My Approach

I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches including attachment and depth-oriented psychotherapy, IFS and parts work, differentiation theory, and various embodied/experiential modalities. 

I hold a deep seated belief and trust in the healing power of relationships, the essential goodness within each person, and the wisdom of our bodies to protect us and help us heal.   

I aim to stay person-centered and tailor my approach to the strengths and needs of each client. In doing so, my focus is always on attending to intergenerational history, systemic contexts, and de-pathologizing the person throughout our work.


WHO I WORK WITH

I specialize in working with couples and individuals who are struggling with connection, attachment trauma, and major life transitions.

There are so many ways we can find ourselves suffering for long periods of time and not knowing what warrants help. I am a good fit for people who feel unsure why they feel “off” or like they can’t seem to figure out what' is wrong.


AN INVITATION

I know from experience how difficult it can be to know when to seek therapy or to imagine how it can help. No matter what is going on, one thing therapy always can offer is designated space to turn toward yourself, your life, and what matters to you in the company of someone who can offer genuine care, attunement, and support. If this sounds useful or even a little relieving, reach out.
