You're looking for a mind/body approach to mental wellness. You want to get to know yourself on a deeper level, and integrating neuropsychological testing into this journey can be invaluable. Testing can help you develop a closer relationship with your thoughts, emotions, and sensations. You have tried different approaches, which have only led to dead ends and need to be diagnosed to push through fully. I will partner with you to explore what is holding you back and getting in the way of reaching your full potential. Together, we will remove any barriers keeping you stuck, freeing you up to focus on what is most important in your life. Over my 14-year career as a therapist, I have developed a solid intuitive understanding of the unique needs of each individual. With this in mind, I collaborate to craft a tailored approach to meet your goals. I have extensive experience helping individuals with trauma, depression, anxiety & panic, social anxiety, insomnia, addictions, and relationship concerns. In addition, I have worked with hundreds of couples.

The underpinnings of my beliefs are that each person has the inherent ability to heal if led down the right path. I want to understand the essence of each person I work with to help you grow in understanding and effectiveness. My values as a therapist are integrity, honesty, and openness. This is what you will get from me. I will show up with my best self, fully present and attuned to your needs. It doesn't matter what you're going through. It can always improve. My goal is to provide you with as much information as possible on different approaches that may be beneficial to you so that you can make an informed decision about what path you want to take. You are the expert on you, and I am the expert on the therapies, but together we are a more formidable force. The power of the therapeutic relationship is transformative and crucial to change. So, I want to ensure it is a good fit for you. I have extensive training in trauma work and couples.
