I believe we all want to feel safe, seen, and accepted, just as we are. I also believe that we thrive when we are supported in navigating life’s inevitable challenges and when we feel genuinely connected to others. I enjoy working with clients who want to improve their relationships, whether with themselves, their partners, their children and/or parents, and with important others in their lives. I also help clients address self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and feelings of inadequacy, as well as improve their ability to be present, grounded, and accepting of life as it is unfolding.

It lights me up when clients unlock an important insight about themselves, figure out how to be easier on themselves (and others!), feel more fulfilled in relationships, and learn how to take life in stride. I am constantly at work on these things, too!

Your safety, comfort, and trust in me is the very most important thing I can offer you. Once we’ve built a strong foundation, I work collaboratively with you, integrating psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, somatic, and IFS (Internal Family Systems) approaches to help you achieve your goals. I’m committed to developing a nuanced understanding of you, uniquely, and I will always approach our work together with compassion, curiosity, and gentle humor. It’s equally important to me to understand your unique racial, cultural, and social identities and understand how these shape your life. Other fun facts: I’m conversational in Spanish, have run two marathons, lived abroad, love cooking, travel, music, and being active outdoors. I’m grateful to be in a loving and lasting partnership, and I’m a joyful (and often humbled!) mom of three.
