I have had the opportunity to work as a Clinician for the past 12 years. I am a bereavement/grief specialist and will help you with the most challenging part of life; loss. Grief is a journey, and I will walk the journey with you. I also work with chronic pain and illness management. Some days can be very difficult to just get out of bed. I will be your cheerleader to keep going and set small goals. Having a new health diagnosis can be shocking and difficult to maneuver. Why walk these challenges alone? I have worked with a variety of diagnoses including PTSD, Trauma Therapy, depression and anxiety.

We all have a story to tell and we are all driven to make meaning of our lives. Much of our suffering—those times of depression, anxiety, and discontent—arises when the weight of the past and the pressures of the present become overwhelming and we lose our sense of being the author of our own story. I have found that when we are allowed to speak in a compassionate space, to be heard, and to welcome our true selves—even the parts of ourselves that we struggle with—we uncover strengths we didn't know we had. We discover possibilities for change and new relationships, and freedom from old and limiting beliefs. We regain our storyline.

A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance) and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and body/mind tools to assist you in your healing. I am certified in both Safe and Sound Protocol ( SSP) as well as a certified +Heart Math provider. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

Do you need a relationship TUNE-UP or need to address BIG CHALLENGES in your relationship/marriage? Do you wonder: How do we create more closeness? What can we do about fighting about the same things over and over again, without resolution? How can we listen better to each other? Is there hope for us? Most of us never received the information and support we need to have successful healthy relationships. No wonder so many of us end up finding relationships to be problematic, confusing, unfulfilling and painful! I help couples find their way out of confusion, distance or painful dynamics to find clarity, closeness and enduring love.

I support folks in reconnecting with what our bodies have to tell us about our hurts and healing. I am a somatic and Gestalt-trained therapist, meaning that I have particular experience leading folks in reconnecting to their bodies, + working with their nervous systems to access new possibilities for healing. I often work with individuals navigating anxiety, relational difficulties, obsessive compulsive patternings, chronic illness, and grief + loss. I especially enjoy working with folks who have a mindfulness/meditation practice, are curious about embodiment, and interested in cultivating deeper intimacy with themselves and others.

When depression and anxiety become overwhelming, it can interfere with our ability to function on a very basic level. It can also prevent us from experiencing joy and purpose. I take a warm and engaging approach in guiding the therapeutic process for college students, professionals, parents (I'm one!), and seniors living with depression, anxiety, and trauma. My goal is to work together with my clients to navigate life's challenges and improve overall wellbeing.

Effective psychotherapy is a collaborative process and begins with a motivated client and a well-trained clinician. Whether you're dealing with a challenging relationship, a frustrating career, or symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy can be a highly effective resource. In the first couple of sessions, I conduct an evaluation to familiarize myself with your presenting issues and history. We then take steps to hone skills you already have and to develop new strategies to help you navigate your life more successfully. Depending on your needs and preferences, we can work in a short-term model or on an open-ended basis.

Humans are resilient. We break bones and recover. We are not defined by our fractures, so why be defined by our adversities? By the same token, trauma may feel like a fracture to one’s personality, but trauma does not define an individual. On the contrary, but rather, an individual is defined by the characteristics that silently evolve in the aftermath. My approach is relational, psychodynamic-oriented, and skills-based to teach how to manage emotions, tolerate distress, and improve relationships. I aim to tailor treatment based on needs and readiness in order to foster resilience, enhanced insight, and achieve personal growth.
