Our Approach

Trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in compassion.

Compassion

Warmth

Connection

Whether you are new to therapy or just new to me, seeking support can feel vulnerable and overwhelming. Life does not always unfold as neatly as we expect, and reaching out is an act of courage. I strive to create a space that feels like a refuge — a place where you can slow down, exhale, and begin to tend to  tend to what you have been carrying.

Good therapy should feel safe, grounded, and human. I offer warmth, compassion, and nonjudgmental presence from the first consultation call to the moment you decide you’re ready for our work together to end. You do not need to have the right words. You do not need to be “ready.” You only need to show up as you are.

You deserve a place to feel supported, affirmed, and more at ease in your daily life — especially when life feels chaotic, painful, or heavy. Therapy is a space where we can make room for both the messiness and the meaning of your experiences. We will hold space for grief and joy, tears and laughter, loss and growth. We will celebrate progress while honoring what still hurts.

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in the understanding that patterns such as overfunctioning, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or emotional numbing once served a purpose. Together, we gently explore what those patterns have protected — and what you may be ready to release. Healing is not about erasing your story; it is about changing your relationship to it.

I work with adults in all stages of life to cultivate resilience, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection through talk therapy and EMDR. Sessions may be reflective, practical, emotional, or quietly powerful — often all at once. Above all, I aim to meet you with steadiness, curiosity, and respect as you move beyond survival mode and into a life that feels steadier, more aligned, and truly your own.

Commitment to Thoughtful, Depth-Oriented Care

Are we a good fit?

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 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.

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.

I support women navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and loss — including infertility and miscarriage. This is a space for the grief that often goes unnamed, the kind that lives quietly in the body, and for the identity shifts that can feel both tender and disorienting.

I also hold space for the relentless mental load of being a woman and a mother in this era — and the reality that motherhood is often far messier than what we see reflected day to day. The pressure to “do it all,” to build a village, to stay present, fulfilled, and connected while balancing career, motherhood, and your own inner life can feel overwhelming in ways that aren’t often spoken out loud.

I’m here for women moving through motherhood without the mothering they needed — whether shaped by loss, estrangement, or complexity. Becoming a mother has a way of bringing family-of-origin wounds to the surface, stirring longing, grief, and the deep, sometimes unspoken question of how you want to mother differently.

My approach is gentle, grounded, and deeply attuned — honoring the fullness of your experience while supporting you in creating a version of motherhood that feels true, intentional, and your own.
