Children, adolescents, and adults make up my practice.
I find every person who seeks my care unique, interesting and with a compelling story to tell. This creates a context and feeling of deep commitment within me for their well-being.

While I enjoy working with many different types of people, my ideal client is someone who is open to exploration and can view therapy as a journey and a process, rather than quick fix. I work best with someone who can see me as a support and can partner in uncovering solutions that work best for them, rather than looking to me for total direction. I have helped individuals in successfully transitioning to the next level in their lives, increase motivation and self-esteem to improve relationships and sense of self worth, and have helped individuals establish the identity that they desire.

I specialize in therapy for kids (7+), teens, and adults facing concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD, childhood trauma, disordered eating, and chronic illness.
I believe so much healing comes from a strong relationship with a therapist- my priority is building a safe, trusting space. I often use a mix of evidence-based treatments including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused CBT, EMDR, DBT, ACT, and somatic-focused interventions. With kids, I also use sand tray and play therapy.

It seems to me that at the core of what we want is to know we are loved and deeply known. We want connection and peace with ourselves, family members, partners, and friends.

I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults and couples. I also have experience working with blended families, infidelity, separation, and sexual concerns. I am only available to meet clients online.

If you're looking for a therapist who's welcoming, supportive, and encouraging, I'd love to work with you. I've had the privilege of supporting clients from ages 4-80, both in the UK and US, and I'm committed to creating a safe, welcoming space, whether we meet in person or virtually.
I appreciate that starting therapy can be overwhelming, and that is why I focus on building a trusting relationship with each person I work with. Together, we'll work at your pace, towards your goals, in a way that feels authentic and supportive.

Do you feel overwhelmed, weighed down and stuck in place at times, like you know what you should do, but don’t have the motivation to make it happen? This is the effect ADHD, depression, anxiety and trauma can have on people, and you’re not alone. As your therapist, my goal is to make you feel heard and understood. Together, we will address your concerns by understanding how your thoughts, emotions, and physical health effect one another. We will seek to understand the underlying source of your symptoms and discover coping mechanisms that work for you through exploring your strengths, interests and support systems.

As a parent, you want your child to be happy and successful.

I have more than 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families.
I have worked extensively with individuals, families and groups addressing issues related to depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse. I am awed at the resiliency that clients show in the face of crisis and conflict and how they emerge as stronger and healthier after treatment.

I am passionate about helping people process childhood and family trauma, develop mindfulness skills to cope with anxiety, panic attacks, and depression, and navigate challenges in the process of exploring sexuality, gender, non-monogamy, and coming out.
My primary focus is to support clients in addressing the practical (here-and-now) issues in order to dive deeper into their roots (e.g., trauma, attachment wounds, identity). Practices that are central to my approach include identifying your values, practicing self-compassion, and regaining a sense of autonomy so you can get back to living your life.

Life can present us with unexpected challenges—whether through trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, or significant life transitions. These experiences can leave individuals feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or disconnected. What is often overlooked, however, is that healing is not only possible but also permissible. We are allowed to heal and to cultivate balance, stability, and meaning in our lives. My role is to provide a supportive and collaborative environment in which you can explore your experiences, identify patterns, and develop strategies for growth and healing. I am here to assist you along that journey.

If you’re grieving, chances are that you’ve had one of these gems hurled at you: “They’re in a better place,” “At least she’s not suffering anymore,” “It was his time.” Sure, people might mean well when they make these statements, but they simply do not help. Instead, they leave us feeling even more isolated and misunderstood. Our grief-averse culture wants a “quick-fix” and for people to go back to how they were before a loss. Grief is treated like a problem to be solved, when in fact, it’s a natural response to loss.
