Our path in life is our own precious journey, which defines our history and determines our legacy. Like every journey, there may be unexpected turns, directions to choose, difficult positions to sustain, and conflictual decisions to make. I am an experienced Mental Health Counselor with an international background in clinical psychology and research.

I specialize in working with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and bereavement. I have also served many college students and the specific issues and challenges they deal with. My primary goal is tailor treatment to perfectly fit with the idiosyncratic characteristics of each patient.  

Therapeutically, I use an integrative approach that is client-centered and focused on the specific needs and goals of my patients. I combine elements of psychological theory and research such as psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, social and gestalt psychology.

I am fluent in Italian, as well!

I believe strongly that our work together can help you find the innate resources and strengths that you need to gain insight into what is getting in your way, so that you can restore balance, harmony, and health to your life. My style is warm, non-judgmental, and highly interactive— no subject, thought, or emotion is barred from talking about. I use a non-pathologizing approach that is affirming and strengths-based. I am sex-positive and LGBTQ-affirming, and I recognize that all individuals are situated within the larger social and political context of their lives.

I work with adults, millennials and teens struggling with relationship and attachment issues, anxiety, depression, major life transitions, toxic family patterns, family dysfunction, poor boundary setting, work-life balance issues, burnout, identity building, chronic somatic distress, chronic illness, intergenerational trauma, and sexuality. I utilize a variety of techniques to help you discover not only how the past is impacting you today, but also how we can alter recurring thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that are holding you back.  

My work is holistic and integrative, and honors all of the interrelated facets of well-being: the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional.   My practice is informed by psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness and imagery techniques, somatic work, cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, and my background in the creative arts.  Our work will help you build greater self-awareness and emotional flexibility to create space for positive changes in your life, both tangible and energetic.  

As our sessions progress, we will get to the core of where certain patterns come from and why they are getting in your way. Our work will help you identify distorted thinking, modify beliefs, change behavior, and relate to yourself and others in a way that helps you build an authentic, integrated whole, resilient, and gratifying sense of self.

*Virtual only

I offer an affirming, warm, compassionate therapy style for adults who are experiencing a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, as well as those coping with family members with special needs. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), relational therapy, and trauma-informed care to help my cleints gain insight, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal goals. 

I have a particular interest in treating college students and young adults who are in a transitional or chaotic stage in their lives. I use an empathic and pragmatic approach in my work to help people gain access to negative thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to face. I prioritize a client-centered approach, where I adapt therapeutic interventions to meet your unique goals and needs based upon how you want to evolve.

My belief is that we all have the strength to overcome and grow through life’s challenges, even if they seem impossible to overcome. I am passionate about de-stigmatizing mental health care and building strong, long-term relationships with clients in order to go deep into their intrapsychic world and join them on their healing journey. I view therapy as a partnership and look forward to getting to know you.

Trauma lives in the body and manifests in many ways. We can live too much in our head, cut off from our heart and body, leaving the residue of traumatic experiences active within us. Together we can process this residue in a way that works for you, reaching a personal balance between the heart, body, and mind. 

 

The society we live in doesn't always fit our needs, which is enough to create a great deal of anxiety and stress for anyone. We don't all think in the same ways, and we are all learning more and more about how diverse our brains and experiences in life can be. For neurodivergent people in particular, living in a society tailored to neurotypical individuals, can often be outright traumatizing. I support and encourage neurodivergent communication styles, individual ways of thinking, and all varieties of emotional expression in therapy. Allow me to listen and help as you develop your own understanding in your own words. When you can see the 'what' and 'why' of your patterns, we can help figure out how you can heal. I will follow your lead on what you want out of therapy. 

Seeing so many people struggle to deal with the dehumanization and mental burdens that systemic problems force on us, I was drawn to the field of psychotherapy with a lens of justice and equity. I deeply value the alliance we can build together, and would feel honored and humbled if you share your story with me. I would love to collaborate with you on your healing journey. 

I am available for virtual sessions in Oregon. Please feel free to request a free 15 minute consultation to see if I am a good fit for you!

I work with clients to achieve their short- and long-term goals, including handling their professional and personal life, anxiety, and depression. I focus on young adults and adults both in-person and virtually. My practice is founded on Integrative Psychotherapy, an approach that embraces multiple views of improving human functioning. As a result, I use different treatment modalities for each client based on their preferences and needs, incorporating techniques from psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and somatic therapies.

I will create an honest, supportive environment to help you clarify and pursue your goals with confidence. Our work will always be collaborative because I see you as the expert on your own life. I have experience working with youth and adults on a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, family issues, adoption/fostering.

I welcome clients of all genders, sexual orientations, religions/spiritualities, and abilities. I love providing therapy and endeavor for my clients to enjoy and grow from the work as much as I do.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in the idea of a deep connection between the mind and the physical body, and the intrinsic ability in all people to heal, grow, and make positive change through the transformative power of their own mind. This ideology is informed by my time at Columbia University’s Spirituality Mind Body Institute, where I received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology and Spirituality. There I learned the science of mindfulness and the ways in which our thought patterns are capable of both positively and negatively effecting not only one’s emotional/ mental state but the physical body as well. 

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced/experience trauma, anxiety, depression, and OCD, and help clients work through the impact these issues can have on their interpersonal relationships, career, social life, motivation, and sense of self. I also work with clients experiencing dating, relationship, and intimacy issues. 

In my practice I utilize a wide range of therapeutic techniques, and appreciate the benefit of integrating traditional psychotherapeutic modalities with less traditional methods which utilize my alternative background. I have training in CBT, DBT, mindfulness and meditation, the Alexander Technique from Ted Dimon, founder of the Dimon Institute, and trauma-informed therapy from Dr. Bessel van der Kolk’s Trauma Research Foundation.

As a therapist I believe that everyone is on a unique path and journey towards self-actualization, therefore there is no real textbook approach to therapy.  As a clinician I make space for the individual and prioritize fostering a safe, open, empathic, and flexible environment for my clients to explore, navigate, and better comprehend both their inner and outer worlds. I show up for my clients with compassion and non-judgment, and perhaps more importantly, I encourage my clients to show up for themselves with the same compassion and non-judgment.

Whether you’re new to therapy or have been in therapy for many years, I will work with you toward reaching your goals, getting “unstuck,” and gaining a better understanding of yourself and your interpersonal relationships.

No matter where you are on your path, I’m here to support you in cultivating the inner and outer world you seek! 

I am currently accepting clients for both virtual and in-person sessions.

Informed by my previous work in documentary film and neuropsychology research, I bring together the art and the science of multiple people-centered professions. Whether in a research lab, film edit, or therapy room, I am guided by the belief that change happens as we come to understand ourselves in new and deeper ways. When we see ourselves clearly and allow ourselves to be seen by others, we become free to choose something different. 

To facilitate this process of self-discovery, I provide an affirming, nonjudgmental space grounded in trust, safety, compassion, and curiosity. We’ll explore your history, your present, your relationships, and your experience of self. We’ll look together at the places in life where you feel stuck and help you re-connect to your innate forward motion. From this place of knowing and being known, we will walk together into a new way of being.

In practice, I integrate a psychodynamic perspective with attachment science, trauma-informed modalities, and a relational way of working to best support your unique needs. I have experience working with adults and adolescents dealing with depression, anxiety, perfectionism, shame, life transitions, disordered eating, attachment wounds, and all manner of relationship challenges. 

I am available for both in-person and virtual sessions!
