About

As a therapist, I support individuals, couples and families navigating the emotional challenges that arise during major life transitions, traumatic experiences, and while living with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or addiction. I work with clients ages 15 and up, helping them explore and process complex relational and identity issues across key life stages — including academic and learning stress, workplace/job difficulties, questions around purpose, and intimate and family relationships. This includes transitions such as pre-engagement, marriage, parenting, separation, divorce, illness, and loss. I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach that draws from talk therapy modalities (including CBT and DBT skills), and—depending on each client’s interest—may incorporate expressive arts therapy such as journaling, dramatic play, visual art, and narrative storytelling.
