Here to Help You Heal
Are you seeking to heal wounds from your past? Want to build healthier relationships in the present, or are looking for tools to help navigate future joys and grief? Are you in need of a mental health therapist experienced in working with adults ages 18 to 85, who is LGBTQIA+ aware and affirming? If so, you are in the right place.
I assist in processes of trauma healing, navigating life’s transitions and thresholds, building more sustainable relationships, and supporting the emergence of authentic desire and healthy impulses for vibrant living. Throughout our time together, I collaborate with you to identify and articulate your own emotions, needs, and desires, and to discover meaningful ways to live in the world. I value humor and a creative approach to feeling into what’s painful, and what needs care.
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, overwhelm, or PTSD, I can support you to soften and find resilience. If you are navigating big life transitions like divorce, marriage, children, moving, new career, or big changes, I can help in midwifing your path. Please, reach out today to get started.
My Approach to Care
Working with me, you will learn to safely explore blind spots, move through emotional highs and lows, and restore trust and self-confidence. I honor the fact that you are the expert on your own experience, and see my therapeutic role as a mirror to help you uncover patterns of “stuckness,” step into opportunities for growth, and celebrate success.
I aim to support you through an eclectic approach that is both flexible and tailored to your needs. My practice is relational, somatic, and process-oriented, drawing from Attachment Theory, Feminist Theory, Narrative Therapy, Humanism, and Nervous System Resourcing to better help you build safety. By learning to conceive what is both within and outside of one’s control, you experience a sense of empowerment by redefining outdated concepts, deepening acceptance, and focusing on what emotions are trying to teach you.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
More than 20 years of experience in psychodynamic training from Smith College, mindfulness and somatic practices, and social work training inform how I see mental health as shaped by systemic and institutional forces, cultural beliefs, and generational patterns. These perspective shape my practice now, where I am a direct, honest, warm, and skillful therapist dedicated to working with those struggling from grief/loss, anxiety, PTSD, C-PTSD, intergenerational and attachment trauma, major life transitions, body image, and spiritual emergence in mind-body practitioners. I am honored to be a therapist patients find to be spacious yet direct, clear, and loving.
Personal Interests
Outside the office, I am an avid mover and meditator, always keeping my body and mind active. I love cooking, meditating, expressing my creative side, and spending time outdoors.
