You might be able to describe your problems as… → BURNT OUT from living life on survival mode. → IMPOSSIBLE to enjoy the present because of the the guilt of the past, and worry of the future. → DISCONNECTED from yourself, as if you are a passive bystander watching the problems in your life create chaos and havoc. → WITNESSING yourself saying and doing things that are hurting the people you care about. → RESIGNED to where the problems will take your life You might be feeling hopeless and resigned with the problems in your life, and yet YOU are HERE. And that makes all the difference! Because I truly, genuinely believe that in our work together, we will find many more ways in which you have asserted or acted in a way that shows you are not ok with the way things currently are. You are not ok with what has happened to you growing up. You deserve to reclaim your life from these problems and reconnect with yourself in more meaningful way.

To people looking in from the outside, your life looks pretty great. On the inside, though? You’re replaying a conversation from last week on repeat, wondering what they thought of you and whether you should or shouldn’t have said this or that. You often overthink or overanalyze decisions to the point where you feel paralyzed in making a choice at all. Imagine a life where you… - No longer feel controlled by your thoughts - Can celebrate your imperfections - Feel confident making decisions & expressing your point of view - Are driven by your true passions & values I specialize in working with clients who are craving a sense of freedom in their lives. They’re tired of feeling defined by their anxiety or like no one in their life can really understand what they’re going through.

My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate methodologies and techniques of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapies to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding I work to create a safe and trusting environment for individuals to share their inner most thoughts and feelings. I will also meet each individual where they are in life and to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. Through psychotherapy you will be able to create a balance in your life on a mental, emotional, physical and interpersonal level. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its hallmarks are self-reflection and self-examination, and the use of the relationship between therapist and patient as a window into problematic relationship patterns in the patient’s life. Its goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptoms but to help people lead healthier lives. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from depression, anxiety and grief counseling to academic issues to family dynamics and beyond. An area of focus I have is working with women who have had unsuccessful/unhealthy or codependent relationships with men. I have assisted women in developing a healthier sense of themselves by developing a greater sense of their own identity and less of an identity defined by their relationships. Along with areas of healthy boundary setting, focusing on developing personal goals and positive cognitions regarding themselves, they have developed healthier and more fulfilling relationships with men and a more positive sense of themselves. I also work with individuals dealing with compulsive behavior of sex and/or pornography use. Together we work to find the underlying root causes of the behaviors and then to find healthier ways to cope and deal with those urges/desires in the present. The individual will also focus on developing a healthier sense of self along with healthier boundaries, emotional awareness of needs and a more appropriate style communicating needs and wants to others.

I am so happy you are here! I am dually licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC) and have been practicing as a therapist since 2021. Clients often come to me when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they want to change but haven’t been able to shift on their own. My role is to help you develop a deeper understanding of your inner self so you can better recognize patterns, emotions, and needs that may be driving your thoughts and behaviors. From that place of awareness, we focus on self-growth and healing by building insight, emotional regulation skills, and healthier ways of coping.
