Office Policies + Procedures

I am an integrative therapist and social worker. I believe healing and recovery take place in the context of relationships, both with ourselves and others. I seek to help my clients understand how past experiences have shaped their approach to their life, values, and interpersonal relationships. I enjoy helping clients increase their self-awareness as well as identify and understand ways in which their current behaviors and patterns have served both protective functions and may hinder wellness and authentic living. I use an integrated approach to therapy, grounded in psychodynamic therapy and use an attachment, emotion-focused, and trauma-informed lens in my work. Holding space for the relationship we co-create is essential to my work, and I focus on facilitating and creating space for my clients to access their own inner healing intelligence. I seek to empower movement toward lasting, meaningful change and holistic wellness and healing, not simply symptom reduction.

I offer integrative individual psychotherapy and therapy intensives to business executives, entrepreneurs, medical and law professionals, parents/caregivers, and students. Curiosity, connection, and compassion are central tenants to my work. Above all, we are human first. I consider it a privilege to enter deep spaces and form meaningful relationships with my clients.

I believe therapy happens at your own pace and that people exist outside of diagnostic labels. There’s a place for love, humor, kindness, compassion, authenticity, courage, and curiosity in the therapeutic process and relationship. Therapy involves your active participation. I am committed to meeting you where you are and being with you on your journey. Everyone is welcome.

My areas of expertise include relationship problems, career/work stressors, anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, complicated grief and loss, family dynamics, substance use, and eating disorders. In addition, I have a particular interest in working with suicide loss survivors (i.e., those who have lost a loved one or connection to suicide). As a suicide loss survivor myself, I can relate to the impact of suicide loss and the need for a safe space for understanding and coping with this complicated and painful experience. I am EMDR-trained and am advanced trained in Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). I offer emotion coaching and Caregiver Workshops for caregivers supporting loved ones with eating disorders and various other mental health concerns. I also have advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), psychodynamic psychotherapy, and trauma. Lastly, I support clients in integrating experiences of non-ordinary states of consciousness.
