About me
There are times in life when everything looks intact from the outside yet inside, you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and need a quiet space to explore your thoughts and feelings in a refelctive realtionship with a trusted person.
I work with people who are ready to explore what they need and want from life despite the noise. I have extensive experience with childhood trauma, eating problems, life transtions and anxiety issues. This has been the focus of my work for over 26 years.
I offer a warm, steady, thoughtful and curious space. Therapy with me is relational and trauma informed. We work at depth, but at a pace that feels manageable.
Whether you are in the midst of a life transition, questioning long standing patterns, want to change your relationship with your thoughts and feelings or just need a place to make sense of the past and present, therapy can be a place to recalibrate and be curious.
