I have a passion for supporting couples, individuals, and teens as they navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful connections to themselves and the people they choose to be close to. Specializing in Emotionally Focused Therapy, I focus on creating emotional safety, improving communication, and fostering connection. I integrate mindfulness, self-compassion, and Internal Family Systems therapy to help individuals explore their inner worlds, understand their emotional triggers, and develop greater emotional resilience.
I've supported the mental health of children and families in a variety of roles and settings since 1990. I'm not your ordinary therapist. I bring decades of experience building trust and safety, attuning to emotional and somatic responses, and comfort being with vulnerability. My experience as a mom, bodyworker, educator, and researcher offers a rich set of skills to apply to complex emotional and relationship issues. I provide empathy, insight into the mind-body connection, calm energy, communication skills, and a safe, flexible, and structured environment for growth. I value evidence-based approaches so you get the results you want.
