Our experiences shape how we think, feel, and participate in the world. From individual personality, to family of origin, to cultural context, the interaction of internal and external can result in feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulty in relationships, or confusion about identity. Sometimes all that’s needed is short-term help that focuses on developing better coping skills, and other times deep, long-term, insight-oriented work is necessary to disentangle complex lifelong difficulties.
I focus on developing a trusting therapeutic relationship, which sets the foundation to process painful experiences and celebrate meaningful change. By exploring the richness of your internal world and your interpersonal experiences, we will gain insight into the underlying forces that influence the way you think, feel, and behave.
I will collaborate with you to manage overwhelming feelings, integrate traumatic experiences, and help identify and remove the obstacles that block your natural ability to grow. With new clarity, you'll be able to break unhelpful patterns, heal from psychological wounds, and move forward in your life with mindful intentionality.

I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective, which means that I focus on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. I emphasize the impact of family and childhood experiences on psychological development, dynamics of current interpersonal relationships, and the regulation and expression of emotions.
