Introduction

I’m a licensed psychologist who works with individuals, couples, and adult siblings. For 20 years I’ve helped clients with a wide variety of issues, but I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma in their lives. I specialize in helping people who endured trauma or neglect as children, which can manifest in adulthood as difficulties with relationships, issues with self-worth, physical health problems, and feelings of responsibility for everyone and everything. I primarily approach counseling through an insight-oriented lens, attempting to help clients uncover core, underlying issues that can lead to true healing. I tailor my work to each individual or couple and often combine the insight-based modality with cognitive and somatic work, as well as sensory regulation through the nervous system. My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and humorous—I want every client to feel safe to approach healing with me. A collaborative, genuine client-therapist relationship is vital. Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable is necessary to achieve healing. I invite you to ask as many questions as needed to help you determine if we might be a good fit. I work hard to create an affirming environment and welcome people of all identities, orientations, and nationalities.
