About My Clients

If you are living with anxiety, depression, unproductive anger, the impact of trauma, or relationship struggles--including parenting neurodiverse or gender-questioning children, I welcome you. I provide a safe, compassionate, emotionally attuned space so you can feel supported as we explore what brings you into therapy. Whatever your struggle, I believe it is possible to navigate pain, gain strength, and experience greater fulfillment.

My Background and Approach

I interweave interpersonal neurobiology with somatic-based and experiential interventions to help you learn to identify your emotions, increase your ability to feel difficult feelings, identify how your thoughts are connected to your feelings, and how they both inform your actions. I enjoy working with couples and individuals who want a richer emotional life. I am trauma informed and EMDR trained. AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) is a major influence in the way I work and I am continuing my Level 1 training. I have trained in Gottman, IPNB, and SE.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe healing occurs in relationships and my role as a therapist is to help my clients discover and uncover how to build healthy, healing relationships; ones that allow them to flourish in connection with others while staying in connection with their authentic self. Humor, curiosity, acceptance, compassion and collaboration underpin my work.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
