I help those seeking a deeper, lasting approach to mental health—someone who may have tried medication or therapy before but hasn’t found the right fit. They struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, or mood instability and want a provider who sees them as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. They are looking for a balance of medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes to feel better, regain control, and build resilience. Their goal is to heal, grow, and feel empowered in their mental health journey, using both science and holistic strategies to create real, sustainable change. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and panic disorders, offering therapy, medication management, and lifestyle support. As a SAFE-EMDR therapist and integrative provider, I help clients heal from trauma, manage emotions, and build resilience. My goal is to create personalized, effective treatment plans for lasting well-being

I specialize in assisting clients with ADHD, Substance use disorders, transitional periods (career, divorce, etc.), trauma, anxiety, stress, and mood disorders. I am passionate towards the therapeutic process of facilitating self-empowerment to promote personal well-being and autonomy.

One of my core values is that you feel safe, seen, heard and accepted. Because I believe in the uniqueness of each individual, I carefully integrate different methods of treatment to achieve your treatment goals.

People seek psychotherapy for different reasons. Sometimes they want to solve a specific problem produced by difficult circumstances; sometimes they want relief from feelings of general unhappiness and anxiety; other times they want to make a change, to feel less stuck, less depressed and more hopeful. Asking for help is the first important step. It gives substance to our desire for change and makes concrete our wish to feel better. This very act of asking says that we feel entitled to support and serious consideration. I am a compassionate listener who identifies hidden barriers to effective communication, personal growth and genuine trust. I tailor this approach to the needs, interests and concerns of each patient. The techniques used in this process include psychoanalytic, psycho-dynamic and CBT approaches. I have extensive experience with couples therapy. I respect your autonomy and intelligence When you know your personal resources, you can make informed decisions about therapy If you decide to on a consultation, I much prefer a telephone call to an email. Voice communication signals a readiness to begin.
