I believe that healing is a highly unique journey that takes courage, curiosity, and acceptance, but frankly, it looks just a little bit different for everyone. Over the years, I have developed a strong interest in working with individuals navigating life transitions whether that is college, graduate school, becoming a parent, significant relationship changes, grief and loss, or career related shifts. Oftentimes we can feel overwhelmed, disengaged, anxious, and uncertain about what is yet to come amidst all this change. You are ready for something different, you are ready to live a more fulfilling and connected life.

I currently work with clients 12 years and older, both individuals and families, who are seeking support related to trauma, depression, self-injury and suicidal ideation, family relationships, Reactive Attachment Disorder, anxiety, body dysmorphia, grief and loss, LGBTQIA+ issues (and other identity-related issues), and social anxiety, among others.
As a relational therapist with previous experience as a youth worker, I believe most suffering is caused by a failure of belonging. When trauma or other significant difficulties occur, we can take on beliefs and ways of being that are bound by the feeling that we are alone and unable to access the world of belonging, both within ourselves and in relationships. We find it almost impossible to honor all our parts and to feel free to accept them. My aim as a therapist, then, is to create a space where a client’s experiences may fully belong and they may feel understood and valued for who they are in the way they choose to be.

My experience includes the treatment of trauma, loss, and related problems such as PTSD/Complex PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders, chronic difficulties in relationships, and disorders of the self.
Psychotherapy is something that happens between people...you and me. It is a process that I expertly and sensitively guide, but it is something that we experience together. Relationships, past and present, may be a source of pain, frustration, or fear...but they are also the key to unlocking your full potential. Together, we will work to alleviate your most pressing problems as well as to develop a fuller understanding of the deeper, underlying issues that keep you stuck in emotional and relational patterns that limit your capacity to more fully give and receive love.

I specialize in life transitions, anxiety, communication skills, co-occurring disorders, depression, resilience, grief and loss, mindfulness, and communication.
We’ve all struggled at times, in ways both big and small. If you are interested in changing your relationship with yourself and others, I can help. People come to me to better their communication skills, unlearn patters that negatively impact their significant relationships (including with self), and make room for joy and meaning. Some clients come looking for tools to manage anxiety; others seek tips and insight for navigating through grief and loss; still others wish to improve their intimacy and communication with their partners. I work with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of life's experiences.

I also have an expertise in working with parenting, pregnancy, miscarriage/families pregnancy loss, and infertility.
Therapy is a process of investigation and change, looking deeply at what works and what doesn't work. While some answers may lie in the past, you and I will work together to understand your life, relationships, and desire for change as they are right now. Change begins the moment you recognize the need for it. I have the skills, compassion, and desire to help you explore new possibilities and practice the change you want. Examples of issues I have worked with include depression and anxiety, infertility, life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, and family of origin and attachment issues.

You may be considering therapy because of relationship issues, job loss/change, grief and loss, mood changes, managing stress, etc.
Bringing Together Art and Science reflects my clinical practice with adults, adolescents and couples. It is grounded in attachment theory, developmental/complex trauma, cognitive behavioral theory, psychodynamic theory and cultural competency. My practice also integrates emerging neuroscience research about the brain and how childhood and family experiences, including trauma, affects the brain and becomes the blueprint for subsequent relationships throughout our lives. My practice also has a human and artistic element - everyone is unique and our work together reflects this.

Whether you're dealing with burnout, stress, apathy, panic attacks, existential questions, anxiety, sadness, grief, stress, identity questions, or considering a life change, healing and growing can be complex and scary.
I help people become more fully themselves by reconnecting them with their strengths and discovering root causes. Finding a therapist can be intimidating and discouraging. But, it's worth it. If you're keeping it together on the outside but feeling burned out, tired, anxious, or apathetic; or if you feel off but you're not sure why; you're in the right place. My style blends candor with warmth, insight with empathy, existential ponderings with practical strategies, and humor with compassion.

I enjoy working with a diverse population of people dealing with depression, anxiety and fears, personality disorders, grief and relationship problems.
So often in life we think the key to finding happiness exists in something outside of ourselves. We change jobs, partners, friends and cities only to find ourselves exactly as we were, living with the same problems and patterns, and ultimately in the same self-imposed prisons. As children, we intuitively develop adaptive solutions to maladaptive situations that enable us to protect our hearts and minds. Unbeknownst to our consciousness, these self-deceptions no longer protect us, but in fact compromise our capacity for growth.
