As a psychotherapist, I act as your collaborator, witness and guide, and bring curiosity and warmth to your exploration. Trauma, past wounding and internalized negative beliefs can make it difficult to know what you need from moment to moment. Therefore, in session, I support you in cultivating self-agency so that you may become familiar with what is right for you at a pace that is both constructive and safe. I am here to help you navigate difficult transitions, past and new traumas, grief and loss, shifts in identity, and a desire to change patterns in relationship on your path towards fulfilling connections to self and others.

When you decide to look for a therapist, you may already be feeling overwhelmed by all that has led you to therapy in the first place. The process of finding a trusting, warm, and well-qualified therapist is indeed a challenging one; however, I try to make it as easy and seamless as possible for you. With over ten years of professional clinical experience with individuals of all ages, families, and couples, I feel confident that I can help you navigate your therapeutic experience with ease.

Learning to love, tend, and support our bodies in a society that often devalues the experiences of the body is hard. If you are someone who has experienced trauma and/or is struggling with either chronic pain, fatigue, overwhelm, burnout, low self-esteem, struggles with your sense of self, boundaries, and/or even knowing what your needs are, you’re not alone. Do you want to learn how to better support your nervous system? To feel and communicate your boundaries and needs with those around you for stronger and more fulfilling connections? Do you hope to feel more joy, confidence, and ease in your day-to-day life? Welcome!

It is my passion to support and walk alongside others as they explore the depths of their being- that which makes them truly unique. As a clinician, my holistic therapeutic approach is informed by the wisdom and strength that I derive from the body, nature, creative expression and deep inquiry. I am also relational in my orientation- bringing warmth, openness, curiosity, patience, and flexibility to my clients in order to support their dynamic needs as they emerge in the present. I see every individual as autonomous and worthy of respect, compassion and care.

I specialize in working with individuals in high stress professions and those with deep interpersonal relationships, such as being a parent or guardian, sibling, manager, employee, partner, etc. It's difficult to manage ones' own wants, needs, and values while attempting to maintain these complicated relationships. Typically, I help individuals analyze their own patterns of behavior and help dispel myths transmitted to them through their past and current environments. I

Welcome and thank you for your interest in my practice. Choosing a therapist involves your heart and mind and willingness to trust another with your inner thoughts. I have over twenty years of experience, working with adults on a wide range of issues. My approach is "integrative"- focusing on both deep-seated patterns as well as practical issues. Although trained in various techniques, I believe the quality of our relationship is important for meaningful therapy. I incorporate skills for reducing depression and anxiety, improving relationships and dealing with the many stressors we face. I can help you feel better.

I specialize in working with parents, couples, and adults who have trouble with negative self-talk, perfectionism or anxiety. These symptoms may be caused by painful early childhood experiences, difficult perinatal experiences, systemic oppression, or simply high sensitivity to painful realities such as climate change. If you have struggled with the impacts of trauma, with shame, insomnia, or with the challenges of early parenthood, I am here to support you. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP).

I enjoy working with children, teens, families, and those interested in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. While I work with a variety of demographics and backgrounds, I’ve found my work most focused around those suffering from eating disorders, addictions, women’s issues, terminal illness, grief and spiritual emergence. Those whose realities feel tenuous, who want to take back control of their life. Who they are, and who they hope to be.

I work best with clients who are looking for a safe and caring therapy relationship in order to pursue goals that have previously seemed too difficult to achieve alone. These goals typically range from wanting to experience life more fully, including a fuller range of emotions, to having more rewarding relationships and more fulfilling work lives. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 33 years, have been teaching it for almost as long, and feel comfortable assisting with a very wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, parenting challenges and other relationship and family conflicts.

Now you are a mother/father, juggling childcare, professional development, housework… what about US? What about ME? How to teach our kids when we don’t even agree?

I believe that the soul has an innate drive toward healing. We each have the capacity to heal ourselves if we can slow down enough to notice what is asking for our attention. I approach therapy as a weekly collaborative ritual in which clients can become more skilled at listening and giving voice to their inner knowing. Weaving together tools from expressive arts, somatic experiencing, and trauma-informed relational psychotherapy, I offer an integrated, whole-person approach in which we work as a team to uncover your intuitive guidance and learn how to tap in to the wisdom of your higher self.
