As a strengths-based and trauma-informed therapist, I am passionate about helping clients to repair deeply held wounds, especially relational wounds, which are often at the core of symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Though I work with clients to help alleviate their troubling symptoms, my work is more fully anchored in the belief that the sensitive exploration of underlying injuries enables not just symptom-reduction but transformation and growth.

I am here for for couples and individuals tired of the same relationship problem showing up over and over. We might be a fit if:
- You and your partner keep having the same fight, just about different topics — or you notice the same dynamic repeating across relationships, friendships, or even at work
- You (or your partner) shut down, over-function, or over-apologize under conflict, and aren't sure why
- You've done "talk about your feelings" therapy before and want to experience doing something with them and actually feeling different
- You are ready to break out of old patterns keeping you trapped in the same dynamics

Often, words are not enough to describe or make sense of our experiences, feelings and memories of what life brings us. Distressing and traumatic events can leave us feeling fragmented, isolated, on high alert, panicked, stuck in our trauma memories and nightmares and hopeless about our future. We most often see people of all ages who feel like other forms of therapy have not gotten them to their goals, are looking for a non-verbal way to express themselves and want a better quality of life.
