Who I am as a psychotherapist is shaped not only by my clinical experience but also by a personal understanding of the difference the right support can make. This understanding is especially important in the areas where much of my work is focused, as experiences such as betrayal trauma, abuse, addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, OCD, and the lasting effects of generational trauma are often misunderstood or minimized.

My work is deeply rooted in how our earliest relationships shape how we understand ourselves, connect with others, and respond to the world as adults. What’s happening in the present often becomes more clear when we make room to understand what came before it.

How we explore those connections together also matters. I believe honesty is part of caring for you, so I’ll be straightforward and willing to challenge you while treating every part of your experience with respect and compassion.

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and grounded in attachment, but understanding the past is only part of our work. I also draw from experiential and solution-focused approaches so that therapy can address what’s happening in your life now and what you want to be different. The process is collaborative, with ongoing attention to safety and trust and your voice and autonomy remaining central to the direction of therapy. I want our work to help you understand yourself more clearly and strengthen trust in your own judgement.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my work. If you feel we may be a good fit, I’d be honored to support you and look forward to meeting you.
