My approach is eclectic—though grounded psychodynamic (aka “Talk”) therapy, I blend several modalities into my work, including mindfulness, yoga, cognitive behavioral therapy, and attachment theory.
I work with ages 10+ who are experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, trauma, CPTSD/PTSD, and grief. I believe what we resist persists, so challenges are best overcome when faced directly with courage and compassion. True healing and change can take time and effort, and I believe deeply in the power of therapy to create a dynamic for growth and change—helping individuals create the selves and lives they hope to live.

I use a variety of techniques in session from motivational interviewing, CBT, EMDR, ACT, somatic therapy, and art therapy to assist you with improving your emotional wellbeing.
Clients usually approach me because they are overwhelmed with anxiety and stress, facing challenges affecting their relationships, career, and health. During sessions with me I will provide you with tools to assist with anxiety and stress management while providing support towards changing habits and behaviors that aren't working for you. I can also provide suggestions for managing relationships that have become a source of distress and support towards reaching goals that can improve your sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.
