I'm a graduate of Smith School of Social Work, and a licensed psychotherapist. Over the past 15 years I've worked in clinical and educational settings. I am flexible in my approach. I trust clients’ innate capacity to heal and emphasize their ability to notice, regulate, and build on their own bodily wisdom. At the same time, I take an active, attuned role—offering moment-to-moment guidance to help organize experience and support nervous system regulation.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Therapy is a space where we listen and speak differently, and change can emerge not only through insight, but through new experiences of embodiment and connection. During our first session I will seek to understand your concerns and goals and answer any questions you have. I hope to begin developing a relationship of trust so that you feel comfortable.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I focus on present-moment awareness of thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations to support stabilization, resilience, and a renewed sense of agency. Clients often experience increased emotional regulation, reduced trauma symptoms, and a stronger capacity to stay connected to themselves and others.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I primarily work with individuals who find themselves in transition or questioning long-standing patterns. My training is psychodynamic in orientation and integrates somatic awareness alongside more structured and practical interventions when appropriate. Each person is unique and so our work together will be shaped by what's most important to you. My focus is primarily on life transitions, anxiety, attachment and trauma. I've recently really enjoyed working with adolescent and college age clients, but I have experience and interest in all ages and backgrounds.

My treatment methods

Psychodynamic

I was trained at Smith College, which has a psychodynamic framework.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I believe IFS is one of the best ways to get started in understanding our internal conflicts.

Somatic

I have trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which is a great framework for understanding symptoms related to trauma and attachment. It is very helpful in challenging a top down approach to symptoms, and reintegrates the lived experience of the body.
