth exploring thoughtfully. My goal is to help clients gain a deeper sense of insight and purpose while doing so.

I have experience providing therapy on topics relating to relationships, family dynamics, and spirituality.
Life would be so much easier without uncomfortable feelings, painful experiences, and inner turmoil, but here we are. As humans, we are the universe getting to know itself, in all our joy and pain. In my practice, I aim to accompany you, using a trauma-informed lens and psychoanalytic approach to explore your unconscious, on your journey inward. I believe each of us has so much to learn and teach from our experiences and perspectives if we can give ourselves the space and self-compassion to process them.

I am a licensed psychotherapist studying psychology, psychotherapy, and its intersection with spirituality for almost a decade. We all experience anxiety and depression, and life loses meaning at different times, leaving us feeling stuck and without direction. All these symptoms are our soul's way of calling us back home to ourselves when we are astray too far and/or too long from our true selves. Psychotherapy is one of the first steps to finding our way back home. Only when we are at home within ourselves, we begin to feel at home in the world.
