My approach is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, sex-positive, and relational, integrating psychodynamic therapy, CBT/DBT, the Gottman Method for use with couples, and mindfulness.
My practice is inspired by my belief that all people deserve to live fulfilling, safe, and pleasurable lives. I work in collaboration with my clients, helping them to achieve whatever contentment looks like for them from a down-to-earth and light-hearted stance of humility, non-judgment, curiosity, and compassion. Together, we will make space for your feelings (even the most rejected ones), search beyond stigmatizing labels to pinpoint root causes of symptoms, create a plan for achieving your goals, and develop skills for you to cope with the present. I welcome clients questioning their identities or seeking to heal old wounds.

I have specialized training in the treatment of older adults, trauma, and women's and LGBTQ+ issues.
I believe that meaningful transformation is possible through the therapeutic process, and I am committed to helping you address the issues and conflicts which undermine your ability to achieve happiness and satisfaction. I have several years experience working with adults in a variety of settings (VA and private hospitals, university clinics and psychoanalytic institutes). My orientation is primarily psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, although I employ other approaches, such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, and self psychology interventions, where appropriate. I also believe that understanding the role of culture, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation is a vital part of treatment.

I can provide a safe space and holding environment by my empathic, warm, relational and eclectic approach in which I combine psychodynamic work, dialectical behavioral therapy, somatic work, motivational interviewing, and trauma.
Clients often engage in therapy when in crisis; however, in many cases, it is a trigger of deeper and raw feelings that were never processed and require therapeutic exploration. In our sessions, we will identify your triggers, thought processes, and behavioral patterns. We will explore repressed feelings, reparent your inner child and heal from old patterns. We will learn new and healthy coping skills to deal with these triggers and practice them all together. There is no magic wand, and I cannot “fix” you, but if you are willing to do the work, I will be so happy to guide, support, and validate your feelings.

My mission is to guide people through loss and trauma toward acceptance and healing. Therapy isn't a space where we "fix ourselves," but rather where we find ourselves in our pain and discover how strong we are in the process. Going to therapy is self-empowerment. It means making a conscious decision to start exploring and accepting all parts of self so that you can feel empowered to live your best life. As a clinician, I meet each client where they are, honor their individuality and unique life experience, and co-create a space where they can feel—and heal—trauma, loss, and grief.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
