I am deeply committed to advanced, post-graduate learning so that the care I provide is both clinically grounded and emotionally attuned. I believe effective therapy lives at the intersection of evidence-based practice and genuine human connection, and I approach this work with steadiness, nuance, and deep respect for the complexity of each person’s story.

My work is rooted in trauma-informed, neuro-informed practice and shaped by years of experience supporting individuals through high-stress, emotionally layered, and life-altering circumstances. I am intentional in the modalities I use and thoughtful in how I integrate them, always attuning to the unique nervous system, history, and inner world of the person in front of me.

Attachment, Relationship Patterns & Interpersonal Dynamics

(Individual Therapy Focus)

Understanding how we relate to others is a central part of my work. I integrate attachment-based and relational approaches into individual therapy to help clients make sense of the patterns they carry into relationships — often without consciously choosing them. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and emotionally invested, yet find themselves stuck in familiar dynamics: over-giving, caretaking, avoiding, people-pleasing, withdrawing, or choosing emotionally unavailable partners.

Together, we explore how early experiences, family systems, and past relationships continue to shape present-day interactions. This work is not about blame; it is about clarity, compassion, and choice. As insight grows, so does the ability to show up with more boundaries, flexibility, and authenticity in relationships.

Trauma & Nervous System Healing

Trauma is not only what happened — it is what lingers in the body and nervous system afterward. I integrate EMDR with somatic and parts-based approaches to support the processing of distressing memories, relational wounds, and deeply held patterns. My focus is on helping clients move out of survival mode and into a felt sense of safety, agency, and regulation.

This includes both acute experiences and the quieter, cumulative impact of chronic stress, emotional neglect, relational rupture, and long-term overextension.

Anxiety, OCD & Overfunctioning Patterns

(Including SPACE Treatment – Yale University Training)

Much of my work centers on the intersection of anxiety, emotional overcontrol, and high internal pressure. I work with individuals who struggle with overthinking, hyper-responsibility, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and rigid self-expectations — patterns that often develop in response to early pressure, unpredictability, or the need to stay “ahead” of distress.

I integrate evidence-based approaches, including ERP, with a compassionate, nervous-system-informed lens to help clients build tolerance for uncertainty, soften self-criticism, and relate to anxiety with more flexibility and self-trust.

I trained at Yale University’s Child Study Center with Dr. Eli Lebowitz, the developer of SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), and integrate this framework to support parents in reducing accommodation, responding to anxiety with confidence and connection, and shifting family patterns that unintentionally reinforce distress. This work is grounded in an attachment-informed perspective and supports both individual and relational change.

Perinatal Mental Health, Loss & Identity

I specialize in supporting women and families navigating pregnancy loss, multiple miscarriages, infertility, and the emotional complexities of the motherhood journey. This work often includes grief that is invisible or disenfranchised, identity shifts that feel disorienting, and the quiet mental and emotional load so many carry without acknowledgment.

My approach is gentle, grounded, and deeply respectful of the layered nature of this experience — honoring both the pain and the resilience that coexist.
