About Me

I have always been deeply curious about people: the stories we tell, the ones we hide, and the deeper dynamics beneath the surface of daily life. This is what drove me to study psychology, clinical social work, and to work as a therapist.I have over a decade experience in the field working with with children, parents, teens, adults, and older adults. In my private practice I work with clients ages 16 and up coming to therapy for a range of issues. I am also a certified clinical supervisor.In addition to my private practice I have spent over a decade working in the public sector offering therapy, case management, therapeutic work with parents, and short-term crisis intervention. Outside the therapy room I love a good TV series, a quality book, and swimming in the ocean.

Chronic Pain

After a decade working as a therapist primarily focused on trauma, a personal experience with chronic pain took me in an unexpected direction to understand more about the physiology of pain. Today one of my primary areas of focus is in treating chronic pain through a neurobiological lens. Integrating cutting edge research and treatments for pain within the context of a therapeutic relationship can significantly reduce and often eliminate symptoms. It's incredibly exciting to accompany someone in the process of making such a concrete and tangible change for the better.
In addition to other therapies that incorporate the body, I am trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), an evidence-based treatment for chronic pain and other stress related symptoms.
Treatment is highly individualized, understanding each client's pain experience, and collaborating to loosen the patterns sustaining the pain-fear cycle. If you suffer from chronic pain or other unexplained physical symptoms, you are likely a candidate for Pain Reprocessing Therapy, an evidence based method to rewire your brain and get out of pain. If it sounds too good to be true, I've been there.

Therapy

If you're at a crossroads in life that feels challenging, therapy may be a comfortable space to get curious, deepen your understanding of yourself, identify obstacles, and ultimately catalyze the change you desire. Whether you're coming to therapy to explore unexamined past traumas, to navigate tricky relationships, or to understand patterns that are preventing you from aligning with who you really are, I would be honored to accompany you.
I believe therapy is a collaboration: I bring the expertise of my professional training and clinical experience, while you bring the expertise of knowing yourself as no one else can.
While each individual comes with a unique set of challenges and aspirations, at the conclusion of therapy my clients consistently describe feeling deeper self-compassion and more authentically themselves.
I am trained in psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and mind-body approaches (including Somatic Experience, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga).
Each course of therapy is highly individualized, and together we navigate what different modalities can offer you.
