I bring a culturally responsive lens to my practice, recognizing the profound impact of personal identity and lived experiences. My work focuses on helping couples communicate, addictions, men's issues, helping you develop self-love, improve communication, overcome anxiety and depression, and healing from past wounds. My practice is grounded in challenging yet supportive psychodynamic and psychoanalytical work. I like to challenge my clients but also meet them where they are at.
During our first session I will be speaking more than usual. I will be asking why you are interested in therapy and if you know what outcomes you would like. I like brainstorming together to better understand your needs and wants.
I empathize with my clients, provide emotional support and I balance the sessions by using phrases that emphasize directness, transparency, and actionable feedback.
Do you feel "stuck" or "hopeless" in your relationship or recovery? I would like to share with you these are normal feelings and that there are ways to move forward from them. I have over seven years of experience specializing with couples, addictions, and men's mental health, with a specific focus on anger management and masculine identity. In addition, I have successfully worked with Clients struggling with anxiety, depression and children with selective mutism.

I use Psychodynamic therapy approaches to explore unconscious conflicts, early attachment patterns, and defense mechanisms to resolve deep-seated relationship issues.
I focus on using evidence-based addiction support. I focus on identifying negative patterns and building practical tools for long-term sobriety and relational stability.
I utilize a non-pathologizing approach that views behaviors as protective strategies rather than character flaws.
I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a specialized, evidence-based therapy designed to help your brain heal itself. Together, we will use EMDR to process the root traumas driving your anxieties, anger, and addictive behaviors. You don't have to just 'manage' your symptoms anymore—we can work to clear them at the source so you can finally feel in control of your life.

I really enjoyed my first session with her. She really listened to my concerns and made me feel like there are solutions to help me. I am looking forward to seeing her weekly.

Would not recommend her for 3 reasons: does not listen to clients concerns, fails to provide safety measures and focuses on being "ethically right" over providing therapeutic help.

I felt understood and she was really nice
