Life is hard, but it doesn't have to be burdensome. Together, we can work through what is holding you back and help you begin to experience the life you deserve and have envisioned for yourself. As a counselor, I have learned that the counseling process is one that should be tailored to each individual's needs, not "one size fits all". I enjoy working with a variety of clients from ages 16 and up and from all different walks of life.

My therapeutic philosophy is that it's not what is wrong with you but what happened to you. I believe that symptoms like anxiety and depression are not signs of weakness but messages to our mind and body telling us that something is not right and needs to be addressed. Maladaptive ways of coping may have once served us by dulling stress or pain but are not working any more, and so we have to learn new, healthier, more adaptive coping skills. I believe both the body and mind work together and are ultimately designed to survive, heal and thrive. Sometimes we just need understanding, validation and support to navigate the process.

I specialize in helping clients heal from trauma and dissociative conditions. I often see clients who have found that prior therapy did not go deep enough or that they can talk about their issues but remain stuck in the same unhealthy patterns. I help clients get beneath words and to transform the deeper feelings and emotions that are driving such patterns. I also have considerable experience working with loss, chronic illness, depression and anxiety, career and relationship transitions, questions of identity/purpose, relationship conflict, and navigating academic and creative work.

As a therapist in training, I am deeply passionate about using my own lived experiences to empower others. I firmly believe that everyone possesses the inner strength to achieve their full potential, even when they may doubt themselves.
