About

Our connections with ourselves, others, and our communities can bring tremendous joy, meaning, and fulfillment. In contrast, experiences of disconnection, isolation, shame, and loss can elicit profound anguish. A crucial step toward relief and enduring growth in psychotherapy starts with a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust. Beyond the reasons bringing you in, I am committed to listening to your life story and getting to know you as a whole, imperfect person who deserves unconditional care and respect. From there, we can identify opportunities to relate to yourself and others in new ways. My primary specialties include trauma, grief, moral injury, and adjustment. I am particularly experienced working with healthcare professionals, legal professionals, civil servants, individuals who have experienced traumatic loss (e.g., violent death, suicide, or homicide survivorship), intergenerational trauma, psychological abuse, and neglect.
