About

When working with you individually or in a couple, I encourage reflection, curiosity, and learning to understand your needs with compassion, creativity, and calm. I welcome diverse ages, abilities, and sexual and gender identities and invite the complexities of culture, ethnicity, and race. My approach is relational, attending to who and how you are in your relationship to yourself and with others. My specialty areas are in treating trauma, grief, and those experiencing chronic illness, and I have extensive experience supporting clients through major life transitions in academics, career, identity, and concerns across the lifespan. My training is grounded in psychodynamic and existential theories, integrating relational, developmental, and attachment-based perspectives. Our work together will include Mindfulness, CBT, and ACT. I'm attuned to the value and meaning of life roles, including activities in school/work and career development, parenting, and contributions of the aging.
