My philosophy and vision in treatment involves facilitating a combination of talk therapy and mindful body practices, enabling each person to realize his or her unique self with compassion and awareness.

Resilience isn't just about enduring tough times; it's about thriving with the support of emotionally attuned relationships. Research shows that having at least one emotionally available caregiver is foundational for resilience, a truth that extends throughout our lives. The more supportive connections we have, the greater our capacity for personal growth and navigating life's challenges with clarity and connection. I bring this understanding into my work, combining dual training from the U.S. and U.K. to offer a rich perspective on trauma, addiction recovery, and family systems. My approach is integrative and relational, blending psychodynamic and Jungian theory with evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and sensorimotor techniques. This helps clients develop mind-body awareness and achieve lasting change. As both an educator and clinician, I am dedicated to helping you uncover the roots of emotional patterns, build self-awareness, and foster resilience through curiosity and compassion. My international experience allows me to tailor my approach to your unique cultural context, ensuring a personalized and inclusive therapy experience. Working with me is a journey of discovery—recognizing your true worth and unlocking your potential.

My objective as a psychotherapist is to provide safe, comfortable and judgment-free environment for clients to work through issues. In addition, I provide warmth and flexibility in working with my clients. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, living with chronic medical conditions, self- esteem issues, relationship and career issues, among others. I work with adolescents and adults of all ages. People come into therapy to make changes in their lives, to reduce emotional pain or to get past "stuck" points, and resolve conflicts. I am there to help with the process. I believe that it is important to have a good match between therapist and client in order to make the therapeutic process effective, and I am also of the belief that the therapeutic relationship can contribute to the healing process. I primarily work psychodynamically, but I find that at times it is useful to include cognitive-behavioral techniques into the therapy, depending on the client's needs. Unresolved issues from the past can get in the way of attaining personal and professional growth. Psychotherapy can enhance one's self-awareness and the ability to recognize in one's own self-defeating and self-sabotaging patterns, and to change these patterns. Overall, I see my role as a psychotherapist is to respect the goals that my clients come in with, and support the process of working toward these goals.

I use an insightful and personalized approach to help clients identify barriers to happiness and gain a better understanding of their emotions and experiences. Knowing yourself deeply is an essential ingredient in creating the life you want, and this type of emotional learning ideally occurs within the context of a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help clients explore behavioral patterns and achieve psychological well-being. My approach focuses on helping clients with a range of issues such as grief, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, and anger management. I provide clients with the emotional self-regulation tools, coping and communication skills, mindfulness techniques, and self-management strategies needed to cultivate change.

You may be feeling a great sense of disconnectedness, maybe from your partner, your body, or even yourself. You may have tried countless attempts to fix this sense of disconnection but find yourself caught in the same loop over and over again. Deeply, you know there needs to be change, but you may find yourself struggling with where to begin.  As your therapist, I will create a space that feels safe, welcoming, and authentic. My role is to help guide you through the processes of relational work. Whether that is your relationship to yourself or to your partner(s), my goal is to help establish authentic connections in all your relationships. Therapy is a place where you can show up fully as yourself, messy and imperfect, and know that that is enough. I employ a mixture of emotionally focused and narrative approaches, where we will focus on your story as well as the feelings behind it. I believe fully in the transformative power of pleasure and love. We deserve to be fully seen without judgment.  Together we can slow down the moments that feel like they may overtake you and make sense of the deeper meaning underneath. Moving you closer to the type of relationships that you deserve.

I have expertise in: relationship and marital issues; anxiety; depression; grief and loss; trauma and PTSD; pregnancy loss and infertility; sexual abuse and assault; and narcissistic abuse. I would be honored to travel on this journey towards healing and empowerment with you, as I have done with so many incredible people over the years. Due to being licensed in 3 states, I am telehealth only. Please call or email me. I know I can be of help.

My ideal client is a teenager or young adult who is struggling with self-identity, transitional life periods, or relationship challenges. They may feel lost or overwhelmed by the pressures of school or family expectations. They may feel the need to gain confidence, build emotional resilience, and learn healthy coping strategies. Their goal is to feel more secure in who they are, develop stronger communication skills, and create meaningful connections with others, all while managing stress and improving their overall mental well-being. With over 8 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults, I can help my clients navigate the different difficulties that come up in this phase of life. I help my clients by providing a non-judgmental and collaborative space to explore thoughts and emotions. I use evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care to foster self-awareness, promote personal growth, and build emotional regulation.

My place in this world is to be the foundation for people when they feel as if they have none. My duty is to provide my clients with the tools they need to continue the process of healing long after they cease receiving my services. I am the pillar of strength for my clients to lean on until, together, we find a way for them to stand tall on their own. This is the therapeutic relationship, the definition of healing that lovingly guides me in my practice.
