Adults I provide mental health counseling for individuals in a wide variety of age groups and backgrounds, dealing with a range of issues. These include major life events and transitions, grief and loss, relational challenges, and complex mental health conditions such as personality disorders and psychosis. I have additional training and certification working with trauma, and frequently work with issues involving immigration, multicultural relationships and families, and racial identity.  

Teens I work clinically with individuals age 13 and up, while collaboratively working with parents in a supportive role.

Couples My approach is to not view either person in a relationship as the problem, but to provide care for the relationship itself while addressing communication, unmet needs, emotional regulation, and discovering the interactions between the relationship and the stories and backgrounds of each partner. 

Families I work with families to facilitate communication and provide a safe space to explore difficult topics and experiences. 

My approach to counseling is to cultivate a safe, collaborative, and creative space where we can explore together. I work with an emphasis in depth psychology, drawing from relational psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theory. I'm also trained and experienced in applying solution-focused approaches based in cognitive behavioral and somatic work. I will work with you to develop a therapeutic approach that meets your needs and provide transparency about the process of therapy. Much of my training also includes in-depth engagement with your story and providing care for experiences of trauma and abuse. Through building awareness and finding connections, we can work together towards meaningful change.

I believe that positive change and healing can occur through relationships. Effective therapy relies most importantly on the relationship formed between you and your therapist. I strive to be fully present during our time with each other, where you can be known and seen. We can accomplish great things as a team working together.
