Hi, I’m a licensed psychotherapist specializing in individual psychotherapy counseling and in marriage and family therapy, with experience supporting individuals, couples, and families since 2016. My journey began as a behavior technician, helping clients navigate emotional and behavioral challenges in community settings. After completing full licensure as a clinical psychotherapist, I now work with clients addressing issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, relational conflict, emotional dysregulation, and burnout.

My therapeutic approach blends psychodynamic therapy, psychoeducation, and body-mind (somatic) therapy, helping clients uncover emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, and heal the effects of stress and trauma held in the body. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of reactivity, or struggling to connect with yourself or others, I offer a collaborative, trauma-informed space for deep healing and growth.

I work with clients on a wide range of issues, including:

Emotional & Mental Health:

Grief and loss (including complicated grief)

Bipolar disorder, mood instability, and psychotic features

Depression, anxiety, low motivation, and emotional withdrawal

Behavioral addictions, compulsive behaviors, and self-worth issues

Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and psychotic spectrum disorders

Life Transitions & Identity Work:
Life transitions (career changes, divorce, relocation, new parenthood)

LGBTQ+ affirmative support, spiritual exploration, and existential concerns

Relational & Family Dynamics:

Co-parenting, communication, and boundary issues

Divorce recovery, attachment wounds, and relational distress

Somatic & Body-Oriented Work:

Chronic pain, body image concerns, and somatic trauma symptoms

Mindfulness-based stress reduction and emotional regulation

Professional Stress & Executive Function:

Workplace stress, burnout, perfectionism, and executive functioning challenges
