We all have had times when we find ourselves contemplating our understanding of life and whether our life has progressed on the path that we had envisioned. We may be experiencing states of grief, self-doubt, and worry about ourselves, our relationships, or the condition of the world in general. It can often feel frustrating and overwhelming to accept this experience and we can find ourselves asking, "What did I ever do to deserve this; why me and why now?" These are often the scenarios when we require support and a new perspective with which to consider life's challenges.

I draw from both talk and somatic therapies, including narrative, Internal Family Systems and mindfulness based principles.

My role as a psychotherapist is to help you lead a more fulfilling life with both yourself and with those around you. I guide clients to resolve long standing, repetitive conflict cycles using a variety of approaches tailored to each person's needs. Our issues are often rooted in a place that exists beyond words. The work we do will increase your awareness of that place, build empathy, intimacy, and a sense of wholeness with yourself. The work is a collaborative exploration. I am licensed in California and Vermont and see clients in either location. I provide you a superbill so you can be reimbursed from insurance.

In my experience, individuals reach out for therapy because their present circumstance is difficult and they would like their present and future to be better or different. I use a person centered approach to help individuals gain greater awareness into their patterns and beliefs with the goal of creating a life grounded in wholeness, self compassion and self understanding. I have a depth of knowledge in trauma symptomatology, treatment and healing gleaned from years working with survivors of childhood and adult abuse. I also have experience with young adults pursuing educational/life goals and coping with these challenges.

Our traumas live in our bodies. For many of us, talking about our challenges is not enough. My integrative somatic approach combines counseling and touch, working on a massage table. Rosen Method Bodywork grows our awareness of how and what we are holding. Muscle tension reveals how we have adapted around painful memories, emotions, and beliefs. Tension in the body has helped us cope, but now may limit our breath, relationships, and our full sense of aliveness. As the unconscious becomes conscious, memories and emotions often arise for us to be with and explore.

Waitlist for new clients
The most important element in therapy is creating a safe and empowering relationship. There are many barriers to seeking support and I believe it is my job to break those down. I encourage prospective clients to ask questions and develop trust in whatever way feels right to them. My background in social work has taught me to look at each individual as part of a larger picture, and to work with each individual from a place of empowerment and strength.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with a master's degree in the field and I have extensive experience working with people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression substance use challenges and much more.
My philosophy is grounded in the belief that as humans, we have the ability to change behaviors, beliefs, and mis-information that we've picked up along the way. My job is to identify patterns or beliefs that keep you from who you want to become or how you want to feel. Therapy is a place to break free from those limiting patterns and create new, healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

Our thoughts and feelings color our lives; if you want changes, start with your mind. Small changes in your thoughts can lead to big changes in your life. I help people with matters like anxiety, anger management, addictions, narcissistic relationship-rehab, neuroscience-based wellness support, existential crises, insomnia, grief, depression, and boundary setting support. The 'active ingredient' in therapy is the relationship between a client and their therapist. Therapy is a gift to the self; it's a moment in our busy week focused solely on us; a safe place to be real, to unpack, and to ultimately grow.
