I work with adults who are in highly stressful professions but who are also often in need of being seen and understood as persons with identities outside of their professional roles. Many of my clients have hidden depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship stressors. I have over thirty five years of experience in helping individuals reach healthy solutions to their complex problems. I provide a safe place to explore the many facets of my clients' complex identities.

We will be a good fit if you’re looking for a therapist who is warm, supportive, and collaborative, yet not afraid to gently challenge you as needed.

You are the expert on your own life, and I’m here to help you explore, heal, and grow. My therapeutic approach is process- and emotion-focused, and I draw from Brainspotting, IFS, ACT, and CBT.

I love a good puzzle, and I specialize in people with complex presentations that need a unique blend of treatment techniques. I am an ideal fit for those who feel like they are stuck and have yet to find the help they are looking for. I take a transdiagnostic approach, meaning that I focus more on the pattern of symptoms than on one specific diagnosis. I see a wide range of presenting problems (including personality, mood, and anxiety disorders) and work to understand how all of the pieces of the puzzle fit together and how to best treat them. I will help you build a life worth living by investing in all the parts of you.

It is no secret that parenting is hard. When you add your child’s mental health and/or behavioral health needs into the mix it can add another level of complexity. Children and adolescents often have difficulty managing their emotional responses, have limited communication skills, and limited coping strategies; this can impact how they engage in the world around them. I would like to help your child feel more in control and confident to take on whatever the world hands them.

I believe everyone deserves a safe space to feel seen, heard, and supported — whether you’re an adult who’s carried too much for too long or a parent feeling stuck and overwhelmed by your child’s challenging behaviors.
