My training is based in trauma and its impact on the mind, body, and sense of self. I believe in the power of storytelling; in the stories that have shaped our lived experience, and the ways in which stories help us to make meaning of the world around us.

Therapy should feel like a place we go together, where you feel understood, supported, and deeply listened to. My practice is integrative and rooted in a psychodynamic framework, drawing from relational, mindfulness-based, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed approaches. In individual therapy, I help clients explore their histories, understand different parts of themselves, and move toward a more adaptive and fulfilling way of living. In couples therapy, I help partners deepen their understanding of one another, strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and navigate conflict with greater compassion and intention.

Much of life is a paradox, and within the therapeutic space, we build the capacity to manage opposing truths, and when needed, challenge the stories that inhibit us from feeling more fulfilled and connected to ourselves and others. Whether working with individuals or couples, I aim to create a space where meaningful insight can translate into lasting change and deeper connection.

A strong therapeutic fit is necessary for experiencing positive change and outcome in therapy. I am currently available for a no cost consultation call, where we can explore together your therapeutic needs and decide what would be best for you.
