My clients seek help for relationship issues that make them feel disconnected, lonely, angry, and powerless to make things change. I start by creating a space for each individual to feel safe and heard. Approaching in a nonjudgmental way, we collaborate to allow their strengths to lead the way out of their darkness and find new ways to accomplish what they want most in life.

With over 14 years of experience, my belief is that seeking out counseling services is a brave and proactive way to improve one’s quality of life. I strive to tailor all of my clients’ therapeutic journeys to their respective individual hopes, goals and needs to leave them feeling more complete, joyful, and with a greater understanding of themselves than prior to entering therapy. I aim to create a warm, kind, inclusive and safe therapeutic space that is free of judgment and open to what the client brings to each session. I particularly enjoy working with clients through transitional periods in their life.

Now scheduling for October 2024! I work with children and adolescents on issues such as anxiety and OCD, grief, ADHD, and emotional regulation. With young children, I use a child-centered approach to play, following the child's lead and making space for growth. I believe play is the child's language and that children heal through play when given safe space and support to explore. Children in my practice love coming to play! With older children and adolescents I take a strengths based approach and trust the client to lead.

Walk and talk therapy is an innovative approach to psychotherapy that combines physical activity with traditional talk therapy. Conducted outdoors, this method involves the therapist and client walking together during their sessions. The benefits of walk and talk therapy are multifaceted. Firstly, the physical activity can help reduce stress and anxiety, as exercise is known to release endorphins, which improve mood. Secondly, the natural environment can provide a calming and grounding backdrop, making it easier for clients to open up and discuss their thoughts and feelings.

I offer trauma-informed, psychodynamic psychotherapy. As a Psychoanalyst with decades of clinical experience and personal spiritual practice, I can deeply empathize and lift to awareness the wounds that shaped your inner life and external relationships, creating patterns and suffering that often remain repetitive and destructive. Trained to discern the whispers of the unconscious, I translate current patterns and impasses back to their original trauma and provide a psycho-spiritual process for working through, regardless of your Higher Power. This concise and serious work helps integrate the whole person – mind, body and spirit.
