Bio

People seek my support for a variety of reasons, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship- and work conflict, parenting, life transitions, and more. I work with adults, adolescents, and children using an integrative approach, offering a unique balance in response to the needs and preferences of each client. When working with children and teens, I collaborate closely with their parents to ensure consistency.

My areas of focus include psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, play therapy and playfulness, and mindfulness.

My goal is to create a climate of trust and collaboration for a journey of discovery and healing. I take the time to help clients feel fully seen and heard. This helps them see and hear themselves more clearly, as well.

Knowledge gained as a landscape historian and educator has led me to decode and interpret places wherever I go, whether professionally or personally. I use many of the same skills of observation, attunement, and communication as a therapist. I feel fortunate to be able to connect these disciplines in the service of others.
