I work with successful and creative individuals, as well as those who have high-stress jobs. Although everything may seem fine on paper, it's often a different story on the inside.

Many people find themselves stuck in survival mode, caused by several factors such as unconscious unmet needs or stuck trauma patterns. The good news is there is a gentle and safe way through!

I specialize in men's issues, relationship struggles, anxiety, low self-worth, and help all my clients to prioritize their self-care as they navigate burnout and boundary setting.

While I work with a wide range of folks, I tend to be the person folks come to when other therapies haven't worked. Relational Somatic Psychotherapy is a deep and powerful therapeutic approach.

We combine neuro-biologically informed treatment with mindfulness, movement, traditional talk therapy, drama therapy and more, all in the container of our relationship.
I work to help families and couples feel closer and more connected and to overcome problems such as emotional distance, intimacy issues, and conflict. I enjoy working with members of the LGBTQ+ community and offer affirming and inclusive therapy for LGBTQ adults, couples and families.
Life feels chaotic. My mind races, to-do lists pile up unfinished, and I constantly worry. I start tasks with a burst of energy, only to get sidetracked and overwhelmed. Maybe it's ADHD, maybe it's anxiety, the flashbacks that come out of nowhere, or maybe something deeper. I'm tired of feeling overwhelmed and misunderstood. Especially as a woman, I often feel unseen. Deep down, I know I'm capable, but anxiety and intrusive thoughts often leave me feeling overwhelmed and stuck.

Whether it’s perfectionism, judgment, loneliness, self-improvement, health, fear, family issues… Together we will discover what invites these problems into your life, and begin to find what recovery means for you.

Being human is hard. When two different people, flaws and all, form a relationship, it’s harder. When those two decide that they want to swing with other couples, that can be even more complicated. Or perhaps they decide to open up their relationship on occasion. What are the boundaries? How about when those two humans become part of a triad, or quad? There might be some unique challenges with that choice as well. And jealousy! Navigating yours, and theirs, is not for the faint of heart.
Have you struggled with navigating multiple cultural expectations throughout your childhood and adulthood?

My clients express frustration with relationships and a need for guidance at a difficult time. We are- many of us- working to heal from family conflict and to recover from disordered eating, insufficient sleep, and an overabundance of substance usage in society. Living in an atmosphere of fear, blame, and comparison we seek to grow and thrive in our current world.
