I believe we each need to be understood, valued, and accepted exactly as we are. My goal is to provide a safe and affirming relationship where we can collaboratively explore who you are, how you came to be, and who you hope to become as we work together toward your goals. I bring a holistic perspective that emphasizes healing in relationship and integration of mind & body. In session this might look like practicing mindfulness, learning nervous system regulation tools, exploring attachment, or practicing communication. My hope is that therapy can empower you to live authentically, accept yourself more fully, and cultivate belonging.

We are all shaped by the worlds we live in, by our communities, our experiences, and our identities. I learned early on that my experiences were not always the same as those around me. This has given me both awareness & a particular interest in understanding how people navigate the changes involved in starting over, whether that is in a new place, a new job, or new relationships. My goal as a therapist is to help you do more things you want to in your life, despite the pain and distress that you may experience.

Anxiety can make life feel narrowed and limited. It can seem like anxiety is running the show. I help my clients build skills to increase their sense of agency and flexibility so they have more choice in their life. I also work with my clients on clarifying what matters most to them and support them in making choices that align with those values

Impossible is temporary. As a relational psychologist specializing in issues like trauma and addictions, I have learned this time and time again. The combination of a supportive relationship, motivation to change well-worn patterns, and clear, concrete guidance can lead to changes far beyond what people believe is possible. Sometimes it seems "impossible" to live a deeper, more connected existence. We may carry scars of rejection and betrayal that keep us from being our truest selves. We heal in the context of genuine, warm, accepting relationships that also encourage us to take risks. I so enjoy building these relationships.

If you feel like it’s hard to stay afloat, you are not alone. Times are stressful and we all could use help. If you have experienced trauma, life is especially painful and difficult to navigate. You might feel unsafe in the world, unable to trust others, or sometimes don’t know how to trust and really know yourself. You may feel shame, depression, or anger, or you may have terrible memories or images in your mind you just can’t escape. You may even freeze or have anxiety that feels out of control. It can be overwhelming and hard to know how to even start healing from trauma. There is hope for change, and therapy can help with this.

I am passionate about coming into the Here and Now with clients and believe in the healing power of being witnessed with presence and loving kindness. Using mindfulness based practices I focus on supporting clients in addressing issues of depression, anxiety, and identity issues. In session I emphasize bringing the client’s attention out of thoughts/stories and into their present moment bodily experience with the understanding that more immediate change can occur this way. I enjoy experiencing the client and counselor relationship as a microcosm of the client’s greater relational life, and an opportunity to do deep healing.
