I provide services to young adults, adults and parents. My specialties include:

• Adjustment (to school/college, moving, new job, loss of a relationship, etc)
• Anxiety (constant worry, sleep disturbances, withdrawal/avoidance, chronic pain)
• Depression (sadness, hopelessness, lack of motivation, fogginess or numbness, irritability)
• Trauma/Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Adults Struggling with Adverse Childhood Experiences
• Adults with Parenting Challenges
• Personal Growth and Understanding

As a Psychodynamic therapist and a Certified EMDR clinician, I believe the therapy relationship is a window into my client’s inner world; in other words, therapy becomes a place where lifelong patterns and beliefs can be recognized and understood, and new ones created.  In addition to using our relationship to glean information and create meaningful changes, I evaluate my client’s past experiences starting with his/her/their earliest memories and most meaningful and transformative relationships. Together we identify: limiting beliefs, triggers, and past experiences that need attention and soothing.  We agree on treatment goals and work together to meet them and a pace that feels good to you.

Once in therapy, clients often report feeling: more self-aware (and less critical of themselves), more confident to set healthy boundaries, and relief from the suffocating symptoms of anxiety and depression.  

As a cisgendered, straight white woman, I am dedicated to making sure that my practice is LGBTQIA+ allied and affirming.  I welcome all ages, cultures, races, genders and sexual orientations. I continually try to learn, and bring into awareness, how my own biases, privileges, experiences, and perspectives shape and influence how I interact with the world, and with my clients.
