I have extensive experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, impacts of past trauma, grief, and major life transitions, including empty-nesting, menopause, and career changes. My clients often want to deepen their self-awareness, understand how the past impacts the present, and find ways of living with more meaning and contentment. I enjoy supporting people who might identify as “late bloomers” and are exploring deeper life questions about purpose and choice. Therapy with me often includes greater access to creative self-expression and finding ways of living with more authenticity and satisfaction.
My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. A love of literature informs my approach to therapy, and pairs powerfully with my professional training in Existential Psychology. I am committed to cultural sensitivity and social justice perspectives, recognizing that each person is uniquely shaped by rich layers of social influence.
Choosing the right therapist for you is essential. If you feel drawn to work with me, schedule a first session or a phone consultation to see if we are likely to be a good fit. For those feeling stuck in old patterns and seeking substantial, sustainable progress, I recommend weekly sessions. I look forward to welcoming you when you're ready to begin.
