How I can help
I believe that the relationship between therapist and client can in-and-of-itself be a catalyst for change. My aim is to foster a therapeutic space that is warm, empathic, and non-judgmental–where your authentic-self can be heard and known. Within this space, I strive to come together with you to co-construct meaning and develop an understanding of yourself. To this end, I encourage the use of self-compassion and curiosity to gain insight into the interaction between your past experiences and current concerns. My hope is that therapy will ultimately help you uncover and renegotiate patterns that prevent you from living your life and relating to others in a way that feels genuine and meaningful to you.
My approach
I use a trauma-informed, psychodynamic relational approach to therapy, integrating existential, humanistic, and somatically-focused interventions, such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I tailor my approach to the unique needs of each individual and couple. I have worked with individual clients, couples, and families who struggled with issues related to trauma, grief and loss, family dynamics, relationships, and feelings of alienation and ‘stuckness’.

Clinical Training
I completed my predoctoral internship at an inpatient psychiatric hospital in Philadelphia, PA and my postdoctoral training at a nonprofit outpatient clinic in Denver, CO. I have experience providing individual, couples, group, and family therapy and administering psychological assessments in private practice, community mental health, and inpatient settings. I enjoy serving adults across the lifespan, particularly during phases of transition, and have had the pleasure of helping a wide scope of communities with diverse backgrounds.
