My work with kids, teens, adults, couples and families is based on growth, empowerment, and creativity. Because therapy is at its core a collaborative process, both the journey and the destination are co-created and regularly reexamined so we can trace paths forward with confident steps. Along the paths you will walk, the obstacles that reveal themselves will require many parts of you, some known and other unknown. My position in this journey is to visit these places with you: Paying respect to your pain, anger, and/or sadness while finding moments to celebrate the successes and joys that make the journey worth the steps.

Behind so much of how we think, what we long for, and how we relate to ourselves and others lies unacknowledged shame, trauma, and the strategies we developed, sometimes very early on, to cope with and hide these realities from ourselves. These make up the “muscle memory” of our emotional worlds, which cannot always be easily recalled, but determine our lives nonetheless. Therapy aims to cultivate awareness of what lies underneath in disconnected, dissociated ways, and provides a space to move through the pain, accept, and integrate the past so that it no longer repeats itself in our lives.

My clients often identify as high achievers, with a rich inner world, a beautifully full mind that sometimes attracts anxiety and hypervigilance. Occasionally their past wounds trick them into thinking their present will inevitably suffer. Many remember feeling emotionally/mentally unsafe while simultaneously trying to make decisions that keep them safe. This can lead to seasons of intense self-criticism, fear, and persistent negative thoughts. However, these folks are often ready to break free from old patterns and achieve joy despite it all! Many have succeeded at this but are too close to survival mode still so they reach out.

I help children and adults of any gender find self-acceptance and belonging without shrinking themselves to fit in. If you struggle with grief, loneliness, or disconnection I want to help you find your sense of belonging and connection. As a relational, psychodynamic psychotherapist, I am interested in the whole of you—the parts you find acceptable and the parts of you that remain exiled in the shadows. We exist as embodied ecosystems rich with specificity, including the people, places, social identities, experiences, and beliefs which have shaped how we move through the world and our relationship with suffering, pain, and desire.

If you’re someone coming to me of your own choosing and are at the point where “okay” isn't good enough anymore, this will contribute a lot to your success in therapy. You may be experiencing problems with your moods, have physical pain, or maybe feel confused about decisions you need to make; maybe you feel disconnected from your self or your world. You may be looking for clarity of purpose, inspiration, and courage. Your need for feeling safe and having love and a sense of belonging in your life is often at the center of many issues, and our work is to forge a pathway to experience these things as you work toward fully healing.

Pain is the best teacher, but often it can be difficult to understand what emotional pain is trying to speak. It may be trying to get your attention through an unwanted behavior, an unbearable feeling, or an unbreakable thought pattern. It may show itself in repeated relational dysfunction, addiction, or disturbances in mood or sleep. I find I work well with people who are exhausted from trying to manage or control emotional pain, and are ready to face it holistically and head-on. I also help people suffering from complicated and acute psychological problems which have not responded well to other therapy treatments.

Nearly 30 years of experience in the mental health and addiction field has helped me to be able to offer an eclectic approach for each person who walks through the door. When cognitive behavioral therapy is needed for solution focused work, that's what we'll do. When a deep dive into family of origin work is needed, we can make that our focus, using a variety of modalities that speak to the individual.

I’m a kind, outgoing person who loves connecting with others and hearing what their stories are in a way that makes them feel seen, heard and not judged. I offer individual, family, and couples therapy.
When it comes to therapy, I'm all about it being centered around you! This approach is called narrative therapy, it helps others see how there are positives in life despite what hardships they may be experiencing. The journey to healing is a beautiful thing and our stories can be re-written to help our healing.
