Are you looking for someone engaged, warm and conversational to talk to in an easygoing, safe space? Let's chat. It takes courage to share a story involving trauma and abuse, whether it's your first time in therapy or your twenty-first. Have you found yourself looking to better understand your triggers? Do you suspect you're ready for a life transition, and would enjoy having someone in your corner? Perhaps you’ve achieved goals related to wealth or success, and want a consistent ally who can both encourage and gently challenge. When old strategies no longer work, I'm here to help you develop something new and effective.
I’m a non-judgmental, relaxed psychotherapist dedicated to supporting those impacted by stress, depression, abuse, environmental difficulties and trauma. I use a personalized mix of EMDR, talk therapy, CBT and creative arts therapies. Whether you are first identifying your needs, or re-evaluating your “go-to” responses, I am committed to our collaboration.
However your difficulties manifest—self-sabotage; procrastination; perfectionism; voices or visions; depression; anxiety—I’m here for it. The support I provide is open and allows room for a sense of humor! You deserve a consistent and caring ally to help you recognize patterns, grow and attain a life of increased ease. Take a breath, and reach out.

I often work with those struggling with trauma as it relates to life transitions (academic endeavors, romantic partnering, family building, career/financial growth). We will begin moving at a pace that feels safe, and collaborate to create a personalized game plan that empowers. Most of my clients report a gradual reduction in symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

We will begin by discussing the reasons you've entered therapy, and any goals you have identified. I then tailor our work to your evolving needs and preferences. My work incorporates EMDR, Creative Arts Therapy, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and Psychoanalysis. We'll identify beliefs and behaviors that hold you back, and transform them into strengths that ease your struggles and set you up for success.
