Change is hard, especially when we feel stuck in old patterns, challenging relationships or unsatisfying careers . It can feel like a really lonely place to be. But you don't have to experience this alone. Therapy can help you make the changes you've been struggling to make on your own. We will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from the past and present, to understand the patterns that may be making you feel stuck on a loop. We will work to gain awareness and insight into barriers that may be standing in your way and preventing you from achieving your goals, while also identifying your strengths and how to use them.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family dynamics, self-esteem/identity & life transitions. I have training in Emotionally-Focused couples therapy (EFT) & practice with a psychodynamic framework and implement a relational approach as we dive into understanding where symptoms stem from and how to integrate different parts of ourselves.
Change can be something you want so badly, but also really stifling at the same time, which can sometimes make it feel impossible. Let's collaborate to create a more fulfilling and satisfying life for you to be living. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit!

A psychodynamic framework provides understanding about how our early relationships and family history shape who we are and provides a window into how these dynamics might be impacting our current relationships and influence how we may move through the world. My relational approach allows you to explore things that may be painful and use them in order to grow and build long lasting resiliency.
