When someone experiences trauma, the way they relate to others, and to themselves, can shift. I believe our relationships are at the heart of our well-being. Often, what goes unresolved in our past or childhood shows up in the patterns we find ourselves repeating in the present.
As a family therapist, I support individuals and families in gently exploring these experiences, helping them understand how their stories have shaped them while creating space for healing and change. My goal is to help clients move forward with greater clarity, connection, and a sense of possibility.

Hi :) My clients are curious about unlocking who they truly are, + rewriting their own narratives. My clients process and explore at their own pace, while being open to giving space for all parts of themselves to exist - knowing that the hurt and heavy parts of us, only bring us closer to our inner light. I find in sessions, my clients tend to be looking for new ways to support and show up for themselves when experiencing intense emotions, exploring a part of their identity or a new way of living/being, shedding old patterns + behaviors that are no longer feeling helpful, exploring safety and joy as achievable sensations + more

Thriving in families today is truly challenging. Family stress also tends to intensify during those sensitive periods of transition, especially where children are affected. My practice specializes in assisting parents navigate the complexities of divorce, coparenting, re-marriage, and the creation of stepfamilies. I also help families with adult children heal from estrangement, whether it is from a sibling or parent. When working with recently-divorced parents, I feel it is important to take a child-centered focus, where children are often caught in the middle of these adult battlegrounds.

Taking the first step to talk to a therapist can be overwhelming and frightening. It takes strength and courage, but it can be life changing. My goal is to create a safe, caring and nonjudgemental space for clients to be heard and understood. It is my privilege to work with individuals and couples to instill hope, empowerment, and support personal growth. Communicating feelings in a safe environment promotes healing through expression, which often leads to insight into self and more meaningful connections with others. Taking the first step is the most difficult step.

Trauma doesn’t always stay in the past. For some, experiences like childhood abuse, domestic violence, loss, or major life disruptions continue to show up—in the body, in reactions, or in moments that feel more intense than they should. You may find yourself wanting to move forward, yet feeling pulled back by anxiety, hypervigilance, or a sense that something still isn’t right. As painful as trauma can be, healing is possible. Our work focuses on helping you reconnect to the present so your mind and body can begin to recognize that you are no longer there.

As a Harvard trained psychologist, I work to use my education, experience, and passion for my profession to create a comfortable, caring enviroment for every individual I see.

I then work with individuals to discover and change aspects of their thinking that have become ineffective; thoughts that lead to debilitating negative emotions or destructive behaviors. In every session I work to foster the open dialog and mutual respect needed to ensure a productive therapeutic relationship.
