We all are in relationships with others, and these relationships affect and change who we are. I look forward to exploring these relationships, past and present, and how they have shaped you. I’m interested in helping my patients gain insight into their relational patterns. I have received advanced clinical training and a certificate from the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute in child psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
My way of working therapeutically is based on understanding your relationship to others and how it impacts your own view of yourself. I use a reflective and insight based approach to therapy and I pay close attention to the relationship between the therapist and client. I specialize in working with children who identify as trans and gender non-conforming.
If you are interested in setting up an initial consultation with me, feel free to reach out.
