I specialize in couples/relationship therapy, women's issues, mood and personality disorders. In my practice, I work from a trauma-informed, feminist framework to create a safe place of compassion and empathy, where you can feel heard and feel safe to reconnect to your power, voice, and confidence. My goal is to provide a therapeutic space where connection can be made, stories can be shared and honored, and healing and growth can flourish.
I work with aspects of narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, trauma-informed CBT and other evidence-based modalities to assist individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, complex trauma and attachment issues. I approach couple's work utilizing Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy and the Gottman Method.
I understand that reaching out for help takes courage. It’s normal to feel uncertain or overwhelmed, but you don’t have to face this alone. Together, we can create a safe space to explore your feelings and experiences. If you feel ready, I invite you to connect with me. Let’s take this journey together, at your own pace.
