“In a world in which we experience such deep desire and such great grief, we find coursing through all of it our unquenchable longing to be known.”
Curt Thompson, MD

Loss, pain, conflict, and transition impact everyone’s experience of being human. While we deeply desire for the understanding presence of others to guide us in these moments, we often feel like we don’t have the support we need. Our complex and unresolved experiences can make our days feel exhausting, disrupt the way we want to care for our bodies, and keep us feeling lonely even in our closest relationships. We are all worthy of being safe, known, comforted, supported, and cherished — and sometimes we need a trained companion to help us access and learn to ask for these basic needs to be met in our lives.

As a counseling intern in couple and family therapy and clinical mental health, I specialize in helping individuals and couples to make sense of their unique stories, identify their distressing patterns, and grow into more satisfying relationships. My work with clients is grounded in attachment science, which focuses on the core organizing factors that shape how we understand ourselves and others. I use non-pathologizing experiential and relational techniques to help clients experience new ways of connecting with themselves and others. My areas of emphasis include anxiety, depression, forgiveness and reconciliation, grief, infidelity, life transitions, prenatal and postpartum issues, relationship issues, self-esteem, spirituality, stress, and trauma.

As an intern, I only offer reduced-fee counseling. If you or someone you know could benefit from this service, please give me a call or send me an email to see if we might be a good fit for one another. I will be honored to hear from you and to participate in your healing.
