I am a clinical psychologist who find sacred purpose in helping clients navigate the complexity of relationships in all their suffering, beauty, and diversity. This includes the relationship to our self, which has often been wounded by other relationships-with family, partners, friends, colleagues, faith, and society. Since depression, anxiety, and PTSD often have roots in relationship distress, my work supports you to heal relational wounds, ease emotional pain, and repair trust in your self’s inner wisdom to create a dynamic, loving life that aligns with your truth. My therapy style is compassionate, creative, and trauma-informed. I blend psychodynamic, internal family systems, Jungian, mindfulness and liberation psychology approaches to help clients grappling with: childhood and relational traumas, self-esteem and identity concerns, intimacy and attachment issues, sexuality and spirituality concerns, life transitions, grief/loss, and shame from social norms/oppression. I have expertise doing individual and couples therapy with diverse communities and identities, including women of color, LGBTQ+/queer clients, and people in non-traditional relationships. If you seek a nonjudgmental, culturally-sensitive therapist to help you gain insight, relief, and self-trust on your healing journey, I’d be honored to work with you.
