Do you notice that you struggle with the same kinds of problems, emotions, and relationships over and over again? Have you tried different coping skills without success? Do you turn to things like substances, unhealthy relationships, or mindless internet scrolling to take the edge off sadness, anger, fear, or loneliness? Explorative, insight-oriented, in-depth psychotherapy can help you understand and finally transform these dynamics, increasing your well-being and sense of self. This lasting change offers an opportunity to expand your world.
Through a consistent and compassionate process of trust-building, I offer clients a safe environment to explore, understand, and transform the root cause of their difficulties. This can help you learn how to calmly understand your emotions and problems instead of reacting. I work best with smart and creative people who are tired of getting in their own way.
I have worked with clients experiencing addiction, complex medical problems, trauma, guilt, low self-esteem, grief, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I have 6 years of experience working with patients at Barnes-Jewish hospital. I enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ people, health care professionals, academics, and students.
