Major life events and changes can be overwhelming, but can also be powerful periods of transition. Having a space to reflect intentionally during this time and at any time can be empowering. I’d like to help create that space for you.

My approach to therapy is friendly, inquisitive and integrative, meaning we collaborate at your own speed, utilizing an array of skills from CBT/DBT and psychodynamic theory. By processing your past history with me, we can explore new perspectives about them to create a new narrative. I know it's easy to feel stuck, ruminate on the "what-ifs" or not know how to proceed and I can be your consultant on this journey.

Self-care is also important to living a well-rounded, peaceful life. You deserve the type of life you want to achieve and I believe therapy is a way to do that healthily. Let's do it together by helping you find a sense of ease navigating through it all.

While our personal histories may inform our current struggles, it does not define who we are, or who we may become.

I use an integrative, client-centered approach and believe strongly in the power of self-efficacy, attachment theory, developmental psychology, family systems and neuroscience. I guide my practice with trauma-informed care, and I assist clients in developing their unique resilience story. This begins with relational connection, warmth, and radical self-acceptance co-created in the therapeutic environment. 

I have completed training in EMDR and utilize this in my practice as a unique and integrative tool to assist clients in achieving deep healing. I have helped both adolescent and adult clients with anxiety-based disorders including but not limited to; generalized anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and eating disorders.

Using empathy, acceptance, compassion, humour and transparency I aim to create a secure environment for clients to develop and explore their unique self. Having a background in dance, I strongly believe in the importance of mind-body connection and its impact on emotional experience. I invite clients to join me in co-creating an atmosphere of understanding where growth and emotional resilience develops, leading to a life of wholeness and personal fulfillment.

My vision of therapy is captured by a quote by Ram Dass; “We’re all just walking each other home.”

This “home” is a knowing; a peace and sense of safety and security within ourselves and within the world around us. While this journey home is beautiful and unique, at times, it can be treacherous and lonely, as we all face obstacles and barriers along the way. As your therapist, I see myself as your guide – someone to help you identify, navigate, and overcome whatever obstacles you face on your journey.

Using an integrative approach, I blend more traditional psychodynamic and relational therapies with evidence-based modalities, including but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. I am specially trained in trauma-informed approaches, as well as early child development. I use attachment and play-based approaches to help arm new and current parents with insights and techniques to tackle the challenges of parenting children with and without developmental differences and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).

I work with adults to address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, body image and self-esteem, life transitions, trauma, social and work place challenges, and postpartum and perinatal issues. My style is warm, compassionate, and affirming; however, I challenge my clients as well. I can walk your path with you but not for you. Together we can help you realize, grow, and learn to utilize your own internal strengths and innate resilience as you make your way home.

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!

My clinical perspective is integrative, humanistic, and highly individualized. My goal is to guide each of my clients in creating a compassionate, authentic, and agentic voice that enables you to lead the life you envision for yourself.

My style is warm, interactive, and collaborative. I work with individuals and couples using holistic, innovative, and progressive clinical approaches that suit your unique needs. I have advanced training and experience in evidence-based techniques that address trauma, relationships, negative emotions, low self-esteem, grief, life transitions, and much more.

I am an LGBTQIA-affirming, anti-oppressive, inclusive, and social justice-oriented therapist who recognizes the diversity and uniqueness of all people. I am clinically licensed and accepting patients in both NY and MA!

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!

Making the decision to start therapy can be both tough and uncomfortable, AND, can lead to meaningful growth and change. Therapy can provide a very fulfilling and clarifying experience that can assist you in areas of your life where you may feel stuck, trapped and/or just wanting change. Working through these areas can unlock more joy, peace, ease, self-compassion and love.

I specialize in issues related to trauma in individual and couples therapy. Utilizing an Integrative approach, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy which is an incredibly unique and supportive way to work on traumatic and painful memories that still impact you today. I also use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support clients who are seeking to change behaviors in their life. For couples, I use the Ackerman Relational Approach (ARA) to help support couples have meaningful conversations that allow more room for empathy, understanding and connection.

In addition to the therapy modalities above, I engage in an eclectic approach to healing which includes holistic wellness practices such as meditation/breath work, movement and nutrition. I am an LGBTQI+ affirming, anti-racist/anti-oppressive, body positive therapist.
