We've all experienced the pain of feeling stuck-- in our relationships, in ways of thinking and feeling, in behaviors that don't serve us. I work to help people identify ineffective patterns, explore the issues that trouble them, and deal with the unexpected challenges that inevitably arise in life. This work involves exploration of the past, identifying where relationships and experiences overwhelmed us, exceeded our ability to cope and resulted in the creation of unhelpful beliefs and behaviors. Untangling, reframing and updating these patterns leads to a greater sense of harmony both internally and in relationship to others.

Hi - I am so glad you are here, reading my profile. You are researching ways to process the stuff of life. Your life.

Are you asking ‘why do I keep ending up here?’ and feeling exhausted from holding everything together? I’ve observed that revelation (or simply relief) doesn’t come from insight alone, but from the experience of being deeply met. As a therapist, I hold silence and rage with equal reverence. I welcome grief and contradiction. In our work together, we’ll listen for the feelings beneath the stories you tell about your life - the emotion beneath the narrative, and sometimes the emotion beneath that emotion. I work primarily with women and couples who are asking difficult questions about their lives and relationships.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. As humans, we all struggle with coping sometimes. Coping could be more challenging because of chronic illness, pain, neurodiversity, anxiety, and depression. My fellow zebras may be familiar with the saying coined by Theodore Woodward, “When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras,” which is commonly taught to doctors. This saying often results in individuals feeling invalidated and questioning their symptoms. Invalidation and lack of support can leave individuals feeling isolated. As a therapist, I aim to assist my clients with building coping mechanisms and providing emotional support.
