If you’re feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by grief, trauma, or relationship stress, you don’t have to face it by yourself. I will work with you and support you. My clients often come to me feeling disconnected, unsure how to move forward. They long for peace and happiness. Therapy can be scary. Opening up to a complete stranger and entrusting her with your secrets and fears takes a lot of courage. I will be there with you, stand by your side and help you uncover your hidden strengths.
In our sessions, I listen intently to what is being said, and what is being hushed over. I will gently probe and inquire, paying attention to signs of discomfort and stress. I give feedback, and will help you develop insight and awareness into your problems. And you will learn new ways to deal with life's ups and downs.
Each person is unique, and so is the way I work. I support individuals and couples using a collaborative, personalized approach. I focus on communication, the mind-body connection, and trauma informed treatment. Let’s talk about what you need—reach out for a consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

I work with clients who are struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients experience a lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

In our first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and begin to understand how early relationships and past experiences may be shaping your presence. I use a psychodynamic, attachment-informed framework grounded in empathy and collaboration. These are the treatment types I use, and this is what your experience will be like: a supportive, engaged space where your voice is heard.
