My commitment as a therapist is to provide a warm and affirming environment where clients can receive support metabolizing trauma and restore a sense of safety, trust, and authentic re-connection to themselves. Utilizing a psychodynamic approach that is nurturing, collaborative, and informed by an anti-oppressive framework, I work with clients to navigate the heartache of grief and loss, to explore how past relationship dynamics impact them in the present, to attend to ways of adapting that no longer serve them, and to learn new and alternative ways of relating.

Women (including trans and nonbinary individuals) face unique challenges across the lifespan, particularly during times of transition. Overwhelming emotions, irritability, anxiety, or low mood are all signs that a change is needed, quite possibly in the form of a skilled, compassionate therapist to help you navigate these experiences. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and perinatal mental health. I love working with college-aged folks (particularly the Brown University community) and couples as well.
