I believe in an eclectic and personalized approach to helping folks compassionately address their individual life challenges. I've worked with people who have experienced breast cancer, those who are processing the present-day consequences of invalidating childhood environments, individuals who’ve experienced intimate partner violence, people struggling with or recovering from alcohol use disorder, as well as those managing day-to-day anxieties and periods of depression. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I've helped my peers and allies explore identities, navigate relationships, etc.
I am a licensed social worker with fourteen years of clinical experience. While I draw upon various modalities, my approach is primarily insight-oriented psychodynamic psychotherapy, through a trauma-informed and strengths-based lens, and with emphases on attachment theory, mindfulness and polyvagal theory.
I have had the tremendous honor of being able to successfully provide support, guidance and nurturance to a wide range of people experiencing myriad iterations of pain, discomfort, suffering and despair. I consistently employ empathy, kindness and non-judgmental deep listening to help people to find and build fulfilling lives.

I work with clients struggling with a variety of stressors, including but not limited to: breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, society's response to non-normative sexual or gender identity, and/or difficulty navigating or ending relationships to alcohol. Some improvement can be expected early on, but feeling better can take time. If we're a good fit, I'm here for the journey.

I employ an eclectic mix of free-associative, insight-oriented, trauma-informed psychodynamic psychotherapy, strategically and selectively utilizing strategies from manualized modalities such DBT, IFS, CBT and MBSR, among others, within a talk therapy framework. I've found with my clients that a multifaceted, individually-tailored approach produces the most helpful and long-lasting outcomes.
