The heart of my clinical focus is on meeting you where you are, creating ways to understand and communicate your human experience in ways that feel authentic to you. I have extensive experience in working with long standing emotional distress, this includes complex trauma and mood disorders as well as dissociative, personality and psychosis related disorders. I integrate my training in neuropsychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy and my training as a marriage and family therapist to provide evidence based care.

Treatment Approach
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Hypnotherapy Uses guided relaxation and focus to access the subconscious mind. It is often used for habits, anxiety, and pain management.
- Neuropsychology Examines how brain function affects thinking, memory, and behavior. It often involves assessment and rehabilitation strategies.
- Object Relations Therapy Focuses on how early caregiver relationships shape current relationships. It aims to improve patterns of attachment and trust.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Self Psychology Explores the development of self-esteem and identity. It emphasizes the importance of empathy in healing.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: I believe healing happens-regardless of the ways in which we suffer and struggle-through a deeper, more insightful connection with ourselves and those around us. My role is to help you develop greater insight, understanding and a sense of empowerment. It is from this position that you can thrive and grow and live without fear.

We are all simply trying to figure out how to be human beings. My aim is to help you live in ways that are empowering and authentic; which I believe include the way we relate to ourselves and others.
To do this I use a multitude of approaches. I provide EMDR, clinical hypnosis, couples and relational counseling. I welcome all members of LGBTQI+/Poly/Kink/BIPOC and Neurodiverse communities. I invest intentional time and effort in ongoing education specifically into the best ways of working psychoanalytically with all members of these communities and in providing the highest level of care for all.
