I work with individuals and couples seeking to overcome depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, eating disorders, and relationship challenges. I often work with adult survivors of complex developmental trauma, such as those who grew up experiencing emotional abuse, neglect, or alcoholic family systems. I am also passionate about helping couples improve their communication and conflict resolution skills. I view relationship challenges as opportunities to deepen understanding and ultimately create greater emotional intimacy when navigated skillfully. I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds, gender identities and sexual orientations, and I enjoy providing culturally sensitive services to the LGBTQ+ community.
