I see youth, teens, adults, and partners, and I have a particular passion for work with emerging adults and individuals who identify as Neurodivergent. I focus on a wide range of issues including identity exploration, self-esteem, navigation of relationship dynamics, anxiety, professional growth, and decisions centered around having children and parenting. I find great joy in supporting my clients to cultivate a better understanding of their emotional experiences in the pursuit of greater fulfillment and connection.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides insight-oriented psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. My emphasis on relational work examines early childhood relationships and ongoing relational patterns as a means of understanding one's own wellbeing and the narratives they carry. I aim to create a space for connecting with others through deep self-reflection, profound emotional attunement, and curiosity. I conceptualize my patients’ experiences primarily through a psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and attachment lens, while highlighting one’s own social location as unseparated from their individual psyche.

I often work with adults who are struggling with self-esteem, boundaries, relationships and who may identify as sensitive.
Do you struggle with negative self-talk, confidence, difficult emotions or interpersonal relationships? Are you a parent whose child struggles with anxiety, intense emotions or behavioral issues and you're ready to seek help for them (and you)? If any of these are true, I may be able to help. I work with individual adults, as well as with children (and their parents) who are struggling with these issues. I can help you explore patterns, process difficult emotions and traumatic experiences, learn new skills, develop better communication and build healthier relationships.

I work with folks in the intersection of being neurodivergent, BIPOC and queer to navigate the oppressive structures that prevent us from expressing ourselves authentically. Together we can process intergenerational trauma to truly meet your needs. My areas of focus include conscious parenting, eating disorders, and postpartum/perinatal mental health. In our therapeutic relationship, genuine, empathetic care and connection come first. I understand that healing is not only individual but also systemic.

Therapy is a deeply personal experience and there are as many reasons to seek therapy as there are people who seek it. Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or shame. You may have suffered traumas or losses and are wondering how these shape your thoughts, feelings and relationships. Maybe you simply have a sense that aspects of your life are not coming together in the ways you desire. Therapy is a space to explore these curiosities, to develop insight into your self, and, ultimately, to find greater fulfillment in your work, relationships, and play.

I meet people where they are at in their story. My goal is to walk along side people to discover their own resources for healing. I listen deeply. I bring a non judgmental presence that creates a safe place to talk about who they are, where they have been, and where they want to be. I am able to balance empathy with constructive challenge. I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages that struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss and family dynamics.

For many years I have helped individuals couples and families overcome obstacles to happiness and fulfillment in their lives. In the past I have practiced extensively with couples, families and with school aged and adolescent individuals. Currently and in the past few years my focus has shifted to working mainly with individuals going through transitions, loss, anxiety and depression. In recent years my interest and training have extended to dealing with individuals who have suffered past and more recent trauma.
