I am a clinical psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of depression, mood instability, anxiety, life-transitions, chronic stress, grief/loss and trauma.  I have a secondary specialization in family systems, high-conflict relationships, relational trauma, and mediation.   Services are provided virtually and in-person, depending on client preference and accessibility. A hybrid approach to care is always welcome.​ 

The hallmarks of my style are warmth, insight, encouragement and connection. My goal is to create a feeling of genuine openness and trust to speak directly and honestly to the difficult issues at hand.The primary focus of our work is to create solutions; but that is not all. I foster a strong therapeutic relationship with each and every client. That relationship is key.  It is the spark that animates the entire process. Together, we generate optimism, self-compassion and greater emotional clarity. These elements are foundational to change.

If you work with me, a sense of relief and empowerment will develop over time. It typically begins with your chief concern, and then carries into other aspects of your functioning and outlook. I call that experience: spiraling up. It is the opposite of being “stuck” and our overarching goal.

To best help you, I select from therapeutic methods grounded in the science of interpersonal neurobiology. More specifically, I use Relational, Attachment-based and Psychodynamic psychotherapies. These tools maximize your hard-wired ability to repair and grow, and are effective for both individuals and family systems.
