Great to meet you!

I have extensive psychoanalytic and post-graduate training and comprehensive experience working as a psychotherapist in both private practice and in outpatient mental health clinics. I am trained by the EMDR International Association to provide EMDR, and am also extensively trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS); relational psychotherapy; Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT); and other evidence-based treatment modalities.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy as a partnership. You are the expert on you, and I will work with you to create a therapeutic process that supports you in healing.

What you can expect from me

If you have experienced trauma, even the typical stresses of a normal day can provoke anxiety, fear, anger, or withdrawal. Luckily, therapy can provide you tools to deal with life’s challenges, enabling you to minimize your stress levels and continue your personal growth. I will guide you to increased happiness and well-being by supporting you in exploring and enacting lasting, positive changes in your relationships with others, and most importantly, with yourself.
