Being human is incredibly challenging, although the shape of those challenges is unique to all of us. Therapy is a collaborative process that can help us grow, become unstuck, relate to ourselves or others more deeply, feel more supported or self-aware, and/or help us with greater self-acceptance. 

My approach is integrative and strength-based, with a foundation in psychodynamic theory, which prioritizes deep listening and the early relationships that shape us. I have additional training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT).

I work with adults and teens experiencing depression, anxiety, the impacts of trauma, as well as relationship challenges, life transitions and grief, among other challenges. I enjoy supporting parents and working with couples. I also work with people experiencing or recovering from illness as well as their caregivers.

Curious, collaborative, compassionate, engaged.
