I am currently only accepting Intensive EMDR clients over the summer, and I specifically hold places in my schedule for college and high school students wishing to recover from sexual assault prior to returning to school. These intensives generally include three or four two hour sessions completed over several weeks or a weekend depending on mutual availability. EMDR can be incredibly helpful in recovering from sexual assault. I would love to talk to you about whether EMDR would be a good fit for you or your child. Please see my website for more information.

I work with adolescents and young adults who struggle with symptoms of anxiety, depression, difficulty coping with life transitions, problems with peers and a variety of school-related issues that interfere with functioning as their best selves.

I believe good psychotherapy can simultaneously alleviate distress while also cultivating joy, creativity, and fulfillment for oneself and others. My approach to therapy helps people remain deeply connected to themselves in order to more skillfully navigate relationship challenges, life transitions, and other difficulties. Flexible and collaborative, my approach brings attention to the emotional, physical, spiritual, and cultural aspects of healing and growth. I work well with people who are looking for both support and challenge and people who are seeking more ease in the face of difficulty.
