You're often fighting or feeling distant from your romantic partner. Small issues can become a big deal and conflict remains unrepaired. Perhaps you've tried many strategies to stop these difficult dynamics. You feel frustrated and need to find new ways to connect, resolve, and find each other again. Maybe you notice after fighting, that distance between you feels lonely and doubts about the relationship start to increase. It's like the fights get out of control and one or both of you say things you regret later. Deep down, you know what's been happening isn't healthy, and that you both need help and perspective. It might feel far away right now, but you know you need to try something radically different if you're going to change the relationship that means so much to you both. I can help you develop new tools so you can finally feel reconnected and nourished instead of depleted and disconnected. Whether you begin therapy individually or together, change is possible. As your guide, I commit to supporting you in healing the past and building a strong foundation to support the well-being and happy future you seek. My approach is supportive of developing a connection to your inner self so that you can communicate from your heart. Practicing an attitude of curiosity and acceptance, my goal is to build trust with you and to understand your unique experience. When working together, I aim to help you feel respected and understood. I truly believe in the healing powers of self-discovery, self-acceptance and offering these to others in close relationship. I strive to help you cultivate nourishing relationships with yourself, others and connect more to the world around you.

You: look great on paper, but inside it's a struggle and you're ashamed to admit it - especially when others have it worse. You're hardworking, passionate, strong, with a lot to give. But you're having trouble focusing and getting motivated. You're not connecting with your work the way you want toused to, and your co-working relationships are "fine," but not great. It feels like something's missing. You don't know what it is or where to find it. Under the surface, you feel scared, sad, lonely, insecure, anxious, depressed and may be losing hope. I help people build motivation & self-esteem, connect more deeply in relationships, and find satisfaction in work. I'm uniquely qualified to provide you with the support you need and deserve, while you pursue fulfillment and self-actualization. Bright as you are, I know how dark it can get. I know you show the world you're fine, even while hurting inside. I promise, you can heal and thrive. We'll start by building a foundation of trust, though you can expect to feel fairly comfortable with me right away. You'll get the sense you can say almost anything without me judging you - and you're right. We'll begin with the end in mind, and I'll probably ask, "How will we know when we're done?" Our work together will be collaborative, insightful and designed to suit your needs.

I am here to support your journey back to yourself. Life offers no shortage of stress & challenge. Discovering the ways to tap into your intrinsic healing capacity, reclaim forgotten parts of yourself, and step into an empowered, meaningful life is at the core of our work. Together we dive into the depths of self-awareness, acceptance, and aligned action. The process of unpacking oppressive ideologies adopted beliefs, and barriers to knowing your authentic self is strengthened by embodiment. Thus we'll work holistically to create an ecosystem of resources that transform wounds into wisdom and make space for your enlivened self. My therapeutic approach brings over a decade of work in somatics and integrative healing as a yoga and meditation facilitator and Ayurveda counselor. Beneath the mind and body, the invitation awaits to connect to the transpersonal. I believe for therapy to be effective, our work must be collaborative, integrated, and tailored to the individual. Ultimately, I am here to be your ally, your guide, and your support in the process of knowing and loving yourself. I believe our healing doesn't happen alone and when we have a safe container of compassion & reflection, we make space for all parts of ourselves to be heard, seen, and cared for.

I specialize in treating adolescents and young adults, and also work with many individual adults. Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, low self-esteem, life transitions, phase of life challenges, skill building (coping, social, stress-management), emotion-regulation, building self-awareness, and communication strategies (assertiveness trainingboundaries). Often, part of my treatment with adolescents includes working with parents to find an effective balance between setting and reinforcing limits and maintaining a positive relationship with their child(ren). While my therapeutic approach varies depending on the specific needs and goals of each client, I utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Rogerian Therapy. Most importantly, I believe that connection is a driving force for positive change. I value the unique "story" of each individual with whom I work and am passionate about empowering others to create quality, meaningful lives.

