I work with families to uncover the patterns and obstacles that prevent them from feeling full connection and safety with one another. We work together to identify places of hurt and vulnerability and to find paths towards healing in relationship. I also support children, teens, adults, romantic partners, and families dealing with trauma, shame, grief and loss, relationship issues, systemic oppression, attachment ruptures, and parenting/caregiving challenges.
My therapeutic style is rooted in deep empathy, respect, collaboration, and humor. In my clinical work I draw from Attachment Theory, Structural Family Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Please feel free to contact me to schedule a free consultation. This provides the opportunity for you to ask any questions you have about working with me, and to share your hopes and goals for therapy if you would like.
