About Me
I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist who works with both adults and children, with a special focus on supporting children, teens, and young adults. My approach draws on my training in Gestalt therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed somatic therapy (similar to Hakomi Method). I am also currently completing an intensive 18-month Functional Family Therapy training, further deepening my ability to support families in building connection and resilience.
Areas of Focus
I specialize in helping children and families navigate grief and loss, divorce, family conflict, peer and social pressures, eating disorders, and trauma. I frequently work with attention-related concerns, anxiety, and depression in children and teens (ages 6–18), as well as life transitions and identity exploration for young adults (ages 18–25).
In older adults I frequently support embodied processing of early family messaging around values, identity and relationships.
My Approach
I create a compassionate, collaborative space for healing and growth. I honor the unique beauty of of every individual temperament as it is shaped by historical and current social and family context. My integrative, body-based approach helps clients build awareness and resilience, develop emotional regulation skills, and strengthen family bonds.
