Openings on Monday and Tuesdays! Are you your harshest critic? Do you find yourself annoyed about your sensitivity or the feelings that come up from time-to-time? Welcome. I work well with folks looking to lead a life with more honesty, flexibility, and hospitality for their emotional experience. By challenging black-and-white thinking, harsh narratives, and helping you with meaning making around your emotional experience and responses, therapy provides an opportunity allow you to connect better with yourself, and those in your relational orbit.
As a radically candid and deeply human practitioner, I strive to offer collaboration and attuned exploration rather than quick solutions to the complex issues that bring you to therapy. I work from a relational psychodynamic stance that views relationship as the avenue for tending to the wounds and stories we carry. Our connection is an asset to the process.
Pursuing change is a brave task. If you've found resonance on my page or feel any questions stirring, I'd love to connect. Please do not hesitate to reach out about setting up an initial session!

I work with folks looking to find new ways to be in relationship with themselves and those around them. By delving together into the narratives, experiences, and relational dynamics that feel sticky, we will be able to find new understanding, a bit of softness and a way of being that is more flexible and less self-critical.
