Hello! I am a postdoctoral psychologist working with adults and older adolescents who are seeking relief from symptoms of depression and anxiety, loneliness, low self-esteem, compulsive thoughts and behaviors, or a sense of being disconnected from themselves or their bodies. They may wish to work through confusion about aspects of their identity, untangle from self-defeating interpersonal patterns, or heal from traumas ranging from physical and sexual abuse to invasive medical procedures. I have a special interest in women’s sexual health and wellness and can work with those interested in exploring this vital dimension of living.
My perspective is grounded in the relational psychoanalytic tradition—I work collaboratively in the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship in order to explore psychological dynamics and build interpersonal resilience. My approach is also influenced by mindfulness practices geared towards increasing self-compassion and the ability to regulate emotions.
I aim to create a space where you feel safe sharing anything that comes to mind, and to help you develop a gentle attentiveness and responsiveness to your inner world so that you can express yourself and navigate relationships with greater clarity. My wish is to help you feel more grounded, alive, and fully engaged in the process of growth and fulfillment!
