I offer trauma-focused psychotherapy and EMDR for adults. I have years of experience working with people suffering from anxiety or depression, struggling in relationships, feeling a low sense of self-worth, or grappling with the effects of trauma. My work centers on helping people expand their understanding of their inner world and the impact it has on themselves and their relationships. I want to help you understand why you feel what you feel and how these emotional patterns operate behind the scenes. In addition to these areas of work, I have a special focus on chronic illness, which is its own emotional landscape.
When you can see yourself more clearly, change not only becomes possible but far less overwhelming. My approach is warm and flexible, and in this space you are accepted for exactly who you are. Sessions are unstructured and shaped by what feels most important in the moment, whether it's a current struggle or something rooted in your past.
We will also attend not only to events in your life but also to what unfolds in the relationship between you and me, revealing relational feelings and patterns as they come up in real time. I invite you to bring your whole, imperfect self to session, as I strive to do the same.

I use a person-centered psychodynamic approach, which means that sessions are unstructured and naturally follow what feels most present for you that day. Rather than following a set agenda, we focus on your thoughts, emotions, and experiences as they come up, including what happens between us, so you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and how you show up in your life and your relationships.
