I specialize in assisting adult individuals in processing experiences of trauma, grief & loss. I help adult individuals to change patterns of disordered eating and improve their body image, to decrease depression & anxiety, and to move through life transitions.

I help adult clients to understand issues in the larger context of their lives, relationships & community, and help clients address negative beliefs or maladaptive patterns of behavior, and replace those with new, adaptive ways of thinking and living. I view clinical issues through a systemic lens, and my primary modality for working with adult individuals is Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, although I often integrate aspects of additional modalities to fit each individual client’s unique therapeutic needs.

I can provide support to adolescents (age 13+) navigating the impact of trauma, grief & loss, body image and self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety & life transitions. In my work with adolescents, I strongly encourage the incorporation of family sessions, as I believe that our natural familial supports have strong healing potential, especially for teens.

Humans are social creatures, and I believe that we cannot separate ourselves from the context of our relationships.  In therapy, I assist couples & families in exploring problems from a systemic perspective, and help my clients identify patterns of resiliency, coping skills, and personal strengths that can be honed to solve their problems. I utilize interventions from a variety of systemic therapy techniques to change patterns of intergenerational trauma, rebuild the foundation of relationships, and strengthen healthy emotional expression between family members. Please note that my work with families centers on support for adolescent clients, I do not work with those under the age of 13.

In working with couples, I provide a safe, supportive and neutral environment. I utilize Gottman Couples Therapy and other systemic therapy techniques to assist couples in shifting unhelpful patterns within the relationship, learn ways to recognize and resolve conflict, deepen their friendship & intimacy, create shared meaning within their relationship and communicate with each other with trust and empathy.
