I’ve always believed that therapy shouldn’t feel cold or clinical. I didn't just learn about anxiety and depression from textbooks—I know them from the inside out. Having walked through those challenges and found my way to the other side, I have a deep respect for human resilience and the hard work of healing. In our sessions, you can expect a real person who understands the weight of what you are carrying, dedicated to helping you rediscover your strength. I believe clients are the true experts of their own lives. I provide a warm, person-centered environment where you can feel safe, heard, and truly seen. I support all cultures, ethnic backgrounds, and members of the LGBTQI+ community. My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed approach, ensuring our work always moves at your pace. I specialize in helping clients navigate: Anxiety, depression, trauma processing, sleep issues, perfectionism, self-criticism, dissociation, life transitions and relationship issues. I also provide somatic work: bridging the connection between mind and body to release stored tension and process emotions as they show up in the body. I use a mix of therapeutic modalities, depending on what you need as an individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Humanistic Therapy and several others.

You know how when things are moving too fast and you reach for the "chill" button and it's nowhere in sight? Or, perhaps you're feeling so shut down that you can't find some "giddy up and go" if your life depended on it? Don't give up! I'm here to help. Here's a curious thing...ever notice how body stuff is so front-and-central in twigging to signs of stress? And, how often we shove these signals away as annoyances and "park them at the curb". For the most part, we typically run away from seemingly negative physical symptoms, deferring to the "whys" or thoughts about what's happening. The good news is that when you discover the "wisdom" of nagging body sensations, ease out of stuck emotional states, and shift away from relentless negative self-talk, you've turned a major corner into feeling better on so many levels. I welcome the opportunity to help you learn how to go deeper within yourself and experience mind-body-spirit healing. Give me a call today!

To make the unconscious conscious! The Dynamics of Intimacy and Relational Distress Difficulties within marital relationships and sexual health often stem from deeply ingrained psychological patterns that operate outside of immediate awareness. When couples encounter persistent conflict, loss of intimacy, or sexual dysfunction, these challenges are rarely just surface-level issues; they are often manifestations of unresolved underlying conflict. Therapy in this practice is designed to address the root causes of these struggles rather than simply managing immediate symptoms. By examining the deeper psychological forces that shape human behavior and attachment, individuals and couples can uncover the core reasons behind their relational and sexual barriers. Core Areas of Focus: Sex therapy: Comprehensive clinical intervention that addresses the psychological, emotional, and systemic factors that disrupt sexual functioning, desire, and physical intimacy. Marital and relational conflict: Analysis of repetitive, destructive behavioral cycles within relationships to foster deeper emotional connection and structural stability. Depth psychotherapy: Specialized individual treatment aimed at resolving internal conflict, intimacy anxieties, and personal barriers to well-being. The Therapeutic Framework This practice offers a highly structured, confidential, and clinical environment for those seeking profound and enduring change. The therapeutic process is tailored for individuals and couples who want a rigorous, analytical approach to complex relational dynamics and sexual health, with a clear pathway toward authentic resolution and relational growth.
