my services
adult psychotherapy & consultation
My work with adults has centered on helping people find their way through deep emotional pain — grief, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the exhaustion of patterns that no longer serve them.
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and emotion-focused therapies, with specialized training and certification in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). I bring curiosity, compassion, deep listening, and close attention to the emotional and physical experience of each person.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of accompanying people through periods of profound change — creative space for greater self-understanding, meaningful connection, and emotional freedom.
reflective practice mentoring
As a Reflective Practice Mentor endorsed by the California Center for Infant-Family and Early Childhood Mental Health, I have supported professionals in slowing down, reflecting deeply, and staying connected to the emotional heart of their work.
Reflective practice creates space to consider not only what is happening in our work, but also what is happening within us as we do it. It invites curiosity about our responses, our relationships, and the experiences we bring into our professional lives.
My own approach is grounded in presence, deep listening, and thoughtful inquiry.
early childhood consultation
Earlier in my career, my work centered extensively on early childhood mental health. I provided clinical services, consultation, training, and reflective support for parents and professionals working with infants and young children and their families.
This work deepened my understanding of the profound importance of early relationships and the ways in which a child’s emotional life unfolds within the context of family and community.
Although my professional focus has since evolved, this early work continues to inform the way I understand relationships, development, and the human capacity for change.
come home to myself retreat
Come Home to Myself grew from a desire to create a quieter kind of space for women in the mental health professions — a place to step outside the roles and responsibilities they so often hold for others.
The work was designed around restoration, reflection, and reconnection with one’s inner life. Depending on the person, this might include time in nature, reflective conversation, or simply the spaciousness to slow down and listen inward.
At its heart was a simple invitation: to pause, turn toward oneself with kindness, and listen for what is asking to be tended.
