After 18 years working in the public sector in clinics, group homes and schools, primarily with teens and families, I am launching my private practice to offer individual therapy for adolescents and young adults and couples therapy for all ages. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally-focused couples therapy (EFCT) but incorporate many more modalities and focus on letting my client’s needs, strengths and interests drive treatment.

My approach is warm, direct and existentially curious. I believe all people need a place where they can share their deepest darkest and brightest most hopeful thoughts and receive affirmation, empowerment and unconditional acceptance. I have experience and insight working with issues of identity and alternative relationship structures, including non- monogamy and kink/ sexual exploration. No conversation is forbidden, I value being a place where people can go without fear of judgement.

The first several sessions will be an opportunity to tell your story and I will focus on getting to know where you are coming from, teaching some basic somatic and mindfulness skills as needed and getting curious about treatment goals. For individuals, we will collaboratively identify the right modality and pace. For couples and families, we will surface the patterns and assumptions that are keeping us stuck and explore ways to find our way back to connection and mutual care.
