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.

It requires courage and commitment to engage in psychotherapy because it is not a treatment process with a quick resolution. I recognize that telling me important personal information about your experience - perhaps experience about which you will communicate for the first time - may feel very uncomfortable. Psychotherapy will only work if I can help you feel safe enough to talk about what matters so that together we can identify what is getting in the way of you making progress toward your life objectives.
