I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families. My work is informed by Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, an integrative model of psychotherapy that blends attachment theory, affective neuroscience, somatic approaches and short-term dynamic psychotherapies to heal trauma, awaken your most authentic self, and increase your sense of connection with others.

I specialize in working with individuals with eating disorders and have post-graduate training in this area, but I have years of experience working with clients who are struggling with a variety of different issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, relational difficulties, and feeling stuck or stymied.

Navigating our lives can be incredibly challenging and sometimes we just need some support while we’re figuring it out. We actually all deserve that support, whether we believe it or not. When we have a history of trauma things like relationships become confusing and hard to understand. They may even feel unsafe. And when we don’t have a strong connection with ourselves, connecting with others can feel overwhelming. We might lose ourselves in someone else, or we might experience the push and pull of wanting to be close, but not knowing how.

Together we can map out a plan for you to begin to better understand what you need in your life. I know firsthand that there is freedom and wholeness on the other side of deep personal work and examination of relationships.

I work with individuals and couples struggling with eating disorders, addiction, chronic illness, relationship issues, spiritual guidance, or trauma. I also use experiential play therapy as a way to help children. Here are some of the types of therapy that I use are Gestalt, Body-mind psychotherapy, mindfulness,and person centered psychotherapy.

During our work together you will gain a broader awareness of yourself and your life and your ability and confidence to handle future struggles will grow. I practice from an integrative perspective and can adapt my approach to fit your needs; however, I always work toward the above goals since obstacles are inevitable for everyone, but the possibilities are limitless for how we may handle them. Some of my specialties include: fear & anxiety, grief & loss, relationships, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, multicultural & LGBTQ concerns, and chronic pain. However, whatever the primary concern may be, we can work together to explore its relationship to the rest of your experiences and uncover your own inherent path toward health and wholeness.
