I will help you explore how both internal emotional processes and external influences affect your life and guide you toward lasting change and healthier connections with yourself and others.
Do you feel overwhelmed by balancing personal, professional, emotional, and societal demands? Perhaps you’re navigating major life transitions—parenthood, career changes, or the weight of past trauma—while searching for space to nurture your own needs? Or maybe you’re working to improve a relationship with a partner, child, parent, sibling, friend, or a part of yourself? If this resonates with you, I’d love to help you create a path to greater clarity and connection.
Throughout my life, I have benefitted from excellent therapy. It helped me navigate immense challenges and empowered me to grow from them, rather than be overtaken by them. Now, I am deeply committed to helping others in the same way I was helped, providing comfort, encouragement, strength, and compassion to those who are struggling.
My 20-year partnership and the experience of raising my two children have further deepened my understanding of life’s challenges, which informs my empathetic and effective therapeutic approach. I also recognize that we are all on our own unique journeys, and my natural curiosity about our differences propels my work. I specialize in working with individuals from all backgrounds—especially couples, parents, and adolescents—who are navigating the complexities of relationships, or dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, peri/postpartum and life transitions.
I approach individuals not in isolation, but as part of a broader set of internal and external systems. We exist in the context of our families, relationships, communities, and the socio-cultural systems that shape us. Or…“You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you!” Through this systemic lens, I will help you explore how both internal emotional processes and external influences affect your life and guide you toward lasting change and healthier connections with yourself and others. I would be honored to work with you.
A little sleep in, hot yoga, some time to play piano or curl up with a book, afternoon card games with the kids, a leisurely dinner I didn’t have to prepare, and maybe some live music!
I’m doing parts work with my therapist to try to be present with the parts of myself that may have been overly protected for some time (fear, grief).
Dancing! (much to my kids’ embarrassment), hiking, and swimming
George Sand - she was a trouble-making, feminist writer who also got to lie underneath the piano while Chopin played. Hero.
The communion of energy that happens when someone feels truly heard, understood, and accepted - it can be magical!
