As we travel through the present moment we are always also influenced by the past. This may feel confusing, frightening or even damn-near impossible at times. Who am I? What am I doing? Where am I going? These are just some of the questions we ask ourselves - the ones that keep us up at night. While I cannot answer these questions for you, through Psychoanalysis I can offer you the space to safely explore these questions and support you through your journey into yourself - with all its twists and turns.

I consider it a privilege and an honor to work with people who want to find balance in their lives. People come into therapy seeking help for a variety of problems. You may be in severe pain, suffering the effects of trauma, stressful events, ruptured relationships or addiction problems. You may need help to achieve healthy emotional boundaries with friends, loved ones, co-workers. Perhaps you wish to live a more full and satisfying life. While I typically draw from psychodynamic, family systems and relational/humanistic approaches, I am very flexible and tailor my approach to each individual.

Therapy can be a dynamic, interactive process of deepening your connection with yourself and others, exploring your identity, and redefining your life’s purpose. I am committed to supporting people who have decided to look inward, which can be a fascinating, challenging, and rewarding ongoing experience. I work with individuals and couples as they navigate transitions, consider life choices, search for meaning, process relational trauma, and learn to communicate more deeply. Many of my clients identify as highly sensitive and/or are impacted by neurodiversity (ND individuals, ND/NT couples, and parents of ND kids/teens).

Tired of your life being hijacked by past trauma? You've worked so hard to manage the effects of trauma, but life still feels overwhelming. Maybe when things go wrong you believe it’s always your fault and so you choose to keep your life small. Maybe it’s just too hard to experience any peace or joy because you’re always protecting yourself emotionally from what might go wrong. Maybe it's too difficult to authentically connect to others. Together we’ll go deeper than traditional talk therapy to tap into the wisdom of your body, the various parts of your experience, the expansiveness of your mind, and the science of neurobiology.

The therapeutic process is about becoming most fully ourselves. The more we come to know ourselves in an authentic and true way, the more fulfilling our lives and our relationships become. Change occurs when there is a new understanding, not just in our intellectual mind, but in our bodies and spirits as well. This kind of work, though difficult, and sometimes painful, is also deeply rewarding. It can also seem like a scary idea to some, not knowing if making lasting change is even possible.
