Let’s be real: being a person is hard. That’s an easy enough fact to acknowledge, but the truly difficult part is deciding when and where to put your vulnerabilities on display. While committing to the therapeutic process can feel unpredictable and is not without its messy bits, taking a step towards prioritizing yourself and your wellbeing is an act of incredible courage.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing care from a relational perspective. Working from a relational analytic/interpersonal approach implies many different things, but perhaps the most central is that the nature of the treatment I provide will always depend on your needs, and typically only become apparent after a nonjudgmental and deeply collaborative exploration of your experience. Put simply, I assume that successful treatment requires me coming to understand your experience and value commitments in a deeply nuanced fashion, as opposed to applying generic treatment strategies.

In my individual, couples, and family work, values of collaboration, mutuality, and connection guide my practice. I partner with clients to identify their own unique strengths that can be used as resources to foster growth and change. I am attentive to the role of early family experiences, cultural values, oppression, and stigma in shaping client's experiences. Particularly when addressing painful or traumatic areas, I attend to clients' emotional safety using mindfulness and body awareness. I believe that healing happens in the context of honest relationships and invite my clients to engage in open dialog about our work together.

I am most drawn to supporting individuals interested in empathically instilling acceptance for themselves and the ways they have survived within their environment. I work best with teens and young adults who want to learn to befriend their feelings, rather then just think about emotions. If you find yourself struggling with transitions, managing emotions, or trusting yourself and others, I would be honored to support you. Together we can discover ways to reduce tension and increase understanding around what your “symptoms” are trying to tell you.

I work well with clients who are ready to get into the weeds with the presenting issues and can handle challenges that are thrown at them. I am a big proponent of open dialogue and my clients being the expert on themselves. I work well with clients that have clear goals and initiative to work toward those goals.

We do the best we can for our lives, however, old traumas, wounds and life challenges can create suffering, depression and anxiety. This can be a very lonely place to be 'stuck in'. I have worked extensively with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, chronic pain, interpersonal issues, and adjustment problems and seen time and again, that when people are held with compassion and warmth, there can be tremendous healing and big transformations. No matter at what pace you want to go, this journey of healing and growth should not be a lonely one.

I help clients heal the loss associated with adoption; transracial adoptees dealing with identity issues; and adoptees working through all of the complex emotions related to search and reunion. Are you a people pleaser, wanting to make everyone happy but yourself? Do you have intense feelings over breakups and other losses? Are you fiercely independent and hate taking help from others? Being placed for adoption can reverberate through all aspects of your life. As an adoptee myself, I "get it". I also work with the other sides of the adoption triad: birthparents and adoptive parents.
