I utilize a relational framework when working with adults and older teens. Research has shown that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship you have with your therapist. The modalities change over time, but the need to experience trust in examining your inner landscape is essential and unwavering. I believe that the essence of the self is a sum of relationships you have experienced over your lifetime. I am also IFS informed, which looks at the system of your personality and how all of the parts of you fit together. The goal is to decrease conflicts/contradictions to establish a feeling of peaceful harmony within.

My speciality is working with people who have experienced trauma. I use a range of modalities, including EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Expressive Arts Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Talk Therapy, to help my patients see real change. My approach is engaged, relational, and embodied.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck? I can help you find ways to cope with uncomfortable feelings so that you can feel more balance in your daily life and more fulfilling relationships and experiences. Many of us rely on friends and family to help us work through problems, but sometimes our friends or family are part of the problem itself. Or maybe we just don't feel comfortable talking about certain issues with them. Oftentimes we withdraw from our support systems and end up feeling more and more alone.

How are you doing? How are the people in your life doing? Sometimes, we wish that the answer to the second question didn't have an effect on the first, but it does. I believe that relationships are a key component to our ability to thrive- whether it's romantic, platonic, or the relationship you have with yourself. You'd be surprised how often the biggest stressors in our lives are associated with the relationships we have with our partners, our families, or within ourselves.

We all need to be seen & witnessed. Whatever it is that feels too hard—be it exploring identity, navigating attachment wounds, combating obsessional sequences, or processing the collective grief in the world—one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself is dedicated time just for you & your needs. I would be honored to walk with you on your path. For me, therapy is relational. The human on the other side of the room (or screen) should feel like precisely that: a human! Together, we will create a container in which you can authentically examine your relationships with others as well as the pivotal relationship to self.

I have extensive experience working with adults and children as young as 3. I specialize in helping children other therapists describe as "difficult to treat," including children who are traumatized, emotionally unregulated, physically aggressive, or have difficulty connecting with adults and caregivers. I will work with your child whose needs have not been met in schools or by other therapists. I help children through play, physical movement, games, art, and words. I help overwhelmed parents with sound psychological guidance. I have seventeen years' experience and I teach and train other therapists.

Your calendar is filled to the brim and your mind is racing with thoughts. Soon after you get that rush from checking off a box on your to-do list, panic sets in knowing the list never ends. You are a doer and giver - often going to great lengths to please everyone around you. You try your best but still, it never feels like enough. You fear that if you slow down and pause for a moment, everything will fall apart - even you. You want more balance and ease in your life, but you have no idea where to begin.

I enjoy working with all kinds of people. Doing work on past trauma, depression or anxiety is hard work, and I respect and admire people who are willing to do it. Like physical health, mental health isn’t a one shot, once a week thing. I encourage clients to integrate self-care in ways that make sense to them. Life can be challenging. Things like anxiety and depression don't go away entirely. We change our relationship with them. We practice kindness with ourselves and others. When we feel depressed or anxious, we practice self-care. The work that I do will help you to learn compassion and understanding with yourself and others.

Life's challenges are like unmarked trails—sometimes overwhelming, often unexpected. I specialize in navigating these terrains, from anxiety and depression to the rocky terrain of trauma and life transitions. I understand that healing and personal growth are not always linear processes. Thus, the journey we undertake may not always follow the straightest path; it may require us to navigate unexpected turns and adapt our course as we uncover new insights about yourself. This flexibility is a key to my approach, allowing us to explore the depth of your experiences and emotions in a way that is both meaningful and transformative.
