People arrive at Jungian analysis for a variety of reasons, a life difficulty, trauma, crossroads, challenges with human relationships, curiosity around dreams and creativity, or a hunger to learn and explore Jungian topics. Jungian work is about reclaiming one's narrative, through integration of unconscious and conscious aspects of the self. This work can help a person feel more authentic, balanced and whole (the Jungian concept of individuation) or 'living life to one's own truest state'.
I support a broad range of clients and work with people across the United States and Europe, with ages ranging from the 20s to 80s.

I work with adults and couples using evidence-based work to support folks. My special interest is in working with young adults who have experienced complex trauma, CSA, and attachment wounds. I am trained to think systemically and look at the big picture, so often my work is long-term, challenging what is stagnant. I am client-centered, attachment-based, and trauma-informed. I am trained in EMDR. With couples, I utilize EFT to help the couple move towards secure attachment and positive communication. My work reflects a culturally sensitive approach, and I emphasize non-judgement and curiosity in the space we share.

For most people, strong relationships are an important indicator of health and well-being. When we feel stuck in old patterns that no longer serve us, our connection to others suffers too, which can turn up as depression, anxiety, or simply feeling alone and disconnected. By reconnecting with our essential gifts and strengths through the therapy process, we in turn can offer more to family, friends, and community.

People have an unlimited capacity for growth and change. People come to therapy for a wide range of reasons. My role as a therapist is to assist you in working towards your goals by offering support, validation, as well as practical tools that will assist you in working towards achieving those goals. Most of my training and experience has been in working with individuals who have experienced trauma. What I have learned in each of the practice settings that I have worked in is that each person is unique and requires a slightly different approach. I will routinely check in with you and shift our focus if needed in therapy.

I work with individuals facing the challenges of parenthood, including parents who are grieving (possibly while caring for a grieving child), and/or those who are navigating the experience of caring for a child with complex social/medical needs.
In my work, I've developed a humanist and relational approach, and my goal is to provide a safe and nonjudgemental space. Pulling from a variety of modalities in my work, including ACT, CBT, family systems and mindfulness, my style is heavily informed by an attachment perspective and a steadfast belief that everyone holds an evolving story - one that is worthy of being told and honored.

So much of life is learning to deal with the cards we’ve been given. I love seeing people not only deal with the cards they’ve been given, but turn them into amazing card castles. I want to help those that seek to get unstuck grow toward their best selves, have great relationships and enjoy lives filled with joy. I like to use well-researched therapeutic techniques that have been proven to help people grow. In couples therapy that means drawing from the research of John Gottman. In family and individual therapy that means an integrative approach - utilizing practical therapeutic tools that help clients achieve their goals.

You might look fine on the outside—showing up, doing all the things—but inside, something feels off. Maybe it's a quiet disconnection, a loneliness you can’t name, or the sense you’ve had to mute parts of yourself just to be accepted. I work at the intersection of trauma and grief—especially when it shapes identity, disrupts belonging, or lives in the nervous system in ways that are hard to name but deeply felt.

Sometimes, we want to make changes but struggle with unknown parts of ourselves that seem to stop us. Habits, life long patterns and unconscious beliefs can hold us back from living the life that we long for. It takes time and courage to examine our belief system and reach out for what we really want. As a therapist, I follow the process of each individual. Clients are viewed on a spectrum of health, rather than through a lens of pathology. This approach creates a very curious and creative focus that encourages growth at the client’s own pace.

Knowing that it is usually an experience of pain or frustration that prompts people to seek counseling, my goal is to provide a safe place for you to effectively move through it. Often that pain comes from unmet needs, harmful experiences, or coping systems that no longer serve you. I want to work with you, to offer reflection, understanding, information, and new windows to help you experience relief and a sense of well being. Approaches include, but are not limited to, insight oriented talk therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, EFT, and Ego-state therapy, and are chosen on what would be most appropriate to your individual goals.

You don't have to go through difficult times alone. By seeking help, you have already taken the first step toward making positive life changes. The next step is finding the right person to guide, motivate and support you. I am a counselor with a healthy dose of optimism and realism. I love to work with my clients on problem solving, new skill building, and developing a greater understanding of themselves and the world around us. If you are looking for something "different" from your counselor, I may be a good fit.

Accepting new clients! I understand how hard it is to be a human and how our histories, relationships, and structural oppression impact our health and wellness. I am a firm believer that we grow throughout the lifespan and that it is never too late for change and recovery. I am particularly interested in working with folks struggling with identity (LGBTQIA+, white guilt, and major life changes which impact how we think about ourselves), depression and anxiety, trauma, and people who are embarking on the parenting journey.
