Hi! Congratulations for taking the first steps in getting the support you desire. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained in Psychotherapy and provide a warm, supportive, non-judgmental and collaborative, therapeutic environment so you may gravitate toward leading a life that's happy and fulfilling. I provide individualized treatment, no "one size fits all", for women who are doing well, but are seeking deep and insightful reasons for their unhappiness. Whether it stems from sensitivities from past family trauma, feelings of insecurities within yourself or your relationships, stressors at work, or the feeling that something just "isn't right." I specialize in working with women navigating life's challenges, motivated toward personal/professional growth, who struggle with family/emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and identity concerns, grief and loss, chronic illness, and major life changes. I also have experience supporting clients through pre/perinatal and postpartum concerns, peri-menopausal, and post-menopausal mood and anxiety issues, as well as cultural, spiritual and religious trauma. Additionally, I am passionate about helping creative professionals, whether they seek employment as artists, writers, actors or musicians deal with painful feelings, fear of rejection and the difficulty involved in the sometimes painful journey toward their dream careers.

I am pdychodynamically trained, but my approach is person-centered, insightful, relational, holistic, strengths-based, positive and grounded in compassion and empowerment. Together, we work to help you better understand your experiences, put your emotions into perspective, build resilience, and develop greater self-awareness and confidence. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process that honors your unique story while helping you create meaningful and lasting change.

I like to meet you where you are and utilize empathic, affirming, psychodynamic, humanistic, positive and strength-based techniques. I also have a background in Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, IFS, EFT, trauma therapy and am EMDR certified. I integrate EMDR and somatic based therapy when appropriate to help clients process trauma, reduce emotional distress and move toward healing in a safe and supportive way.

Clients can expect empathy, compassion, rapport, resiliency and empowerment building, followed by symptom relief at each individual's pace.
