Therapy is a deeply collaborative, relational journey. I work alongside you to help you gain greater awareness and understanding of your experiences, patterns, and feelings so you can make desired changes and move towards personal growth. Primary to this work is my dedication to providing a safe and respectful space for you to explore yourself freely and without judgment. From navigating major life transitions like emerging into adulthood and midlife complexities to working through trauma and depression, I am a compassionate and direct partner on your journey. Curiosity and grace will be the fuel that drive our work together.
I work in an eclectic way borrowing from a variety of different therapeutic styles with a decidedly psychodynamic lens and somatic focus. This means that I help you connect your mind as well as your feelings to your body and trace patterns connecting your past to your present so that you can create a more intentional and meaningful future.
Working with clients to better understand and alleviate experiences of depression, anxiety and the impacts of trauma on daily functioning and their relationships is deeply meaningful to me. Prior to my work in psychology, I spent several decades in the arts and communications which has proved to be a fruitful foundation for my work as a psychotherapist.
