I’m a clinical psychologist who believes deeply in guiding individuals toward a profound and more nuanced understanding of themselves in order to create lasting change.
As a seasoned clinician, I am skilled in the treatment of trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, academic concerns, and the transgenerational transmission of trauma. Treatment begins with a brief phone consultation followed by an in-depth intake session.
Using psychodynamic and somatic approaches, I assist in learning to attend to and be with emotional and bodily responses as they occur, building understanding, empathy and skills to help manage distress along the way. Together we will develop a strong collaborative relationship built on trust, safety and deep truth-telling.
