In my 30 + years as a therapist, I have had the honor of helping many people overcome negative patterns and make meaningful, positive changes in their lives through self-reflection, insight, and behavioral interventions. People with depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges feel supported, understood and respected in our work in individual, couples or group therapy. Sometimes you may feel that your life is at odds with how you wish to see yourself and yet you can't quite figure out what the next step should be. Or maybe you long for closeness and intimacy yet you're afraid of it.

My therapeutic orientation is guided by a psychodynamic, relational approach that emphasizes trust-building and collaboration. I draw on a range of modalities to meet my clients’ needs, including narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioral, and motivational interviewing techniques. I believe treatment should be rooted in a client’s strengths and network of relationships. My approach is anchored in Liberation Health with an explicit anti-oppressive, intersectional, feminist lens, including identifying the emotional and somatic impact of systems like capitalism, racism, heterosexism, and classism.

I am passionate about helping my clients create positive change in their lives. In my career, I have helped people from all walks of life who struggle with depression, anxiety, symptoms related to traumatic experiences, self-esteem issues and biologically based mental illness. Even though their stories and lived experiences varied, each sought support because they wanted to feel better, decrease their sense of isolation and increase positive coping skills. I love to help my clients discover their inner strengths, increase their feelings of personal safety, deepen their sense of agency and reclaim ownership of their lives.

Psychotherapy helps people face what is difficult in their lives. Beyond providing relief and support, growth in therapy leads to increased agency and purpose, more satisfying relationships, and to greater spontaneity and flexibility. I see people with complex histories who present with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I am engaged, committed and practical in my approach to helping people. I continue to train in experiential dynamic therapy models, which help clients access emotions and outgrow longstanding and broken coping strategies. These models include AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples) and ISTDP (Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy).

We all struggle with something - our work, our relationships, even ourselves. Often, we are not aware of the obstacles keeping us from living a satisfying life. Asking for guidance can be scary or intimidating, but why suffer alone? Therapeutic work can provide a secure environment to discover creative solutions to life’s frustrations and become aware of our unconscious mind.

As a therapist, I believe our past experiences inform our present: they shape what we see in ourselves and the world around us, and influence how we relate to others. However, I also believe they do not determine our future. This idea serves as the foundation of our work together. My approach involves helping you identify your values, utilize the strengths you already possess, and develop your vision for a life worth living. I assist in examining how our interpersonal relationships can establish and reinforce maladaptive coping, and help to replace what no longer serves you with a fresh perspective and new skills.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to explore their patterns, thoughts, and unique stories. They may be struggling with anxiety or depression or haven't fully processed traumas and attachment issues in their lifetime. This ideal client may be detached from their emotions, have a hard time letting go, or find it difficult to experience joy. This person is motivated for change and seeks more insight about themselves.

If you are struggling with parts of your identity, sexuality, trauma, grief or mental illness, know that you are not alone. It is an honor and a privilege to bear witness to your truth and story. I specialize in providing compassionate and nonjudgmental support to anyone who has ever felt marginalized or "othered" and is seeking personal growth and healing. My practice embraces the unique experiences of the individual and I hope to offer a safe space for exploration and empowerment. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding and honoring the individual journey so I work primarily with individuals and situationally with couples.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to work with me in order to achieve their goal. This includes being able to have back and forth conversation around ways to achieve that goal, as well as have the more difficult conversations when it comes to road blocks and the occasional self sabotaging behavior.
