“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.”
As a clinician, my focus is to support you by creating a space where you can share your experiences in a way that feels less overwhelming and less alone. Together, we’ll work toward exploring anxieties and vulnerabilities with curiosity rather than criticism, judgment, and fear.
While I’m equipped to help individuals seeking practical skills and tools for more immediate behavioral changes, my greatest strengths lie in longer-term therapy work: helping people heal from relational wounds and developmental trauma, and engaging in deep, introspective and personality restructuring therapy work that fosters meaningful growth. I am skilled in being curious alongside my clients and providing a safe, grounded, non-judgmental presence for people to explore themselves, process unresolved emotions, and heal from painful inner experiences.
My areas of specialization include anxiety disorders (e.g., Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder) and trauma disorders (e.g., Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder, and Adjustment Disorders). I welcome, and consider it a privilege, to work alongside individuals of various ages, races, ethnicities, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, gender identities, and religious/spiritual beliefs.
In my work, I adopt an integrative approach that includes: Person Centered therapy; Object Relations theory; Psychodynamic therapy; mindfulness & acceptance-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-sensitive mindfulness techniques; Emotionally Focused Therapy; Existential Therapy; and Somatic Experiencing. My primary focus is on the professional therapeutic relationship in which individuals feel truly seen, heard, understood, and supported in such a way that promotes their own health and well-being. I liken my role as a counselor to that of a cast that holds a broken bone in place as it heals intuitively.
I am currently in my Advanced year for Somatic Experiencing, a three-year professional training program that seeks to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in the body. I have also been approved by Somatic Experiencing International to serve as a training Assistant for students in Beginning level training.
In my free time, I enjoy writing and playing music; reading books on psychology, anthropology, and spirituality; walking in the forest; eating good food with good people; watching independent films; and spending time with my partner and daughter.
