Whether you wish to gain clarity about a life challenge or seek to resolve a deeper change from within, our work together will present an opportunity to rework the patterns that may be disrupting your relationships or preventing you from fulfilling your life goals. I have advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, viewing our therapeutic relationship as central to the change process while helping you understand how past conflicts affect how you feel in the present. I approach our work together from a genuine, empathetic stance with openness, humor, and curiosity. It is important that we are partners in your healing process.
My clinical expertise focuses on trauma, attachment, grief/loss, relationship dynamics, and working with those within the adoption triad or misattributed parentage. My clinical work is informed by advanced training in trauma-focused treatment, neuroscience, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and attachment theory.
As an adoptee, genetic genealogist, and psychotherapist - I have a deep understanding and passion for working with individuals navigating complex emotional, identity, and relationship issues related to unexpected DNA discoveries (NPE), domestic and international adoption, or donor conception.
