On the road of life, there are times we're confronted by an issue, a pothole, that can divert us in a direction that becomes problematic.

I believe that I can be that person for you. For me, to travel that road with a person is a privilege and it is accomplished by providing a safe and secure environment wherein the issues can be addressed.

I primarily support adolescents and adults who present with a variety of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma and those who struggle with emotion regulation and tolerating discomfort. Typically, my clients have a history of unsuccessful treatments and often present with a history of prior hospitalizations. Many of my clients struggle with self-harming behaviors, substance use and/or suicidal ideation. I also support couples and families seeking a more balanced family dynamic.

As a licensed therapist, my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space that is conducive for self-reflection and insight. I provide therapy from a client-centered and strengths-based approach with a focus on trauma-informed services. I view the therapeutic process as a collaboration where clients and I create specific goals unique to each individual's needs. These needs could include coping skills for managing anxiety and depression, self-understanding to create change, interpersonal resolutions, identifying maladaptive behaviors/thought patterns, and building a positive self-image.

In my therapeutic approach, we will explore your experience of mind-body (psychosomatic) dysregulation that caused the physical symptoms such as gastrointestinal problems (e.g., Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional nausea, functional abdominal pain, chronic pain, trauma-related weight gain, sleep-wake cycle dysregulation, etc. Metaphorically speaking, our therapeutic relationship will function as a container that holds complex emotions so we can explore, tolerate, and process them without judgment. As a result, your body will be relieved from its containing function, and the physical symptoms will diminish.

We all have many differences, yet we want the same things. Love, importance, duty and a sense of belonging. The path we choose will either lead us closer towards or further away from our desired goals. It scares us when we are uncertain or unwilling to accept the route we have selected. As we continue to journey through life, we wish that our emotions & thoughts behave in predictable or comprehensive ways. Our goals is to always know or have the answer to the next problem that we will face.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I specialize in psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families. People often come to me because, despite their efforts to change, they end up in the same cycles...cycles of anxiety, depression, disordered eating, relationship struggles, isolation, procrastination, workaholism...the list goes on and on. People often wonder "why can't I just change?" These cycles of behavior are driven by our life experiences and sense of ourself and others. Together, we will explore these ideas so that you can begin to create newer positive cycles of peace, calm, joy, contentment, intimacy, health, and fulfillment.
