Do you want to better understand yourself and your relationship patterns? Are you a parent wanting to make sense of your child’s behavior? Has your life been impacted by foster care or adoption? Over the past thirty years I’ve helped a variety of adults, children, adolescents and families work through major challenges including anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, trauma, grief and parenting. I offer connection and support to help you explore the patterns and protective strategies you’ve developed up to this point. Together, with compassion and curiosity, we will address your internal struggles and emotional pain.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Theraplay are the primary modalities that inform my practice. As a Level 2-trained IFS practitioner, I bring a ‘parts’ perspective to working with adults, adolescents and children. As a certified Theraplay therapist, I help parents to deepen their understanding of and improve their connection and attachment with their child.
I became a therapist to better understand myself and the world around me. My innate curiosity and compassion have always informed my varied professional journey. While I don’t have answers to all of life’s complicated questions, I have learned a thing or two, including about how to get better at understanding, embracing and enjoying the mess of human life.
