Do you appear to be holding things together on the outside but inside you feel anxious and overwhelmed? Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition. Or struggling with changes in your body. Or questioning your identity. Or finding that old ways of coping no longer serve you. Or… (fill in the blank). Many of my clients come to therapy while navigating big changes and with curiosity around what "it" all means. I specialize in supporting women and gender-expansive individuals from adolescence to midlife, perimenopause and beyond. My goal is to create a grounded space where you feel safe for all your parts to be truly seen.
Themes I work with include, but are not limited to, life transitions, body image concerns, identity & gender exploration, anxiety, burnout, nervous system dysregulation, and the emotional impact of living in a body within a system that isn't set up to support it. I also work with adolescents and couples navigating developmental and relationship transitions.
My approach is relational, holistic, and trauma- informed. I integrate psychodynamic therapy, somatic interventions, mindfulness, parts work, and EMDR. Therapy with me is collaborative, and together we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and supports meaningful change. Please reach out if you're curious to explore if working together might be a good fit.
