One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is being given the chance to forge connections with my patients. Within a strong therapeutic relationship, we work together to create and achieve treatment goals. I am passionate about helping patients work towards greater self awareness, self acceptance, and insight, while also using skills that result in symptom reduction, increased distress tolerance, and more meaningful social interactions. I conceptualize cases through psychodynamic and family systems lenses, and employ cognitive-behavioral and insight-oriented techniques as appropriate.
