My experiences as a leadership coach and facilitator, birth doula, yoga teacher, family member, parent and friend all inform how I support people through life changes and challenges.
At times, all of us experience "lostness" - be it around our sense of self, a relationship, a death, or dreams of the past or future. As a culture, we have a hard time being with and navigating through loss and change. I believe they deserve attention. You may know exactly why you are seeking therapy, or something may just feel off. My role is to help you learn about yourself, your patterns, and your early survival strategies, working to restore and build connection with your emotions, your body, and what gives you meaning. I specialize in supporting people with attachment and relationship struggles, trauma, and death and dying.

I work with people on a wide array of issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, family building, identify formation, grief, and loss.
All of us create patterns of behavior in our formative years to help us survive real and perceived dangers. What are those patterns? How have those patterns restricted our lives today? My approach to therapy is interpersonal. I integrate elements of family systems theory, attachment theory, existential theory, and psychodynamic theory, among others in my work. I believe real change occurs through the collaborative, moment-to-moment interactions between therapist and client in a safe and compassionate space.

I have specific interest and training in the pregnancy and postpartum period, and early parenting.
I’ve found that patients often come to me during a time of transition. They are often grappling with separation, connection, and impactful decisions; and many set out to address issues of identity, family concerns, relationships, and careers. Therapy can be a process of both healing and growing. Together we can explore important aspects of your past, while working to improve your present. I foster warm and collaborative relationships, and aim for patients to feel understood, supported, and appropriately challenged. I approach each new therapy relationship with curiosity, flexibility, and openness.
