“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
― Rumi
Many of my adult clients come to me wanting to overcome dysfunctional patterns of behavior, heal from trauma or abuse, or perhaps answer the larger existential questions about their purpose in life. My attachment-based somatic approach to therapy is centered in helping you achieve lasting acceptance as you deepen your self-understanding and expand your emotional resiliency.
Individual Therapy for Adults
I offer individual therapy for pre-teens (10 & up) that supports self-esteem and confidence during a time when emotions, friendships, and identity can feel confusing or overwhelming. Through age-appropriate, supportive conversations and personalized therapeutic activities, pre-teens can learn to better understand their feelings, trust themselves, and handle challenges with more ease. My approach also helps pre-teens build healthier peer connections by practicing communication, boundaries, and resilience in a safe, encouraging space.
Individual Therapy for Pre-Teens
The lifelong journey of self-exploration and self-understanding really begins to take shape during the teenage years. I help my teen clients find stability in their sense of self and identity amidst the rapid emotional, social, and physical changes they’re experiencing. By helping them form healthy relationships with their own emotions, identify their needs and communicate their boundaries, my teenage clients can weather the turbulence of their lives with groundedness and resilience.
Individual Therapy for Teenagers
Couples therapy with me is a collaborative, down-to-earth process where we slow things down and look at what’s really happening beneath the arguments or distance. I help partners understand each other’s nervous systems, attachment patterns, and protective responses—so conflict becomes a doorway to connection rather than a dead end. Together, we practice new ways of communicating, repairing hurt, and building a relationship that feels safer, more intimate, and more alive.
Couples Therapy
I help families understand the patterns beneath their conflicts—how stress, past experiences, and attachment needs shape the way everyone reacts to one another. Using a gentle, body-based approach, we slow things down so each person can feel safer, more regulated, and truly heard. From that steadier place, families can build trust, improve communication, and create more supportive ways of being together.
Family Therapy
My colleague, Abbie Balat, and I have created a skills-oriented interpersonal process group for boys ages 11–14 called The Middle Ground. This group focuses on emotional regulation, social communication, and building relational capacity through real-time peer interaction. In our individual work with this age range, we have consistently noticed a strong need for community and a safe container for boys to explore relationships with themselves and each other, especially in the age of social media.
The group is designed for boys who may struggle with emotional reactivity, shutdown, or navigating peer relationships, and who benefit from activity and body-based approaches rather than talk therapy alone. Group sessions emphasize safety, predictability, and connection, with opportunities to practice skills with same-age peers in a supported environment.
