I provide therapy to adults experiencing difficulties, conflicts, or dissatisfaction. Together, we’ll identify what’s causing these problems by talking about your present, past, dreams, fears, strengths, creativity, and hopes. We’ll work to build a trusting alliance, look for patterns in your history, and try to make meaning out of them. My job is to listen attentively and without judgment; yours is to speak as freely as possible. The goal is to help you feel better.

I help individuals and couples to work through relationship distress, trauma, and life stressors. I also love to work with adoptees and attachment. Being in therapy takes courage, and it takes commitment to grow. While I meet my clients where they are, I have genuine care and concern for you and your family. I use a somatic whole-body and mind approach. I am curious and interested in you and your experiences. As you find the freedom and joy that comes from making lasting change, we will celebrate this together.

A deep connection between therapist and client is key to forming the trust necessary to overcome challenges in one's life. These blocks keep us from realizing our potential and can manifest in a variety of ways, from depression and anxiety, to relationship issues and job dissatisfaction. My approach to therapy is to use self understanding and awareness as a mechanism for change. Treatments could include psychoanalytic and psychodynamic techniques to access unconscious material or a more problem focused, short term approach depending on the issues at hand. I also work with Trauma using EMDR.

You may be looking through therapist profiles because something in your life is not feeling quite right or you have the sense that life can be better. It can be. We all have wisdom within us and a potential to change directions when the path we’re on is no longer working for us. I work with individual adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship and life transitions, grief and loss, and those recovering from traumatic experiences. My goal is to help you identify what is important to you, to look at patterns, to make sense of what’s not working (and what is) and ultimately, to help you live a richer life.

You hold yourself to high standards. You're thoughtful, driven, and always pushing to be better. And yet—no matter how much you accomplish—it never feels quite good enough. That voice in your head keeps moving the goalpost, whispering that you should be doing more or doing it better. It’s exhausting.

Did you take a DNA test and have a world shattering family surprise? I have experience with DNA surprises and the trauma, identity/genetic bewilderment, and family building/adaptation as a result of the surprise.

I work with people who want better relationships with others and better relationships with themselves. Couples, families, and individuals I see are bright, curious, motivated people who find their lives disrupted somehow - by the intrusion of traumatic experiences, life transitions, or persistent struggles with mental health that don't resolve on their own. I have a deep understanding of the unique therapy needs of therapists and doctors and their partners and families, and I enjoy working with folks anywhere on the gender and sexuality spectra. I also work with torture and war trauma survivors, refugees, and asylum seekers.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and have dedicated my work to helping others normalize their grief experience; allowing them them to grieve in a healthy way. In addition to grief and loss, I’ve guided many clients through ambiguous/living losses (life transitions such as divorce or becoming a new parent). There is no one right way to grieve or timeline for grief. Grief is not a problem to be solved. Grief is an ongoing process and often does not behave the way we expect or want it to-showing up in unexpected places and inconvenient times. Grief does not occur in isolation, though can be isolating.