My clinical approach is multi-disciplinary and rooted in psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, and humanistic psychology. I also have a background and training in integrative health and wellness, which can contribute to a more in-depth perspective on treatment. My style is genuine, collaborative, interpersonal, direct, and non-judgemental, and I encourage clients to be true to themselves and transparent. Although treatment is based on an individual's needs and goals, primary objectives in treatment are to help clients (re)connect to their confidence and curiosity and to reinforce their capacity and resiliency. Couples therapy can be some of the hardest yet most profound work ones does. I understand and revere the gravity, complexity, and reward of the process. Often, the primary focus of couples therapy is on “fixing the problem,” and when the underlying causes are not addressed, couples can become entrenched in the same cycle, the same pattern indefinitely. The more one understands a partner’s triggers and the history behind them, the more opportunity there is for vulnerability and empathy, followed by deeper connection.

I utilize compassion and empathy as a central part of my work to help people feel safe and comfortable in exploring their feelings and initiating change. I collaborate with individuals to create goals and identify ways to make the changes in their life that they desire. Specifically, I work with adults who have relational issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, as well as adjustment issues. I am passionate about providing care to people from all backgrounds and situations and am very open and cooperative in my work with people.

I believe therapy is a space where I walk alongside you while you process your unique challenges, and explore and develop your unique strengths. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each person or couple I work with. I draw from psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential-humanistic, and solution-focused approaches, blending them to meet your unique needs. Whether we’re exploring past experiences that still shape your present, learning new ways to manage stress and negative thought patterns, or strengthening communication in your relationships, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered. I see therapy as an opportunity to create lasting change by deepening understanding, practicing new skills, and building a life and relationships that feel more fulfilling. As a certified anxiety specialist, I bring additional tools and expertise to support you in reducing worry, calming your nervous system, and creating lasting relief.

I use an eclectic strategy to help you learn how to cope with challenging and difficult circumstances and personal experiences. Depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationships are difficult to manage by yourself. I provide an empathetic, private, and objective point of view and will guide you in developing coping strategies and a better understanding of your experiences. We will collaborate together to help liberate you from feeling helpless and alone. I provide a safe space for all to engage and explore their genuine sense of self and identity, explore their sense of purpose and emotional self-awareness.

It may be hard to believe, but our most troubling habits and patterns began as strategies that once helped us deal with challenging or even dangerous circumstances. The difficulties that feel burdensome to you now—rumination, self-defeating behaviors, problematic relationship dynamics, stubborn emotional cycles—actually helped you survive in the past. And because they helped you survive, it takes more than just understanding and willpower to unravel them—it takes deeper work that engages the body as well as the mind. I work well with problem-solvers and high performers who are struggling with habits, patterns, or relationship issues that they can’t resolve on their own. I’m skilled at working with anxiety and traumaPTSDCPTSD, as well as life transitions, grief and loss, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I also have experience working with neurodivergent clients, like people with ADHD or who are HSPs, gifted, or autistic with low support needs. I’m an integrative therapist, so I weave together multiple modalities into an approach that can be tailored to your needs and goals. I take a holistic view, which means I attend to all aspects of your well-being, including mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness. I also look at your context, cultural background, and relationship with systemic power, all of which have tremendous bearing on your health. Your struggles may be distressing or exhausting, but they can make sense, and together we can find your way through them. I've been a trusted listener my entire life. Therapy can be a transformative experience, and helping folks make changes in their lives and tap into their healing potential is incredibly rewarding. My style is warm, conversational, and collaborative, and I’m here to support your growth and healing with active engagement, curiosity, and expertise. I bring a high level of integrity and conscientiousness to my work, as well as a bit of humor. I invite you to get in touch for a 20-minute free consultation to see if we might be a good fit!

I work with individuals across the life span using a relational, intersubjective and non-judgmental approach. Working collaboratively, I help clients to grow beyond dysfunctional relational patterns, to recognize behaviors that are no longer working and to explore new options for living. As relational trust deepens in a safe therapeutic environment, your own healing process will begin, and creative energy will be released. My approach, while informed by attachment and psychodynamic theories, is fundamentally client centered and respects your own innate growth process. I also utilize expressive arts and sand tray when appropriate to facilitate your process. My hope is to empower you to feel more in control of your own life and to make positive choices.
