Providers

In life, we all experiences times of emotional pain. Sometimes, this leads to depression, anxiety, and or other challenges impact your relationships, work, and well-being. I work collaboratively with each person to help relieve unnecessary suffering and free your innate capacities.

To understand our emotional health, we much consider both the psychological and biological components of our being. Medications can be an important part of a holistic treatment plan. I also strive to stay informed of current research and developments in psychiatry, integrative medicine, and nutrition science.

Psychotherapy can be an integral part of a holistic treat plan. Many find psychotherapy a valuable investment that fosters healing, resilience, and growth, long after treatment has completed. I am informed by psychodynamic, emotionally-focused, and experiential foundations. I tailor my therapy to each individual’s needs to provide a nurturing, but active therapeutic relationship. I am happy to collaborate with your current therapist as well.
