If you’ve landed here, you’re likely feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or just ready for something to shift, even if you can’t name exactly what yet. Maybe you’ve been carrying things silently for a long time, holding space for others but rarely for yourself. Maybe you’re navigating grief, trauma, or a deep sense of disconnection from your roots or identity. I want you to know you don’t have to go through it alone. As your therapist, I show up with presence, compassion, and curiosity. My approach is relational and collaborative; we move at your pace. I draw from trauma-informed, somatic, and culturally rooted practices that honor both your personal and generational story. I work with folks who are navigating life transitions, loss, identity, burnout, and the impact of trauma on mind, body, and spirit. Together, we’ll build a space where your pain can be held gently, your voice can grow stronger, and your healing can take root. I believe in the power of storytelling, ancestral wisdom, and inner resilience, and I’m here to walk alongside you on this journey.

Life is inherently challenging, and resisting that reality can deepen suffering. You may have long imagined becoming a parent, only to find yourself grappling with unexpected and complicated feelings towards yourself or your child. Or perhaps in an effort to avoid the pain of your past, you may have turned to food or alcohol or relied on patterns like people-pleasing or conflict avoidance—only to realize that, strategies that once helped you cope are now causing your harm. Whatever brings you here, I applaud your willingness to confront your relationship to trauma, depression, and anxiety and to initiating a first step. With 18 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through these challenges, among others, I would be privileged to walk alongside you in this work. Therapy with me is relational, collaborative, active, empathic, and experiential—at times direct and gently challenging. I tailor approaches to meet the individual needs of my clients and draw from depth-oriented and somatic approaches, including intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP), psychodynamic therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, internal family systems (IFS), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and Relational Life Therapy (RLF). I am trauma-informed and LGBTQ affirmative, and deeply value working with BIPOC and SWANA clients and couples navigating identity and cultural dynamics in a patriarchical and colonial culture. I am deeply enjoy working with parents and couples navigating ADHD in their dynamic.

It is not the easiest thing to ask for help and start therapy. I understand the challenges, hopes, and fears clients face in the process of seeking therapy. My goal is to create a safe atmosphere and trust that will allow my clients to look at underlying issues. I am empathic and use direct feedback. I use interpersonal, psychodynamic, cognitive and strength base therapy. I do believe that the relationship tends to be more important than "technique" and focus on where the client is and what his or her particular needs and goals are. While I work with both women and men from many walks of life, my specialties include men's issues, fatherhood, sports psychology, working with executives, and diversity training. I also co-lead an amazing men's group. A must for all men. I like to do many things that enhance my therapy skills including, writing, and present locally and nationally. I co-edited a book titled, Counseling Fathers, and write and speak in many venues, locally and nationally.

I use a relational and eclectic approach to therapy. My style is engaging and collaborative so that you feel fully supported in your process. I will provide insights and interpretations to best assist you in growing and moving forward. I want all may clients to feel that they have real takeaways from our sessions. I work with clients trying to better understand themselves, patterns, and relationships. I specialize in supporting those struggling with: anxiety, depression, substance use and drinking, family, trauma, relational challenges, relationship issues, stages of life and uncertainty with the future, while giving direct feedback and encouragement. Relationally, I help individuals and couples build emotional resiliency and better awareness into their thoughts and feelings. I also help clients set healthy boundaries, advocate for their own needs, and learn effective communication skills. Common themes I see in my client work is a struggle with self-judgment, self-criticism, self-worth, self-compassion, fear and shame. I work with clients to create more awareness around their internal processes and shift perspective & their narrative so they begin to see themselves, others, and the world differently. This process lends to growth, healing and change.

If you’re finding yourself in frequent conflict with your partner or other important people in your life, it’s common to conclude that your partnership isn’t meant to be, that your conflict is due to a mismatch. However, conflict is an opportunity to grow into a deeper, more meaningful relationship. I partner with couples in ways to have difficult conversations in a nonreactive way, which helps you work toward solutions rather than enhancing the problem. My practice is designed to collaboratively deconstruct the culture and history that define you, to break down the origins of the values and beliefs that influence you as an adult. Together, we’ll examine the contents of your life, sift through the problems, and determine which values, beliefs, and meanings will be useful on your journey, and which should be discarded. Our sessions are structured to use intentional dialogue in order to provide a non-judgmental, positive, and collaborative understanding of what is important for the relationship and your healing and growth as a couple.

Depression. Anxiety. Relationship and career problems. These very real difficulties of living represent potent opportunities for growth and transformation. This is not always easy to see, however. A key step is developing insight, combined with a willingness to accept increasing levels of personal responsibility. As a therapist and coach, my orientation is holistic. I incorporate a whole-person approach that emphasizes physical, mental, emotional, and interpersonal factors. I view human experience as an inherently creative process, and work to empower clients to harness their innate potential to create meaningful and fulfilling lives through committed action based on personal values. I offer a diverse background in therapy, assessment, and coaching. I am most experienced in addressing clinical issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and parenting, as well as broader concerns of meaning, growth, and personal potential. I work with children, adults, and couples from a variety of backgrounds. I have practiced since 2004, and recently extended my expertise by completing a PhD in clinical psychology. I have a background in psychological research, and my work has been published in peer-reviewed scientifc journals. Clinically, I have been affiliated with the Rehabilitation Institute of Southern California, Straight Talk Inc., Summa Health System, and, most recently, the Cleveland VA Medical Center.
