Deciding to reach out to a therapist is a brave first step. Therapy can provide a safe, collaborative space to share and examine your most sensitive problems. Together we can work to understand what gets in the way, how longstanding patterns, and your emotional experience impacts your relationships and functioning in day-to-day life. I specialize in issues related to depression, anxiety, relationships, and low self-esteem. I work with patients in once weekly sessions and sometimes on a more frequent basis, given my belief that change requires a deep commitment and consistency.

My approach to therapy is integrative, incorporating relational, psychodynamic and strengths-based perspectives, as well as cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based interventions.

Therapy can help you free up the “stuck” places in your life, the ways of relating to yourself and others that can feel self-defeating, limiting or out of your control. These ways can lead to distress that may come in many forms: anxiety, anger, emptiness, detachment. Yet these experiences are not only a source of suffering, they are also a message that speaks to desires, passions, conflicts, and pain. Together we work to understand all this and place it in the context of where you come from and the world you live in now.
