Great to meet you!

If you struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues or parenting challenges, I can help! I offer a warm and safe environment within which we can explore your concerns, rediscover forgotten parts of yourself, and move towards wholeness. Together we will find alternative perspectives and solutions to problems that have made you feel stuck.

My approach to therapy

My approach is holistic and integrative, emphasizing consideration for relational patterns informed by family and cultural experiences. I use trauma focused therapies including Internal Family System (IFS) to facilitate integration and healing from depression and chronic anxiety. I also utilize my own rich life experiences as a parent, an army veteran and an executive in business.

What you can expect from me

I specialize in healing and treating anxiety, social anxiety, depression and trauma. Our work can help you feel more connected to yourself and the world around you, so that you feel more balanced and alive, able to reclaim your full capacity for joy. I would be honored to be part of your journey.
