I specialize in unresolved trauma, relationship conflicts, anxiety, and depression with couples & individuals. I work with those seeking a profound, transformative change and are driven by a desire to heal past wounds, find emotional intimacy in relationships, and to feel comfort in their lives. I provide a safe and compassionate space to map and process the often-unbearable emotion that clients have been alone with. If you are seeking contemporary, integrative, experiential psychotherapy, & want an engaged therapist who won't sit back while you do all the work, then we may be a good fit! Please reach out for a free consultation.

As a therapist specializing in attachment & somatic-based experiential therapies, I offer a unique approach integrating Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, EMDR, and Transformative Couples Therapy. This highly engaged, relational method works to heal trauma, improve relationships, & achieve emotional well-being through deep, transformative work.

In addition to being a trauma-informed therapist, I understand the complexities of life's roles. Our identities as parents, children, spouses, etc. shape how we make sense of the world. Where our experiences align and differ, I am committed to help you navigate yours within your unique context. I invite you to visit my website to learn more about how I work.

I specialized in trauma-informed therapy, which essentially is a holistic approach that helps many people regardless if they identify as suffering from trauma or not. This approach invites consciousness to safely experience the body, emotion, cognition, spirit; and of being in relationship with a wounded or adaptive past self, or between a couple, or at times with me.
