As human beings we often make sense of the world and our lived experience through creating stories. It's these narratives, some inherited, others created, many retold that help shape our lives. However, sometimes these scripts can be outdated making it challenging to move forward. Many of the people who come through my practice share the same experience of feeling stuck in patterns or what I have come to refer to as, “old tapes.” Together, we will welcome the many parts of yourself that you bring into the room, leaning especially into those that yearn to be seen such as those parts of us that carry shame, grief and painful burdens.
My work is guided by my belief in the healing power of laughter. My style of practicing is warm, attuned, curious and inquisitive. I operate with an eclectic orientation, weaving in a multitude of approaches with the client, you, centered in our work as a guide. I have a keen and personal interest in working with adoptees.
It is a courageous step to ask for help. It is a kind and brave act to reflect in order to make intentional shifts. Taking the time to find a psychotherapist that best fits your unique needs is incredibly important. To learn more and to see if we could be a good match for doing this work together, please email me to schedule a 15 minute consultation call.

My psychotherapeutic frame is deeply grounded in an attachment theory and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I believe that the ways we come to make sense of ourselves as well as the world around us are informed by the experiences which preceded. How we chose to be in relationship and with whom we chose to be in relationship with thread back to what came before.
