I am a psychotherapist licensed therapist in California, Utah and Arizona. I have 20 years of experience and my approach is psychoanalytic, relational and collaborative. I have an enduring interest in psychological crises and struggles within relationships. I'm interested in how our attachment histories can contribute to our current states and how they've shaped who we are. I also offer virtual Circle of Security Parenting Groups.
I specialize in individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, struggling to navigate an life event or change, or experiencing relationship distress. I offer a holding space to process thoughts and feelings and find coherence.
