Hello! I am a therapist who draws heavily on approaches such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems to help someone make deep changes in their life. Common issues include relationships, work, health or some other kind of painful or challenging transition. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stressed, burned out, stuck, or overcome by confusing emotions. I can work closely with you to help you gain clarity and confidence. I would collaborate with you to explore in a very curious, accepting and compassionate way what you need to feel empowered to create a more meaningful and satisfying life for yourself.

Working with adults and teens, my experience is largely with mood and anxiety disorders, particularly Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This includes work with people at all stages of recovery from substance abuse and with survivors of sexual abuse. In addition, I partner with physicians in helping people live well with chronic pain or chronic medical conditions. I also have expertise in family work - helping people to negotiate the challenges of divorce and remarriage, and enhancing the lives of intercultural and interracial families. My approach is grounded in mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, and attachment theories.

Are you a parent of a teen and feeling overwhelmed or unhappy with your parenting? In an intimate relationship that feels like it's going nowhere? I work with parents, couples, and individuals to help them with relational and life issues. My specialties include: - families with "challenging" teens, working directly with parents to support them in shifting their stance to support their teen to be their best. Common issues include feeling overwhelmed, micromanaging and finding that it's just not working, anger, frustration, and loss.
