With over 12 years of providing quality professional mental health services to children, teenagers, adults, and families, I look forward to helping my clients thrive in the midst of incredibly challenging situations. It has been said that life is a beautiful struggle. Often, the struggle - whether it arises from life transitions, loss, trauma, or everyday stressors - overshadows the beauty of life. It is in these times I seek to walk alongside my clients and provide the space and time for them to develop insight and skills, grieve losses, process traumas, and rediscover joy and hope.

Picking fights with loved ones. Worrying about how we're perceived. Reacting defensively to criticism. Ruminating over social interactions. Avoiding difficult conversations. Punishing others when we’re hurt. We do all these things for reasons, but often our reasons are emotional wounds too vulnerable to acknowledge. Many of our behaviors are motivated by deeply held beliefs about ourselves and what we can expect from others. Often, our behaviors are strategic habits we learned in formative relationships that had unhealthy dynamics and imbalances of power.

Often in an attempt to finish "unfinished" business, we reenact unresolved issues in hopes of a better outcome finding ourselves face to face with the mountain of pain looming large in our past. I specialize in treating individuals, couples, and groups struggling with addiction, compulsive behaviors, depression, trauma, and related issues. If you struggle with addiction, I use emotionally connective and psychodynamic therapy to help you reach abstinence and then recovery, pre or post rehab. If you are struggling with the out-of-control substance abuse merry-go-round, we can work together to improve your life.

I am a seasoned psychologist who understands and can help with the difficulties such as mood and anxiety struggles, sense of self or self-esteem issues, relationship concerns, school, job, and career challenges, trauma and grief issues, and/or the existential challenges humans may face such as life purpose, deep loneliness, etc. I am dedicated to work compassionately and effectively with adults of all ages, be it via individual therapy or group therapy.

The mind is the most powerful resource of the body. It is also, unfortunately, the least managed. It keeps a record of experiences and dictates emotions to us based on those experiences. What we think, feel, and believe impacts how we interact and perform. Often, more than we know. What I do is help facilitate mind and body realignment for the achievement of optimal performance in school, at work, and in personal lives. With an eclectic and flexible approach, I integrate mindfulness, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and different holistic approaches to address your overall well-being.

Are you bright, gifted, or intellectually curious? Or, do others consider you so, even if you don't? Do you resonate with the concept of the highly sensitive person (HSP) and feel things deeply? Have you gotten feedback that you are "too" intense, sensitive, emotional from others in your life? Do you feel like others cannot see you? If these questions resonate with you, I can help, whether your goals are exploring your gifts and finding ways to realize them in this world, coping with keenly felt sense of injustice, learning how to navigate in a world built for "normal," or finding ways to manage multiple tasks with ADHD.

I realize that sharing the most intimate details of your life with a stranger can feel really vulnerable. I work to create a space in which you feel safe, accepted, connected, and supported in sharing your struggles. Having such an environment can help you gain insight about yourself, patterns of interacting with others, and how to bring about change. I am approved to practice virtually, throughout most of the US. This option makes it easy for you to get help almost anywhere and allows for continuity in your care if you move, travel for work, or are on an extended trip.
