I provide a welcoming, therapeutic space to explore and process inner conflicts as they emerge through a child’s most innate language of play.
I'm on maternity leave until January 2025. Please reach out for openings at that time. For children, behavior is a way to communicate needs. When complex emotions arise through challenging behaviors, parents may be left feeling unsure how to respond. Does your child seem overly anxious? Are they highly distressed when separated from you? Maybe they've experienced a significant loss or you’d like to prepare them for a family life change. Are you an adoptive or foster family wanting help with bonding and building secure attachment? Do you hope to gain clearer insight into your child’s needs and support them through a stressful time?

Life can present difficult feelings and experiences that become overwhelming. Therapy can be a way to manage these complicated feelings of sadness, anger, anxiety or just a general feeling of “stuckness”. I believe that everyone has the ability to unlock their potential and move forward.

However, I firmly believe that within this turbulence lies a wellspring of inspiration and resilience unique to our own personal experiences. By reshaping and sharing our narratives, we can find our true path and tap into our untapped potential. My desire is to work together to cultivate resilience and strength, uncovering the best version of you.

There's a delicate balance between accepting oneself as you are and making the changes you deeply desire. Cultivating quiet and stillness allows you to listen to your inner knowing and the answers you are seeking. My own spiritual practice informs me as I honor and support your personal journey. What's most essential for healing is the relationship between client and therapist. Clients have described their experience with me as open, deeply caring, respectful, irreverent, collaborative, both gentle and direct, grounding and real.

My work with children has deepened my understanding of child developmental needs, which, in turn, informs working with the young parts of adult clients as they get stirred in daily life.
I like to work relationally, which means that we, together, work on whatever challenges present themselves for you at this time in your life. It is my belief that each of us holds the answers to our own life challenges within ourselves. Therapy can create a supportive framework that can help clear debris from life's path so that one can see the path more clearly. Adult life is often connected to our history, and the culture/environments we grew up in. Therapy can be a place to understand the threads between past and present. I often work with folks who are becoming parents. This phase is complex and can stir the silt of our story.

I studied Child Development at Tufts University, attended Smith College School for Social Work and graduated Massachusetts Institute of Psychoanalysis Fellowship.
I am here to help you embrace your authenticity and find liberation from stories, patterns, habits and ways of being that don’t fit who you want to be. I believe that there is always a good reason that certain ways of relating first developed AND those patterns can have costs that can be painful. My work balances providing education and strategies, with noticing and practicing different ways of relating to yourself, your feelings and others. I particularly enjoy working with parents, pregnant people, young adults, and people in helping professions.

I specialize in work with children, adolescents, and adults through a trauma-informed lens that is both integrative and client-centered to help clients develop the tools needed to become the architects of their lives and futures.
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.
