At times you may feel too depleted to consider making needed changes in your life, or to know what is even possible to change. Old coping mechanisms no longer work so well, bringing diminishing returns and unhappiness. It may take a crisis to be ready to seek help. Psychotherapy can reveal ways of replacing the behavior patterns and symptoms that cause us trouble with real solutions. Using the insights of existential and psychodynamic perspectives of psychology - including dream work - as a basis, I will help you understand yourself, care for yourself, and discover strength and meaning wherever you may find yourself in your life.

I believe that therapy begins with the building of a strong, honest, and collaborative relationship. Through the creation of this alliance, it becomes possible to discover a client-centered focus for treatment and to engage dynamically in the therapeutic process. I see therapy as a space for healing and growth, co-created and nurtured by both client and clinician. My practice is psychodynamic, relational, and at its core holistic, recognizing and integrating the biological, psychological, and social aspects of experience, as well as the individual, institutional, and cultural roots of issues as they arise.

I specialize in working with clients who have experienced childhood trauma, domestic/intimate partner violence or relationship challenges, chronic pain/illness, and substance use issues. I also appreciate the beautiful tangents, metaphors, and insights from my work with neurodiverse clients. Much of my work focused on helping clients examine how trauma has shaped their lives, decisions, & current circumstances and find ways to heal.

In a world that can feel increasingly polarized, our conversations make a difference in how we go on. Each interaction shapes the possibility for bringing us closer together or pushing us further apart. As we feel more understood, respected, and capable, we can turn towards one another with more compassion and capacity for connection. I offer a curious and non-pathologizing approach to creating our conversations. Together, we can put language to your experiences and make new meaning of pain, trauma, and grief. Tangible transformations in our lives and relationships are possible when we feel most connected to ourselves and to others.

I knew I found the right therapist when every mask I brought to session was accepted so much that I finally felt comfortable enough to not put one on anymore. I feel that therapy should be the space where you can bring your whole self and feel seen, heard, acknowledged, and appreciated. It can also be the space where you discover, reconstruct, and understand yourself. The work to achieve these goals and your specific goals can be heavy, exhausting, and scary. That's where I come in! By prioritizing the therapeutic relationship, we will move through the stages of awakening, awareness and action, so you won't have to do it alone.

Therapy is about relationships. Whether we are creating personal healing through the therapeutic relationship, changing the way we interact in romantic partnerships, at work, or with family, or shifting our relationship with trauma and other past wounds, we are creating a new space where empathy and compassion can grow. When you make the choice to begin work in therapy, it is a radical act of love, both for the self and for others, and you can expect our work together to reflect this. I work with clients from all backgrounds, but have particular connection to the LGBTQ+, polyam/CNM, kink, artistic, & neurodiverse communities.
