You may identify as "highly sensitive" or feel "misunderstood" by those around you. You may not have a clear idea how to address the distress in your life. You may feel confused or exasperated by clashes you are experiencing in relationships. Maybe you are facing a life transition, including but not limited to: a move to a new place, a new or worsening illness, work problems, spiritual questioning, transitions into the workforce or retirement. Regardless, painful feelings such as longing, numbness or despair make it hard to step into your life. You are ready and open for a new collaboration in this "laboratory" of therapy. Welcome.
I strive to offer a safe and creative space to consider and recalibrate your relationship to the beliefs and influences that shape your experience in the world. I bring heart, sincerity and humility to my work and have a track record of exceptional retention with my clients, as I'm able to meet clients where they're at, as we chart a path forward.
We learn in therapy to gather our awareness and acknowledge our feelings. We become more comfortable listening to our intuition and expressing ourselves in surprising ways. While I consider the theories behind my work, I hold them lightly in the room, believing most fundamentally in the importance of an adaptive, culturally-sensitive stance with my clients.

The competing demands of modern life, with all of their contradictory pushes and pulls and ruptures often contribute to painful confusion and disconnection. But just as trauma occurs where we are unable to stay present with the horror of an experience, it can heal with presence and attention, as you learn to trust yourself again and build capacity to tolerate uncertainty and change.

I employ an eclectic therapeutic approach informed by mindfulness, somatic and CBT approaches but grounded in relational psychodynamic theory which posits that 1) there is much occurring beneath the surface of our lives that can rise to conscious awareness and 2) that trauma occurs in relationships and can heal, with care and attention, in conscious relationships.
