Welcome. I know what it feels like to be lost inside yourself — and what it means to find your way back. I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and the particular weight of feeling different. I also work with parents trying to reach those same teenagers, adults moving through major life transitions, and couples finding their way back to each other.
My own journey through adolescence, career transitions, and motherhood shape the kind of clinician I am: someone who isn't afraid to face the difficult parts of life while also still bringing genuine warmth and presence into the room.
Grounded in psychodynamic and somatic approaches, I help clients deepen awareness of their emotional and embodied experience, inviting greater safety, coherence, and self-understanding into the room. Depth psychology, attachment theory, and parts work inform my approach, but curiosity and presence are what guide every session.
I believe we all need a space where we can slow down, feel deeply understood, and experience feeling more at home within ourselves. Feel free to reach out to schedule a complementary consultation, I look forward to connecting with you
