Together, we will co-create a collaborative and warm space where we can explore issues and stressors related to relationships, work, identity, trauma, and oppression. Committing to your mental health can feel overwhelming, however therapy can help you discover your core values and how they relate to your personal history. I am committed to supporting my clients through overwhelming emotions, difficult past experiences, and inconsistent perceptions of one’s own identity.

My work is focused on promoting the mental health and well-being of adults and couples. My primary clinical focus involves working with clients who have experienced complex trauma and meet criteria for a personality disorder. However, my clinical aptitude and practice has afforded me with the capacity to work with a wide range of clients.

My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy and compassion-focused therapy, which helps my clients connect the present to the past to gain a newfound sense of awareness and wholeness. While I work to help clients build insight, I also blend strategies and skills that are designed case by case to give my client’s immediate relief.

If you get the sense that you aren’t sure what the problem is, but that there must be more to life, therapy can help you uncover and resolve what is happening. It takes a lot of courage to prioritize yourself and commit to change. Together we can care for the parts of you that are struggling, while emphasizing what helps you feel stronger and more whole.
