As a couples therapist and creative arts therapist, I help partners and individuals explore their inner worlds with curiosity and compassion. Together, we’ll work to understand the origins of your struggles, illuminate unconscious patterns that shape your relationships, and cultivate new ways of relating—to yourself, to others, and to your life.​ My work is grounded in psychodynamic, attachment-based, and trauma-informed therapy, with an emphasis on creating a thoughtful, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic space.

In couples therapy, I work with partners experiencing recurring conflict, emotional distance, attachment injury, or difficulty reconnecting. My approach helps couples slow down reactive patterns, understand what’s happening beneath conflict or withdrawal, and move toward greater emotional clarity, repair, and intimacy, particularly during periods of rupture or life transition. I have helped couples navigate fertility, loss, sexual intimacy, gender transition, affairs, non-monogamy, financial stress, parenting, and trauma.

I also offer individual psychotherapy and creative arts therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relational challenges. Creative arts therapy is integrated as a clinical tool to support emotional processing and insight when words alone feel limiting.

I am a nurse midwife and psychiatric nurse practitioner providing individual and group psychotherapy and medication management for preconception, pregnancy and postpartum, with specialization in loss and bereavement.

I am a licensed psychologist who provides individual, couples, and group therapy. My primary theoretical approach is psychodynamic/relational/insight oriented psychotherapy for individuals working through relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and adjustment to transition through life's challenges. I believe healthy people seek therapy for a variety reasons throughout life, and psychotherapy can help you find a more genuine and integrated way of living and relating to others. I work collaboratively to recognize patterns and become aware of unconscious habits and choices that impact one's life and functioning.

Hi there! Do your emotions feel like a tangled knot inside you? Anytime our feelings or behaviors interfere with living our best life, therapy can help. I am passionate about working with adults, children and couples dealing with emotional struggles.
