My expertise lies in working alongside people through the impact of grief, trauma, and life transitions, and supporting children and their caregivers through early childhood.

I specialize in EMDR and Trauma Focused CBT interventions to help adults get "unstuck" from repeated patterns in their lives.
I work with adults who have been impacted by trauma and want to move "past the past" to be more successful in their lives and relationships. You may feel like you are repeating the same patterns in your life; having the same fights with your partner, feeling disconnected with your children or a lack of grounding in your job or relationships. You may feel anger that the things that happened in the past are still impacting you. As adults, we are often re-triggered by the things that happened in the past, even in childhood. If this sounds like you, I may be able to help.

Do you experience intense emotions that interfere with your relationships or personal goals? The world around us can feel chaotic or overwhelming at times, yet reacting on our immediate emotions can actually make things worse. We often engage in destructive behaviors because they make us feel better in the moment and give us a sense of control in an uncontrollable situation yet end up causing harm in the long run. Instead, we can learn to take a step back, understand and acknowledge our feelings, and make choices that lead to our desired outcome without leaving a path of destruction that we are later responsible for cleaning up.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the central component to successful psychotherapy and I bring special attention to the ongoing process of relational safety. I also believe that self-harmful behaviors always have roots in past experiences of threat and it can be life-changing to discover these connections. I work to help individuals establish goals, explore their experiences, gain self-awareness, develop resources and skills, cultivate self-compassion, and find greater self-empowerment so they can create a more fulfilling and meaningful life for themselves.

I am passionate about advocating for clients through a trauma-informed lens by being a Certified Trauma Professional and a trained EMDR practitioner. My approach to therapy is primarily rooted in Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, and other trauma-orientated approaches, however I enjoy adapting to each clients’ needs. I believe cognitions or beliefs derived from early experiences influence behavior and how someone might view themselves, others, and the world. This pattern can be brought to awareness in counseling and through the use of techniques as well as compassion, can be transformed to be more desirable to you and your goals.

For over 30 years, I have provided psychotherapy to adults. People from all walks of life need help at some point. Some are struggling with anxiety or depression or have experienced something traumatic and can't seem to move on from it. Others come because a relationship is in trouble and they need help to repair and restore it or they are seeking support to survive the break-up. Still others are dealing with issues of grief and loss, burnout, codependency, traumatic childhoods and addictions. With the pandemic, everything is heightened: our fears, our struggles, even our ability to be kind to ourselves and parent our children.
