I care deeply about the people I work with and feel continually moved by the strength and resilience individuals carry, even in the midst of profound pain or trauma. For more than 30 years, I have supported adults experiencing emotional distress, relationship harm, grief, and major life challenges. My work is trauma-informed, meaning we move at a careful and respectful pace, strengthening day-to-day coping while gently making sense of past experiences and their impact on the present.

My approach is integrative and relational, drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-based, somatic, mindfulness-informed, and meaning-centered therapies. Rather than applying a single method, I adapt the work to each person’s history, personality, culture, and current circumstances. At the heart of therapy is a collaborative partnership grounded in compassion, safety, and deep respect for your lived experience.

Life can bring unexpected suffering, loss, and uncertainty. In individual therapy, we work together to explore relationships, identity, and emotional patterns, supporting both practical coping and the deeper work of healing. Even in the darkest periods, therapy can help restore hope, purpose, and the possibility of a life that feels more fully alive. I truly care about the people I work with because authenticity is always at the forefront in our therapy. 

I have extensive experience working with trauma, intimate partner violence, family-of-origin patterns, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Therapy not only provides relief from distress but also restores clarity, dignity, connection, and a renewed sense of meaning in daily life.
