About

I work with emerging adults (ages 18-29) and professionals seeking to explore depression, anxiety, gender and sexuality, single-event, systemic and interpersonal trauma, eating disorders/fatphobia, ableism, self-esteem, intrusive thoughts, self-harm recovery, chronic pain/illness, creativity, and career and academic planning. We might be a good match if you often find yourself focused on the distressing feelings, body sensations, and thoughts that form in response to trauma and life’s challenges. Maybe you want to incorporate a mind/body approach to mental health, explore your attachment style, or learn new coping tools. We will work together to understand the circumstances of your mental suffering through a person-in-environment lens. Instead of asking "what's wrong with you?" I ask, "what happened to you or around you?" I am EMDR (eye movement-desensitization and reprocessing) trained and in the process of becoming certified. EMDR is a trauma-specific therapy. My style is a warm, non-judgemental, and conversational therapeutic atmosphere and believe no problem or topic is too big or small for therapy. If it matters to you it matters to me. I am happy to schedule a free 15-minute consultation with you to see if you connect with my style and to answer any questions you have.
