It can be hard to recognize when you need to turn to someone else for help. Sometimes having a trusted person outside your family & friends can offer clarity and help during difficult situations. I work with my clients to identify what is making them feel "stuck" or overwhelmed and put them back on the path of feeling empowered, grounded and hopeful. By exploring your thoughts & feelings, we will be able to move you forward and help you to find the support you need and find happiness in the moment.

I specialize in treating trauma and anxiety, and in working with women as they navigate life transitions like college/graduate school, relationships, marriage and new parenthood.

Through an approach of curiosity, collaboration, and genuine care, I will work with you to explore patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting that get in the way of your goals. Together, we will discover the origin of long-held self-limiting beliefs and stories whether rooted in past experiences of trauma, attachment wounds or other difficult circumstances. We will identify your triggers and blind spots for these patterns and help you integrate new responses so that you can make intentional choices that are in line with your values and vision for yourself. My hope is that through our work, you will access your authentic voice allowing your innate courage, creativity and wisdom to guide your way.

Whether working with clients through current stresses or healing from past wounds, I use a psychodynamic lens and often integrate somatic and mindfulness interventions to help clients cultivate ease, calm and clarity. I consider therapy a sacred process, and am honored to support each of my clients on their unique journey.

I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.

You hold the world together for everyone else. But balancing the complex demands of caretaking, family crises, or supporting a child's disability means your own needs have likely taken a backseat.

My goal is to give you that space back. I bring a grounded, warm presence (and a little humor) to the therapeutic process. Together, we can actively untangle the overwhelm or create a quiet space for profound realizations. Let's talk about how to get you feeling grounded again.
