Maybe you've experienced a recent loss, are struggling to adjust to a new phase of life, or are working through conflict in your relationship.
I gravitate towards a Solution-Focused and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy approach. For couples, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I embrace a systemic perspective, meaning that I always consider relational, cultural, and environmental contexts.

I have worked extensively with depression, adjusting to motherhood, body image issues, grief, and parenting concerns and helping families create a new pattern of interaction.
Hope often sounds like a wishful word in our culture - but I want you to leave therapy with more hope - the gritty, scrappy, resilient kind. This authentic hope grows as you embrace your life story with all its darkness and light. You don't need to talk about everything at once, but just give yourself a place and time to connect with your whole self and pay attention to your life as it is now. As you connect deeply with yourself you are able to carve out space to reimagine how your life and relationships could be.

Healing is the tender art of becoming. It begins in the quiet spaces where we learn to listen: to our bodies, our stories, and the parts of us still reaching for light.

You don't have to go it alone, I am ready to walk with you as your witness and trainer on skills to help you heal and grow.

I might be the right therapist for you if you are facing life transitions, strong emotions, grief, anxiety, self-judgment, relationship problems or the effects of trauma.
My favorite work is helping people learn to surf the waves of their emotions. I use experiential, mindfulness-based approaches (e.g., Hakomi, Attachment-focused EMDR, Lifespan Integration). If you've done a lot of insight work about your area of concern, but want to add a somatic (body) and/or spiritual focus to therapy, I might be a good fit for you.

I have no ideal person who might consult me. I try hard to avoid placing people in theories. What matters is the relationship I will have with you. In collaboration, we formulate the therapy goals and how best to achieve them. Each person brings his/her own entrenched detrimental beliefs, that have blocked achieving such complex goals as satisfaction in love and in work. In therapy, I expect those beliefs to be tested. Where I intervene has more to do with fostering resilience, and with the challenging of fears/anxieties that often accompany the sense of incapacity and isolation.

Together we explore grief, anxiety, depression, identity related to a diagnosis, boundaries, establishing positive habits, and acknowledging how systems can impact their life.
Sometimes you find yourself stuck in situations where relief feels unreachable. If you could have found relief on your own, you probably wouldn't be endlessly scrolling here. The answer is often seeking outside expertise with mental health experience to co-create the relief you need. Together we can identify new perspectives and skills to facilitate the change you need. You aren't alone, greater connection is possible, and hope is possible through the work done together in therapy.

I work well with individuals who feel deeply but who perhaps find themselves lost in confusion, anxiety, overwhelm, and/or disconnection from their inner world. Who perhaps find themselves stuck in unsatisfying relational or emotional patterns, wanting something different but struggling to stretch into a new shape. Often these coiled places are rooted in protective wisdom, trying to keep one safe from some form of pain. My work is geared towards identifying stuck patterns, re-connecting to lost or unexpressed feeling, and building up safety and capacity to move towards what one desires.
