My practice focuses on two distinct, though often overlapping populations: young children and their social/emotional development, and parents healing from various kinds of trauma looking to build more meaningful, joyful relationships with themselves and their families.

I love working with parents and young children because the first several years of a child's life are often the most formative in creating the basis for how they relate to themselves, others, and the world. As a parent, we are given the immense task of shaping these attachment styles and providing a predictable, nurturing, and stable environment for our child to thrive within. Transitioning to parenthood can be hard and scary, while bringing up a lot of memories from the past and anxieties about the future. Your and your child's mental and emotional health matter and there is support available. 

As a psychotherapist and a mother of two young children, I am committed to recognizing the power we have to create, sustain, and frame our lives. I believe in the healing potential of a safe and flourishing atmosphere for new parents, young children, and individuals to take the time to explore hopes and fears about pregnancy, childhood, and parenthood. 

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual and family. I draw from psychodynamic, relational, and developmental theories, with an emphasis on trauma-informed care. Together, we will identify your goals, build upon you and your family's strengths, and explore the obstacles and belief systems holding you back from achieving the best life possible for you and your family.
