About

I’m a licensed psychologist who works with individuals, couples, and siblings. In the past 20 years, I’ve helped clients with a wide variety of issues, but I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma in their lives. I have a particular interest in supporting people who endured trauma or neglect as children, which can manifest in adulthood as difficulties with relationships, issues with self-worth, and feelings of responsibility for everyone and everything. I primarily approach counseling through an insight-oriented lens, attempting to help clients uncover core, underlying issues that can lead to true healing.

A collaborative, genuine client-therapist relationship is vital. My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and humorous—I want every client to feel safe to approach healing with me. I tailor my work to the individual and often combine the insight-based modality with cognitive and somatic work, as well as sensory regulation through the nervous system.

Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable is necessary to achieve healing. I invite you to ask as many questions as needed to help you determine if we might be a good fit. I work hard to create an affirming environment and welcome people of all identities, orientations, and nationalities.
