About

(Currently not accepting new clients, occasionally space for KAP clients)

I think finding the “right” therapist for you has to do with feeling good about that person, having a sense that being in their presence is enlivening and healthy, even when you’re working with something uncomfortable or difficult.

I've been seeing clients for over 15 years and love this work, mainly because I learn so much from and with my clients and relish having true, honest conversations. My style is trauma-informed, and I frequently incorporate somatic(body)-based trauma healing modalities such as Brainspotting, EMDR, guided imagery, KAP, equine therapy, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy preparation and integration. 

Since losing my mom several years ago, I am learning to walk more gently and curiously with the big existential questions of where we come from and where (and how) we go, of what it means to be an embodied human in these times. I welcome clients' grief and wondering, as we sit together in these explorations. 

I've had the privilege to get to work in the social justice arena with youth, families and communities for the past 20 years via a nonprofit that is now known as Lichen Health. Although therapy can often feel appropriately cocooned in a sacred and contained space, I have seen again and again how one person's inner healing is catalytic to broader cultural transformation. I believe both are important.

I am a trauma-focused therapist that specializes in EMDR therapy and play therapy. I offer both individual and family therapy. I will utilize evidence-based treatments to treat a wide range of issues including anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, family conflict, historical and recent trauma, life transitions and parenting/co-parenting. Additionally, I have lots of experience working as a behavioral specialists within the school system and supporting parents navigating 504/IEP/SST plans.

I have experience working with young children, teenagers, young adults, and families. I am passionate about helping people from diverse backgrounds and my space is safe for all sexual/gender identities, ages, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds.

My style is client-centered and focused on empowerment. I believe in you and feel so honored to be apart of your healing process. I know that you are showing up with extreme vulnerability and trusting me in this process. I am in this with you!

(Accepting new clients age 16 and up, in person and online.)

My clients like working with me because I'm very direct, engaged, and practical. I am not just here to agree with you or validate you (though I do that, too). I create a non-judgmental space filled with warmth, compassion, and humor...a safe harbor in the midst of the chaos of life.

Let's run some experiments and get curious about how change happens for you. I will hold you accountable (in a kind and loving way). I specialize in anxiety, executive functioning, habits, sex therapy, communication skills, and releasing trauma through Brainspotting.

I would be honored to be on your team. Working on yourself is not selfish, it affects your family, your community, and the wider world. Personal liberation is collective liberation. I offer a free phone consultation to explore whether I would be a good fit. 

(Currently accepting couples therapy clients only, online)

I offer therapeutic space for partners hoping to heal history as they navigate crafting the life they hope to share, and the relationship dynamic(s) that best suit who they are evolving to be. I specialize in navigating complex trauma histories in relationship, as well as current complexities, in a way that allows us to understand where history is coming alive in the body, mind or relational dynamic. Simultaneously, we will also foster skills for reflective communication, collaborative negotiation, co-regulation and compassionate holding, as we glean mutual understanding of relational needs, and build new secure ground to stand on.

Often, healing begins when we give voice to our unspoken stories so they can be held outside of the confines of the body and mind, and pain can be met with informed understanding and care. Together, we will work to free your relationship(s) from echoes of the past as we identify a path forward that honors all unique parts of you, your hopes, and your needs.

Complexities I navigate with clients include relational impacts of chronic illness, loving a partner experiencing PTSD, exploring bisexual identity in hetero presenting relationship, relationship transition, open relationship structuring, and supporting survivors of sexual abuse & domestic violence. Please feel free to reach out; let's chat about your healing.

Therapy can support in navigating tough emotions, getting unstuck through life’s challenges, and learning more about ourselves and others. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment for all of my clients, that fosters empowerment and healing.  In this space, you will be met with genuine empathy and deep caring.  You deserve to feel seen and heard in your story. I believe in an integrative therapy approach tailored to your needs. I am honored to be able to do this work with you. 

I have received training in Brainspotting and somatic-based healing. I love to incorporate mindfulness, play therapy, art therapy, meditation, guided imagery, music therapy, shadow work, and inner child healing. I am passionate about supporting adults, teens, and children, including the LGBTQIA+ community through life’s challenges and transitions.

I am also a birth doula and have a passion for supporting people on the journey of becoming parents. In addition, I have a unique understanding of raising blended families and have compassion for the challenges that can arise. I received my undergraduate BA in Psychology with a minor in Social Work, and my MA in Psychology with a Marriage and Family Therapy emphasis from the University of Massachusetts Global.

I really enjoy working with people while they are transitioning from who they’ve been into who they truly wish to be in this world. I use multiple avenues of creativity to open different paths of insightfulness, believing that each person ultimately holds the internal wisdom they require to change and transform while also understanding that everyone requires support, empathy and at times someone to help hold themselves accountable. 

I have almost two decades of experience in providing compassionate empathetic support to individuals and groups while also holding enough of an objective perspective to help individuals facilitate the change in their life that will best help them to grow and develop in the ways that will best serve themselves and their communities. I work from a trauma informed perspective and integrate a variety of approaches within sessions with clients including but not limited to somatic awareness, mindfulness, Brainspotting, DBT and creative catharsis. I have experience in working with diverse populations of people hailing from many different backgrounds but all grappling with understanding how to navigate the complexities of being human in the 21st century.

For me, healing by definition, is the process of returning to wholeness. Yet, what that means is unique to each individual. Here in lies the journey. I hold great passion, and respect, for the potential we all have to create change in our own lives. I approach change through a trauma-informed, somatic (body-based), and Expressive Arts Therapy (EXA) foundation. In conjunction with an intuitive and empathetic approach, I strive to create a safe, supportive space for folx to explore their inner worlds and the challenges that may be holding them back from a sense of wholeness. 

My wide range of life experiences greatly informs my ability to meet people in an array of circumstances. Utilizing both my psychotherapeutic training and my own life’s journey. In addition, I also hold the belief that our environments, and lifestyles play a significant role in our well-being. 

My approach to therapy is integrative, meeting each individual where they are to support them in moving towards a greater understanding of Self. It would be an honor to collaborate with you on your journey towards greater well-being, awareness, and fulfillment. What does your journey look like?

I believe there is medicine underneath every issue that can open up great healing and shifts in one’s life when approached from a conscious, loving place. I have great reverence for the human experience and honor the unique journey each person has embarked upon. I support clients with an integrative approach and wholeheartedly believe in the power of attuning to the body, mind, and soul.
