Holding space together, creating a path forward
ABOUT ME
I'm a clinical social work therapist with 15 years of experience in areas including major life transitions, divorce/relationship issues, loss/grief, parental conflict with adult children, adult survivors of sexual trauma, and elder issues. My therapeutic style is warm, yet direct.
MY APPROACH
Together, we look at the patterns in your thoughts, behaviors, body and relationships—what strengths you innately have, what pulls you down, and where to shift. Turning toward yourself, instead of away from your experiences.
My work is to help you overcome persistent thoughts and emotions ultimately cultivating an ability to live your life with contentment, meaningful relationships, and a more complete understanding of yourself.
I am committed to walking with you toward a clearer understanding of patternistic thoughts, emotional responses and family traumas. Together we'll explore practical coping skills to build resiliency and feel more connected to yourself.
EXPERIENCE
I offer a psychodynamic, person-centered approach to healing using talk therapy, cognitive shifting, and EMDR. Together, we'll deepen self-understanding, navigate grief, strengthen relationships, and heal childhood wounds. Understanding yourself more fully, turning toward yourself with compassion, and allowing you to respond to life with intention.
