I believe that people are naturally resilient, possessing a deep well of inner strength. Every experience, past and present, is relevant to therapeutic work, and I strive to create a collaborative space to explore the things that weigh us all down. I approach each session with empathy, curiosity and an open mind, and encourage you to approach your own relationships, thoughts, and day-to-day life the same way. My relational approach to therapy is strongly rooted in the psychodynamic tradition, integrating narrative, DBT, and mindfulness techniques to meet the specific needs of each person I work with.
I’m here to help you explore things that might be difficult, or examine specific goals or concerns. I encourage your feedback and honesty, and always welcome humor into the work. I have experience helping clients gain insight into a wide variety of issues related to depression, anxiety, grief, relationships, trauma, sexuality, and gender identity.
Therapy can offer a way to navigate difficult times in a way that makes life feel safer, more manageable, and more enjoyable. I aim to help you develop the tools you need to do so in a trusting environment. I am always willing to schedule an initial consultation at no cost prior to a first appointment.
