Life is hard. Relationships are messy. Trauma from the past may live within us, and trauma from the present is all around us. You deserve a compassionate space for processing these realities and learning new skills to repair and deepen your important relationships and live a better life. In my 20 years of providing therapy, I have witnessed and been inspired by the overcoming of great suffering and the transformation of people’s relationships to themselves and others. I am grateful to have supported them in their process and welcome the opportunity to be a part of your story of self-discovery, healing, and growth.
I specialize in trauma and stress, relationships, and couples therapy and have advanced certification in evidence-based therapies, including ACT, IBCT, EMDR, and RLT. I creatively tailor validated techniques to empower you to reduce psychological suffering and create a rich and meaningful life.
I bring warmth, curiosity, honesty, cultural sensitivity, and a touch of humor to foster an authentic, collaborative space for exploration and healing. I provide individual and couples therapy for a range of concerns that may arise from stressful transitions or circumstances, including parenthood, work, the reproductive journey, and world events.
