Welcoming new folks: I see individuals and relationships, including romantic and non-romantic duos (i.e. friends, adult siblings). My approach is trauma-/systems-informed and relational. Our work together will respond to what you need from this space, recognizing that no one approach fits all. We’ll make sense of a constellation of experiences, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, exploring their origins and contexts, protective functions, and impacts on your self and relationships. Our collaborative process enables you (us!) to gently explore past wounds, deepen reflection and curiosity, and find new ways of being to heal and grow.

I've been licensed since 2006. My experience in addiction is extensive, including work in inpatient, outpatient and detox. I tailor each client's treatment needs individually using evidence based EMDR, CBT, DBT and psychodynamic therapy. Together we will learn to pay close attention to aspects of yourself that you may be unable to touch on your own. I look for patterns in either behavior or thoughts. Examining past family dynamics and reaching unconscious behavior, I connect that information to how it affects our current lives. Currently I am doing telemedicine with couples, individuals and I run CBT and DBT addiction groups.

Are you feeling disconnected? Existential dread? Shame? My therapeutic style is warm, grounded and direct. I work to co-create a therapeutic space for speaking freely to address intense, painful, or confusing feelings without judgement. Connecting in the present moment opens the possibility of awareness and relief in the present moment while also addressing underlying dynamics. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, people who have experienced trauma, and organizers, artists, and people pushed to the margins of society.

You've "worked on" yourself plenty but you still feel stuck or blocked. You get anxious or reactive in situations when, rationally, you know that you "shouldn't". The way you actually relate to yourself and people in your life does not look or feel like you wish it would. You know you are capable of more; personally, professionally, creatively, spiritually but your head and heart can't seem to get aligned. You want to feel more at peace in your own skin, more connected to the people in your life, and more engaged with life.

Are you seeking a path of fulfillment personally and in your relationships? Engaging in a rich and meaningful life requires knowing ourselves deeply and acting on intentional choices guided by our core values, feelings, and desires. Our relationships can become more intimate as we develop clarity about our needs and courage to be vulnerable with those we trust to meet us on this level. When we have experienced trauma, pelvic pain, or challenging relationships, we need space to heal. I support clients in deepening their capacity for presence, emotional intimacy, and pleasure through mindfulness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance.
