About
Drawing on trauma-informed and psychodynamic practices, my intention is to provide a reparative experience with my clients while offering a consistent, safe, and nurturing presence. I have experience treating individuals struggling with Complex PTSD (CPTSD), Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), Grief and Loss, as well as pregnancy loss. I also have extensive experience treating couples experiencing repeated patterns of conflict and can help in adopting more supportive relational dynamics while increasing emotional intimacy.

Healing lies in understanding those underlying needs while addressing them with therapeutic guidance and self-compassion.
