Whether you’re dealing with the chronic stress of relationships or parenting issues, difficulties adjusting to life changes, or simply feeling “stuck”, my goal is to help you better understand yourself and strengthen your ability to navigate challenges & work toward change.
My style is conversational & practical… with a bit of humor. I use an integrative approach that brings together knowledge of relational & developmental trauma, attachment, and interpersonal neurobiology to support to those who hope to experience relief and find new ways to connect & relate to self and others.
I work with individuals & parents who often feel overwhelmed as a result of experiencing chronic unpredictability, family conflict, unhealthy or antagonistic relationship patterns, complex trauma, neurodivergence, or feeling othered. It's important you feel comfortable & respected in therapy so I invite you to contact me to determine if we may be a good fit.
