Would you like to feel more fully alive and able to handle life's many challenges? I integrate talk therapy and Somatic Experiencing, a body focused psychotherapy designed to help if you have experienced chronic stress or trauma. Sleep problems, anxiety, feeling constantly on guard, depression, emotional numbness, and chronic pain are some of the symptoms that respond well to this integrative approach. I use a holistic, eclectic approach tailored to your needs, with your input.

Tutoring targets specific content area concerns, while educational therapy seeks to equip students with the skills, strategies, and tools they need in all stages of their academic journey. In my practice of educational therapy, I support students with complex learning profiles, school-based anxiety, executive function deficits, and low academic confidence. I provide an inviting space that welcomes my clients to explore their learning style with a spirit of curiosity and nonjudgment that encourages self-awareness and discovery.

Things at home are more stressful than ever—trying to find balance in the midst of endless demands is overwhelming. You are doing your best, but the whole house feels on edge, especially you and your partner. Certain pre-existing relational dynamics are now magnified and there’s a storm brewing inside of you. You're feeling angry, resentful and unsupported. You know you play a part in this dance, you’re ready to roll up your sleeves to right this ship, but can’t do it alone anymore. There's a part of you that knows you could be better and another part that is so lost. You need some clarity and guidance.

For most clients, my therapeutic philosophy is "less is more." In my work with adults and children, my goal is to help clients get back on their feet as quickly as possible, and then be available when they want to "check in."
In my previous career, I worked for a Boston-based asset management firm. That experience helps me appreciate the uniqueness of women making life transitions, and relate to men who typically would "never go to therapy."

I am very passionate and devoted to helping adults, adolescents and families find a peaceful and empowering path to a greater quality of life. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior and Trauma Therapy.

I believe in treating the whole person (mind, body, soul) and the importance of understanding the messages we receive from our body, function of emotions and thoughts.
