Welcome! I specialize in trauma, relationship issues, and anxiety though I have experience with an array of diagnoses. I practice with the belief that the foundation of effective therapy lies in the strength of the therapeutic alliance – the collaborative and trusting relationship between you and I, where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, and where we work together to explore pathways to healing. Once this is established, I use an integrative approach, pulling mainly from trauma-informed psychodynamic theory and CBT.
