I view my role as collaborative and supportive, where we build a relationship of trust and work through the isolation and overwhelm that can accompany life transitions, traumatic events, and the major and minor crises that all of us experience at some point. I cultivate a therapeutic space that is safe, empathetic, and geared towards getting unstuck, healing, and growth. 

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based and tailored to your individual needs and wants, because therapy is not a “one size fits all” undertaking. I’ve studied and trained in a number of different modalities, including mindfulness-based strategies such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma-Informed CBT, Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Somatic Therapy, and Brainspotting. Most of all, I want to help you add to your emotional toolkit in ways that work for you. I welcome humor, authenticity, and all of you into our sessions. 

My areas of focus include anxiety and depression, trauma, parenting and coparenting, intimate partner violence, coercive control, perinatal mental health, and life and family transitions. I work with individuals and couples, with a focus on adults and transitional age youth. I hold a PhD in Cultural Anthropology and bring to sessions a thoughtful understanding of how social structures, belief systems, and cultural norms can influence mental health and affect our ability to live authentically.

I am a parent to a teenager and in my free time, I enjoy yoga, being outdoors, road trips, and binge reading nearly anything. 

I’m glad you’re here. When you are ready, please reach out to learn more.
