Do you feel like the same scene is playing out in your life over and over again, but an inability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing confusing and intense feelings and difficulty in understanding why you feel this way? I am a psychotherapist specializing in trauma-focused treatments for children, adults, and couples. I believe that most people who walk into the therapist's office have difficulties that are rooted in trauma. Most traumatic experiences happen in the context of a relationship and can also be healed in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship.

I'm passionate about helping people navigate trauma, addiction, anxiety, relationship turmoil, LGBTQIA+ identity, & self-esteem, among other issues. I blend insight-driven “talk therapy” with mindfulness & emotional regulation practices.
