About My Clients

People I see are longing for freer, happier, and less painful lives and relationships. And very often they start out feeling stuck or overwhelmed in the face of emotional pain, anxiety, or hopelessness. Everyone needs to be seen and understood in a deep way. This allows us to shine some light on what feels broken and scary, allowing healing and transformation, with care and compassion..

My Background and Approach

I work in an emotionally attuned an friendly manner. I am very present and helping you to connect with what's present inside of you. Often, this requires healing painful feelings about yourself and tending to old hurts. I work to make a safe space where you can have the right to really be you and to help you let go of what has no longer been serving you, either as an individual or a couple. I have been as a psychotherapist for about a decade, and working therapeutically with others throughout my adult life. I have my foundations in experiential psychotherapy, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I have also led social justice groups and worked with couples and families through high-conflict scenarios.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

We all have the innate tendency to heal in the presence of a skillful and trusted other. Tuning in to ourselves and each other, we can find the way back to our selves.
