I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families on a range of things, from family and relationship issues to life transitions, depression and anxiety, grief, larger existential questions, and other things. A particular focus is helping people in crisis manage and make meaning from difficulties. My approach to therapy is supportive, relational, and client-centered, with a focus on how things manifest themselves in the here and now. More than anything, I try to create a safe space for tuning in to feelings, finding balance, healing, and working on change.
I have trained in a variety of modalities including contemporary cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and experiential. I draw heavily on developmental psychology, mindfulness practices, and attachment theory. My background includes work in community mental health clinics, non-profits, psychiatric hospitals, and state programs, as well private practice.
I believe we all have the innate capacity for basic goodness, connection, growth, and healing and that therapy can be transformative. I welcome and celebrate diversity in my practice and have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ+ community. I invite you to contact me and schedule a free telephone consult to see if I might be a good fit for you.
