Welcome! I support clients of all ages with various concerns: ADHD, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, parenting, and grief/loss. With children, I employ art, sand tray and other forms of play. My approach is grounded in cognitive-behavioral, experiential, and somatic practices. We will work together to explore what brought you to therapy, and to help you reach your goals, so you can feel better as soon as possible.
I offer a safe and compassionate space for clients to process experiences, to reframe thoughts and behavior, and to build a deep sense of self-compassion and self-acceptance rooted in mindful attention to one's needs. To this end, I employ an eclectic approach rooted in various modalities, depending on the client, including DBT, CBT, AEDP and IFS.
Therapy can be an essential and life-altering part of the journey towards wholeness and healing. I would be honored to accompany you on your way. Please reach out for a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if we are a good fit.

CBT forms a foundation for my practice, as a means to look at the main beliefs and thoughts that are influencing emotions and experiences. ACT is also relevant, as it builds a sense of acceptance of the "ups and downs" of our thoughts and feelings, and provides useful grounding tools for coping with difficult experiences. Somatic and experiential practices also inform my approach.
