Choosing a psychotherapist can be a challenging process and we often find ourselves doing it when we are already stressed. I strive to create a tranquil, accepting atmosphere in my work, while my patients also say they enjoy the laughter that we can sometimes find in the midst of our explorations. My approach focuses on identifying patients' existing strengths and increasing their capacities to cope with stress so as to lead more satisfying lives. I take a "best-tool-for-the-job," integrative approach, drawing from a range of psychotherapeutic orientations, all supported by solid science.

My approach to psychotherapy is holistic and feminist. I believe that mind, body, spirit, community, culture, and institutions are all essentially interwoven into the issues that we face. I don’t think that anyone is broken, and I don’t think that therapy is about fixing yourself. Instead, I believe that people get stuck in undesirable patterns, and therapy is an opportunity to discover new, flexible approaches to outdated ways of relating with ourselves and others. At this time, I am available for working individually with adults, particularly those suffering from depression, anxiety, and trauma-related issues.

Sometimes, core parts of who we are fall outside of what is considered normal or acceptable. It can feel impossible to understand yourself. You might feel invisible or wonder if you’re really the problem. You know that hiding these parts of yourself doesn’t feel right and isn’t sustainable. At the same time, you question whether it’s worth all the pain that might come from fully exploring and expressing yourself without hiding your identity, isolating from others, or masking. You may already have a strong sense of your identity and know what would help but feel that it's not accessible or possible.

Life comes in waves. We all have our stressful moments and difficult situations but, at times, our ability to ride the waves falters. Maybe you are noticing that you haven’t been feeling your best recently or even for a long time now. You may be noticing your relationships with others beginning to become strained. Or you may have lost someone important in your life and found yourself struggling to cope. Sometimes it might feel as though you’re alone with your struggles or that people do not truly see you.

Each of us is a unique constellation of experiences, values, identities and needs and my work aims to embrace and empower that. To thrive we need all parts of ourselves to be affirmed and nurtured. Each individual is the expert in themself; people’s insight into their identities and values guides our work together. We have each fought to gain wisdom about ourselves and skills to care for ourselves; I hope to empower people to apply that wisdom and grow those skills so they can live the life they want to live.

Painful experiences impact us throughout our lives, harming our sense of self and changing our life paths.

You deserve to heal, and step into a future where you feel resilient, empowered, peaceful and accepted as you are.

We often go about our lives with a very limited scope, moving from one problem to the next. As a therapist, I try to help people look at the big picture. When we zoom out and look at things… like where we’ve been, where we think we’re going, the people we carry with us, how we’re affected by time and our bodies changing, the systems we’re a part of, the ways we’re deeply interconnected… it helps us understand our current experience of the world. It brings our attention to what’s pulling us away from the good in the here and now.

Trauma, bipolar, personality disorders, addiction, grief, issues with coming of age: they are related sometimes but other times aren’t. Its like that second cousin that you struggle understanding how you are connected. Well I help you learn the connection and the eliminate it so its not feeding on each other. I specialize and love treating those disorders because of the massive transformations I see in people’s lives. It’s one thing to help you feel understood and validated, but it’s another to witness a complete transformation in how you feel about life. That’s exactly what I aim to do.
