I’m not a passive therapist—I’m a guide, a witness, and a fierce believer in your healing. With nearly three decades of clinical experience, I help individuals and couples move out of survival mode and into real, lasting transformation. My work is direct, trauma‑informed, and deeply present. If you’re ready for honest, grounded therapy that actually changes your life, I’m here I draw from CBT, DBT, somatic therapy, attachment-focused work, EMDR principles, and the Gottman Method. I integrate evidence‑based tools with intuition, nervous system awareness, and relational depth. Healing isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about remembering what has always been strong, sacred, and whole. What It’s Like to Work With Me I’m warm, grounded, and radically present. I don’t sit back and nod; I’m engaged. I help you understand your patterns quickly, regulate your nervous system, and build emotional safety within yourself and your relationships. You don’t have to carry your pain alone. I’m here to walk with you through the hard parts and help you build a life that feels steady, honest, and aligned. Who I Work Best With My clients are cycle‑breakers—smart, self‑aware people who are exhausted from repeating emotional patterns that no longer fit who they’re becoming. They want more clarity, more connection, more self‑respect, and more peace. They’re ready to stop abandoning themselves, stop settling for draining relationships, and start communicating with honesty instead of reactivity. Treatment Goals Clients learn to regulate their nervous system, heal attachment wounds, rebuild trust in themselves, and create relationships that feel reciprocal and safe. Couples repair connection, reduce conflict, and rebuild emotional intimacy. Individuals become grounded, confident, and capable of choosing relationships and environments that honor their worth. If you’re ready to begin, I’m here.
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed. I draw from evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, somatic therapy, attachment-focused work, and EMDR—but I also bring intuition, creativity, and deep presence. I believe healing isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you—it’s about remembering what’s always been strong, sacred, and whole.
My approach is straightforward, compassionate, and rooted in emotional honesty. I don’t sugarcoat, and I don’t pathologize normal human struggle. I help people understand themselves, name what they feel, and create relationships that actually work. Whether I’m supporting individuals, couples, or families, my goal is the same: to help people feel seen, understood, and empowered to change their lives. I do this work because I believe in people—deeply—and because I know that one safe relationship can reroute an entire future.
I work with individuals and couples who are done living on autopilot. They’re smart, self‑aware, and exhausted from carrying emotional patterns that no longer fit who they’re becoming. They come to therapy because something in them knows they’re meant for more — more clarity, more connection, more self‑respect, more peace. My clients are cycle‑breakers. They’re people who want to understand their triggers instead of being ruled by them. They’re ready to stop repeating old attachment patterns, stop settling for relationships that drain them, and stop abandoning themselves to keep the peace. They want to communicate with honesty instead of reactivity, to love without losing themselves, and to build relationships that feel safe, steady, and reciprocal. Their treatment goals are rooted in growth: They learn to regulate their nervous system, to heal the wounds that keep showing up in their relationships, to rebuild trust in themselves, and to create lives that feel aligned instead of chaotic. Couples want to repair connection, communicate like adults, and rebuild emotional safety. Individuals want to feel grounded, confident, and capable of choosing relationships and environments that honor their worth. They’re not looking for surface‑level change. They’re looking for transformation.

With almost three decades of clinical experience, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve seen how powerful CBT can be for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and relationship stress. My approach is direct, practical, and focused on helping clients build insight while developing tools they can use immediately in their daily lives. CBT allows us to identify the patterns that keep people stuck — self‑criticism, fear-based thinking, avoidance, or reactive behaviors — and replace them with healthier, more grounded ways of responding. I help clients challenge unhelpful beliefs, interrupt automatic negative thoughts, and develop new cognitive and behavioral strategies that support emotional stability and healthier relationships.
With almost three decades of clinical experience, I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients strengthen emotional regulation, reduce reactivity, and build healthier patterns in their relationships. DBT is especially effective for individuals who feel overwhelmed by their emotions, struggle with anxiety or depression, or find themselves repeating cycles of conflict, shutdown, or avoidance. My DBT approach focuses on four core skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills give clients practical tools to navigate intense emotions, communicate more clearly, and respond rather than react. Over the years, I’ve seen how DBT helps clients create stability, reduce impulsive or defensive behaviors, and develop a more grounded sense of self. Because I work from a trauma‑informed lens, DBT is never delivered in a rigid or formulaic way. I integrate nervous system awareness, somatic grounding, and attachment understanding so clients can apply DBT skills in a way that feels safe, accessible, and relevant to their lived experience. This approach is particularly effective for clients dealing with trauma, PTSD, high-conflict relationships, and chronic stress. I’ve used DBT to help clients build emotional resilience, improve communication, and create meaningful, lasting change in how they show up in their lives and relationships.
With almost three decades of clinical experience, I integrate Somatic Therapy into all of my work because the body carries the emotional history that talk therapy alone cannot reach. Somatic approaches help clients understand how their nervous system responds to stress, trauma, conflict, and emotional overwhelm — and how those physiological patterns shape thoughts, behaviors, and relationship dynamics. In my practice, somatic work is woven directly into CBT and DBT. When clients identify unhelpful thoughts or emotional triggers, we also track what happens in the body: tightness, bracing, numbness, heat, collapse, or activation. This allows clients to interrupt old patterns not just cognitively, but physiologically. Somatic grounding, breath pacing, orienting, and interoceptive awareness help stabilize the nervous system so CBT and DBT skills can actually take root. Somatic Therapy is especially effective for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, shutdown/freeze responses, and high‑conflict relational patterns. Clients learn to recognize early cues of activation, understand their stress responses, and develop body‑based strategies to return to safety and presence. This work supports emotional regulation, reduces defensiveness, and helps clients stay connected during difficult conversations — whether individually or in couples work.
With almost three decades of clinical experience, I use the Gottman Method to help couples strengthen emotional intimacy, reduce conflict, and rebuild trust. The Gottman framework provides clear, research‑based tools that help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a relationship that feels safe, connected, and resilient. My approach focuses on the core Gottman principles: improving friendship and emotional attunement, reducing the “Four Horsemen” (criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling), increasing repair attempts, and building shared meaning. Couples learn how to slow down reactive cycles, listen with curiosity rather than fear, and respond in ways that support connection instead of escalation.
With almost three decades of clinical experience, my work is rooted in a trauma‑informed approach that recognizes how past experiences, nervous system patterns, and attachment wounds shape current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Trauma‑informed care means creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered — never judged, rushed, or pathologized for their coping strategies. I help clients understand how trauma shows up in the present: through anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, defensiveness, shutdown, people‑pleasing, or difficulty trusting others. We explore these patterns with compassion and curiosity, not shame. My approach integrates cognitive, emotional, and somatic awareness so clients can heal both the psychological and physiological impact of trauma. Trauma‑informed work is woven into all of my modalities. In CBT, we examine how trauma‑shaped beliefs influence current thinking. In DBT, we build emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills that support stability and resilience. Through somatic therapy, clients learn to recognize activation in the body, understand their stress responses, and use grounding techniques to return to safety. In couples work, I help partners understand how trauma influences communication, conflict, and attachment needs.
