Therapy can empower us to live more fully and authentically. When we have our experiences heard and validated by another, it can enhance our understanding and acceptance of ourselves. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to effective therapy. Using a genuine, empathetic, and open stance, I aim to foster an environment where you will feel comfortable sharing whatever comes to mind. Working from a psychodynamic framework, I believe it is important to understand how our early life experiences impact our current emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
