Are you a chronic worrier? A people pleaser? Do you hear yourself saying, “What if...?” more often than you like? Do you feel the constant churn in your stomach or tightness in your chest? Is it uncomfortable just "being", not doing? Do you want to change but no matter how much you may understand about yourself, these patterns and behaviors persist? By bringing the wisdom of our bodies and the knowing of the subconscious into the therapeutic process we can reveal and release root causes, shedding the layers between who you think you are and who you really are, enabling you to live with a renewed sense of confidence and empowerment.

I work with clients of all ages, and I have considerable past experience with children, adolescents, and young adults. The main mental health needs I work with are anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and grief. I am here to support people in becoming their ideal selves, which involves truly evaluating our relationship with our self, our relationships with others, and balancing our ability for acceptance and change. There is no "arrival" at “wholeness”, but rather strengthening ourselves to both survive the hard and seek fulfillment.

I believe that the journey toward becoming authentically oneself is among the most important work we do. My practice focuses on creating space in which transformation is possible and old patterns can shift into something that allows for growth and possibility. Putting language to complex internal experiences, forging connections, and examining clearly and without shame or judgment the places where stuckness happens are often crucial parts of this process. I work with clients to explore all aspects of identity, focusing on gender and identity development but also intersections of experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, and dysregulation of mood.

Many people who have experience in therapy remain puzzled as to why they find it so difficult to change even after learning about the dynamics of their emotional suffering. Thinking processes can only take us so far and often are unable to instigate a deep psychological shift.
Unconscious processes, even brought into the light, will resist attempts to think them away. Imagination and the body are the home of the subconscious. It is in that world, that real and lasting change can transpire. Together we will attempt to get close and "withstand" conflicts of the mind rather than "understand" them.

I have a warm, calm and accepting presence and enjoy examining the work from multiple perspectives. I believe clinical work should help increase insight by finding connections between past experiences, the present moment and expectations of the future. My practice is informed by psychodynamic approaches, creating an open and flexible space that is responsive to changing needs. I incorporate metaphor, analogy, art, music, play, mindfulness and relaxation to more fully explore the self in moving toward expression and authenticity.
