Welcome! I enjoy working with folks who are looking to journey inward and want to extend that awareness and understanding to relationships. I work with individuals and couples who are wanting to live a richer and less restricted life navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma. I also have a special interest in supporting people navigating all transitions of parenthood and the perinatal period: fertility, pregnancy, abortion, miscarriage, birth and postpartum.
I approach therapy from a relational/depth psychodynamic lens that prioritizes the therapeutic relationship, allowing us to work with your habitual patterns clearly.
The symptoms and struggles you experience are meaningful, and our work together will be holistic and depth-oriented. I also use a variety of gentle and effective healing-oriented approaches including EMDR and parts work that involve strengthening your internal resources to manage distress and create lasting change.
I hold space for your own process of self discovery in a way that enables you to go beyond the surface of what is troubling you. Through our work together, we will build a bigger repertoire for you to deal with your internal conflicts to live a more free and enriching life.
