About

Therapy can offer a relationship in which individuals access their innate wisdom to heal, grow, and thrive. I cultivate a safe therapeutic space for clients to explore patterns and challenges, and experiment with new ways of regulating and connecting. Together, we can address current concerns, as well as nurture deeper levels of healing. I work with clients who are navigating life transitions, relational difficulties, and the effects of early developmental trauma. I have a special interest in supporting parents and those in the perinatal period (preconception through the postpartum). The approach I use is relational, reflective, and strengths-based, and is deeply informed by attachment theory and neurobiology. My work pulls from a variety of modalities, including interpersonal psychodynamic therapy, parts work (Internal Family Systems), and mindfulness- and body-based therapies. I also utilize EMDR.
