My role as a psychotherapist is to accompany people on their courageous journeys of healing, discovery, and self-expression. I enjoy working with individuals who are curious and inspired to take their inner work seriously. I believe that the narratives we tell about ourselves hold tremendous power and that, through our work together, we can become more conscious of how these stories shape our lives in order to find opportunities for new understanding and meaning making. As a depth psychotherapist, I have reverence for the wisdom of psyche, the unconscious, to help guide us to explore parts of ourselves in order to become more whole.
Areas of special interest include: artists and creatives, men and intimacy, families navigating trauma or divorce, teenagers experiencing bullying, women exploring body image, couples seeking to deepen their relationships. I also have extensive experience working with those with substance use disorder, dual diagnosis, infertility, and leading groups.
In addition to working as a psychotherapist, I am a practicing artist and have a background as a creative entrepreneur. My eclectic spiritual background, which involves Catholicism, Judaism, and Hinduism, guides me to view the ancient human experience and the realities of our modern world through a mystical, philosophical, and alchemical lens.

Groups
Expressive Arts Process Group for Adults

In this group clients explore their inner and outer worlds through creative practices such as writing and art therapy. Integrating a trauma-informed approach using somatic mindfulness and self-expression, clients are encouraged to connect with and process their feelings and experiences. Moving from everyday expectations into the realm of imagination and creativity, we access deeper parts of ourselves and experience the accomplishment of art making.
