I believe it is important for clients to connect the mind and body. To facilitate this connection I help clients notice how their feelings express themselves internally. Over time, this noticing and naming increases self-compassion as well as the ability to regulate and respond effectively to one’s emotions. In addition, my past work as a writer and editor makes me particularly attuned to themes in client’s stories. Through exploring the creation of their narratives, clients better understand their unique strengths and vulnerabilities, as well as how to care for different parts of themselves.

Please note that at this time I am currently only accepting requests for supervision for clinicians looking to attain clinical licensure or interested in private supervision. My approach to therapy - A relationship built on trust and empathy is key to healing. I believe in providing a person-centered and non-judgmental therapeutic atmosphere that starts with building rapport. Many parts of our identity contribute to our perceptions and we’ll work together to identify those so you can have a personalized treatment. I believe in a culturally sensitive approach to both assessment and treatment is important.

The Corona Virus has wreaked havoc on our lives. While we have come a long way from the early days of the pandemic, fears of contracting the virus are still present.

Therapy is an opportunity for you to work on developing how "you want the next chapter of your life to read". I have over twenty years of experience in working with people to help them work through many different issues in their lives, both from their past and/or their present.

I work with individuals to create a positive plan to master these skills.

As we make our way through life, we are often forced to give up parts of ourselves in order to survive and belong. Many of our defenses, developed early on, may hinder our wholeness as adults while contributing to a sense of “stuckness.” I believe that we are innately wired for healing, and that provided with a safe environment our healing capacity is activated as we listen to, feel, and process our core emotions. Emotions carry our stories, and when not processed properly can lodge themselves in our bodies and manifest in various unhealthy ways.
