What brings you to therapy may not fit neatly into one category. Anxiety can exist alongside grief. Relationship difficulties may connect with traumatic experiences or changes happening in your life now. Chronic illness, caregiving, reproductive or midlife health experiences, and unexpected transitions can affect how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and the future.

Therapy with me is collaborative and active. I listen closely, ask questions, offer perspective, and help you make connections that may not always be easy to see on your own. As we work together, we'll pay attention to what's happening now, what may be contributing to it, and what you would like to change.

My approach is relational and integrative. Depending on your needs and goals, our work may draw from EMDR, psychodynamic and relational therapy, ACT, mindfulness, and somatic awareness. Therapy can help you understand how your experiences may be affecting you now without assuming that there is one explanation for what you're experiencing.

Before opening my private practice, I worked in community mental health and hospital-based oncology and palliative care. These experiences continue to inform my work and my understanding of trauma, grief, illness, relationships, and unexpected changes in life.
