I draw from Trauma-Informed practices and Evidence-Based techniques including Emotionally Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
I support individuals and couples who are interested in practicing vulnerability, deep listening, reflection and generative communication. I offer clients space to safely explore their trauma, identify the ways it shows up and the ways they want to heal. I integrate somatic techniques throughout and can assist couples in learning to coregulate.

You may feel worn down by anxiety, past or birth trauma, and the nonstop emotional and physical demands of motherhood. Your thoughts may spiral, your body feels on edge, and rest can feel out of reach during pregnancy or postpartum. You might be holding so much while also navigating relationship stress that leaves you feeling lonely or unseen. You are not failing and you are not alone. I offer a supportive space to help you gently process trauma, calm anxiety, and reconnect with yourself and your relationships so you can feel steadier, more present, and more like you again.

Therapy is not always easy. But that doesn't mean it is without joy. In therapy, we get to come to an appreciation of both joy and sorrow that are the consequences of living a fully human life. Through appropriate challenge and support, we are able to expand the range of our humanity and our participation in the world.

People's reasons for seeking therapy are as varied as the individuals themselves. For some, therapy is part of a broader approach to life in which insight and inner work are seen as core elements to living well and expansively. For others, the step to seek therapy is taken out of pain and suffering and after much deliberation. At times our internal experiences are so painful, they prevent us from fully engaging in our lives and relationships. Therapy can help you learn to hold with care and confidence all your thoughts, feelings and memories while moving through life in a meaningful way.
