I believe that therapy, with a therapist who can help you feel safe, secure and seen, can restore our inherent joy, curiosity, creativity, and connectedness, which are often impaired or lost altogether as a result of trauma or past attachment wounds.

I am a relational therapist and specialize in exploring patterns that come from our families of origin, relationships with ourselves, with our friends, romantic partners, and children, as well as relationships with food and substances. I tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs by incorporating modalities such as Internal Family Systems, psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic work, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. Regardless of approach, what is transformative in therapy occurs in the relational dynamic.

I am committed to practicing from an anti-oppressive, inclusive, and culturally responsive framework. I also bring a practical mindset based on my own varied life experiences, including a prior career as a lawyer and as a parent, step-parent and partner.

I have advanced training in family and couples therapy from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy where I am currently a staff therapist and in Internal Family Systems from the IFS Institute.
