You may be struggling through a painful time of life, but you’ve taken an important step by looking for support. As we begin our work together, you'll find words for your feelings, get to know yourself better and experience comfort in the presence of a trained professional. With this, you may find relief and be able to get moving again. I'll be fully present and curious alongside you, while sharing insights as they emerge. It gives me great joy to help people to feel stronger, more hopeful and able to tackle life again.
I am an LCSW with 4 years of post-graduate training in psychoanalytically-informed psychotherapy. I work with individuals who are 15 and older. I have particular experience working with people going through life transitions, and living with chronic health conditions, as I have a past corporate career in healthcare research.
The most important thing in therapy is a good relationship so please contact me for a complimentary consultation. If I'm not the right person, I'll try to refer you. If I am a good fit, with time and trust we can become partners to address what’s important to you.

If we worked together, we would begin with understanding what's been troubling you. Our path from there would be customized based on your goals. I often work from a psychodynamic perspective so that we're addressing problems from the ground up, though I will also bring in mindfulness, somatic and cognitive techniques to provide immediate relief.
