I do my best to keep an open mind and to create an environment that is conducive to fostering open communication and trust. I respect and value the thoughts and feelings of my client's. I believe that therapy is, ultimately, about freedom and that healing occurs through the process of self-exploration, understanding, finding meaning and deepening one's insight. I tend to work directly and dynamically, rather than passively; I do a lot of listening and I am also active in the therapeutic role.

You already possess the inner resources and capacity needed to heal. At certain times, however, we all need help gaining access to that nurturing capacity: a kind of 'Assisted Self Discovery.' When our minds, bodies, & emotions are all supported together in a safe process of present-oriented exploration, the potential for change is remarkable. I utilize an eclectic approach. Each session is tailored to your unique needs & personal goals. Long-lasting symptom relief/decreased suffering & achieving a more fulfilling life are priorities that guide my work with clients.

Relationships are as important to us as food and water. They can strengthen us, like a vitamin, or weaken us, like the flu. You are only as good in relationships as the relationships you have been in. As your therapist, I can assist you in many ways. I can help you learn more about yourself, increase both self-compassion and compassion for others, and heal past trauma. Together, we can explore how to feel more connected to yourself, your values, and people you care about.

I help people who are dealing with: Job stress; heavy feelings surrounding break-ups; artists who have lost their spark and want to find it again-who are navigating between commercial pressures and the ability to have their true voices heard. Intimacy issues, trauma, and love & sex addiction issues as well as other addictive issues are a specialty. My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to unpack difficult feelings and to help facilitate emotional healing.

It may very well be that our deepest longing and need is for connection. To be heard and understood. To be known in places where many others are never allowed. To be more connected to the lost neglected parts of ourselves and those we care about. You have this opportunity in the safety of psychotherapy. It isn't always an easy road. Perhaps this sounds intimidating. Often it entails letting go of destructive habits or getting unstuck. We may need to look at old patterns and create new ones. There may be moments of laughing, crying, or facing hard truths.

I have 10+ years of experience working with individuals and couples. I've received extensive training in meditation, EMDR, attachment theory, and psychoanalysis. I've found that psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers the most profound and lasting path to healing and change. In psychoanalysis, we together tune our ears to listen intently to the unconscious. Why do that? Because inside the unconscious and the therapeutic relationship lie the patterns, emotions, and fragments of the undigested past that inhibit you in your love and work. Once we begin to know it and feel it, we can begin to transform it.

People refer to therapy as a science or practice-but I have come to view it as an art in the most exquisite form. Therapy is about expressing and emoting, and finding value in the internal and external relationships we create. My education and clinical experience has verified the depth of this "art," revealing knowledge that can be gained, healing of old scars, and magic that can ensue when self-love occurs. I am a firm believer that therapy is not a requirement for healthy living, but similar to music and film, it can add intrigue, deepen relationships, and significantly enhance the quality of life.

People come to therapy for a variety of reasons-- to manage stressful life transitions, to reduce psychological distress, or to increase creative potential and life satisfaction. My approach is warm, empathic and collaborative. Together we will help you to develop a better understanding of yourself in order to promote self awareness, personal growth and the capacity for authentic living.

In 2023 and beyond, my work ethic continues: Working together, we greet Pain and Suffering and ask "How will you serve my development?" Psychotherapy isn't about finding perfection, but pursuing wholeness and respecting our Self. It's simple. It's complicated. It can be very difficult, and and there are laughter and surprises to be enjoyed. Go for it: tend to your emotional to-do list, relationship overhaul/finesse, deep discovery, gather energy to take your journey to the next level. Mid-life? Starting out on your own? Starting/ending a relationship? Creative and stuck? Uncertain times require what we have— wisdom and creativity.

“How am I going to fail today?” you think as you lay in bed, searching for the motivation to get up. You dread the daily, self-confirmation that you’re lazy, undisciplined. No matter what you accomplish, it never feels enough. There is this nagging feeling in the pit of your gut reminding you to do more: lead more projects, volunteer for more committees, donate more time. There are no words to describe the exhaustion in your soul. What’s worse is that nobody understands how tired you actually feel. Not like you would let them know, as you wear the mask of “normal enough” well… except you can feel the facade begin to crack.

Are you struggling with worry or sadness related to painful patterns in your relationships? Do you feel that you are constantly striving for "better" and "more" in most aspects of your life, but often feel unworthy or not enough? Do you find that people pleasing depletes you and leaves you feeling burnt out? Many of these patterns are examples of relational coping styles that we adopted in early childhood as a way of adapting to the needs or demands of our family systems. These coping skills were helpful when we were children, but usually become frustrating stuck points in adulthood.

For over thirteen years, I've been seeing clients (both individuals and couples) and my goal has always been to help them achieve meaningful change, whether in getting through a difficult current situation or wanting to break old patterns that keep them from living a more fulfilling life. Some challenges I've helped people overcome include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, feeling stuck in a rut, grief, hopelessness, self-esteem issues, and work-related stress. Exploring these issues with a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental therapist can really help.

I’m passionate about working with women seeking self love, self compassion, romantic love and love for others. I enjoy supporting people to nurture themselves, accept their value and that caring for and healing themselves is a political act of resistance and decolonization. I often work with First Gen women. Exploring what parents (from around the world) brought with them- traditions, practices, ways of thinking, maybe intergenerational trauma and focusing on healing. With some people we'll do a deep dive into what it feels like to be you. Seeking therapy is a strength, an act of courage, a journey inward, outward, and forward.
