I have the privilege of working with children (12+) and adults who are navigating various challenges in their lives. I am certified in Brainspotting, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy, and Neurofeedback. I have a particular interest in OCD, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and mood disorders. At the core of my counseling philosophy lies a balance between empathy and challenge.

Mississippi blues legend Robert Johnson recorded “Hellhound on My Trail” in 1937, singing “I got to keep movin’/blues fallin’ down like hail/and the days keep on worryin’ me/there’s a hellhound on my trail.” This song is a classic because most of us have experienced thoughts and emotions that seem both unbearable and inescapable. We try to run, but that feeling follows close behind, like a hellhound on our trail. People who call me seeking therapy are tired of running. They’ve tried to distract themselves, they’ve tried alcohol and drugs, they’ve tried psych meds and external changes to their lifestyle-and this thing keeps following

Psychoanalytic therapy is an invitation to speak, and to be heard, in the singularity of your suffering and truth. It affords a space for speaking to what has been repeating itself in your life, and what has been difficult or impossible to say thus far. In our contemporary world of standardized diagnoses and generalized treatments, I encounter your uniqueness as a person emerging from a particular conscious and unconscious history, as disclosed in dreams, fantasies, and the telling of your story.
