Great to meet you!

I am an LCSW trained in relational psychodynamic theory as well as a variety of modalities that can help you go deeper and beyond traditional talk therapy. I am trained in hypnosis, trained through the IFS institute, Somatic Experiencing International, and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy through Naropa University. I have also been practicing yoga, meditation and energy work for decades.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is to help you look inside to find what will help most. I believe that the fastest way to heal is by slowing down. Rather than offering quick solutions to complex situations, I help to create a safe enough space for you to slow down, connect, and begin to trust the emerging insights that come.

What you can expect from me

During our initial sessions, I will get to know you and get a sense of what brings you into therapy. Once we understand what your intentions are for therapy, we can explore which tools I offer are the right fit for us to use. Our process will be highly collaborative and experiential. Whether you are looking for immediate relief from suffering or to address the root of your suffering, we will explore and work together.
