You've been stuck before. You know there’s a way through, but it feels so hard right now. In times of pain, the inward journey may feel impossible. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents on trauma, grief and loss, substance use concerns, and parenting challenges. I love working with families and welcome everyone into the therapy room. Whether you are looking for short-term relief in the form of new coping tools or time and space for deeper exploration, I will work with you to identify what’s helped you in the past, what’s missing, and a path forward. In therapy and in life, I believe that change begins with new awareness of ourselves, new perspectives on our experiences, and new relationships with our own thoughts, feelings, and actions. Change magnifies when we bring this awareness into our relationships with family, friends, and community. In our sessions, we will work together to try out these new perspectives. I came to therapy as a second career after many years in the corporate world, following my heart to help people struggling with substance use, trauma, and family fractures. Through my personal and work experiences, I've seen that even when the struggle is deep and all-encompassing, new perspectives will come that light sparks in the places you are stuck. I will be your witness as you search for and encounter those new ways of seeing and find a path that does not lead you back to the same stuck place. Using tools from a variety of emotion and cognitive-focused approaches—always with a trauma and attachment-informed foundation—we will work together to: Quiet your thoughts, ground your nervous system Make sense of your inner experience Witness the parts of you that have not been able to feel or speak Untangle the past and weave the present into a more coherent whole Find hope and nurture it into change Connect with your heart, connect with others In family work, we will clarify the stuck patterns and try out more helpful ways of communicating and relating, with an emphasis on acceptance, validation, and mutual support.
