About My Clients

Do you find yourself fighting, fleeing or freezing when your boundaries are crossed? Do you convince yourself it’s not a big deal or blame yourself for the conflict? Are you afraid to speak up, worried that “rocking the boat” might lead to rejection or shame? I’m here to help you build the confidence to set clear, healthy boundaries, stop avoiding what you truly want, and develop more fulfilling, authentic relationships. Together, we’ll work on empowering you to create the life and connections.

My Background and Approach

My goal is to support you in building the confidence to set clear, healthy boundaries, stop avoiding what you truly want, and develop more fulfilling, authentic relationships. Together, we’ll tailor techniques to your unique needs—whether it’s recognizing emotional triggers, improving communication, or setting boundaries. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, integrating body-centered methods like EMDR and mindfulness, coping strategies such as CBT and DBT, and deeper explorations through Psychodynamic and Neuro-Affective Relational therapies to help process past pain and build resilience.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

When we suffer, we connect with the suffering of others. We learn that we are not alone in our sadness, our fears and pain. There are basic human needs that we all share. Just like me, just like your neighbor, just like you—we all want to feel loved, worthy, understood and safe. My wish is that you leave my office believing that your wellbeing is important to me and that you feel heard.
