Schedule a free 15-minute consult with this link (www.shorturl.at/lKVZX). I believe that healing happens as we experience healing relationships. In our time together, we will work to build a trusting therapeutic alliance. To be present in the work is not easy. However, the therapeutic process can be a mirror for how you show up for yourself — as we build safety and capacity in the therapy room, you may simultaneously realize that you hold much more safety and capacity within yourself. Together, we will work to find your inner sense of safety and self-compassion, and new ways to transcend the obstacles that are holding you back.
I am drawn towards issues such as PTSD and trauma, and have worked with survivors of sexual assault, violence, and religious/political persecution. I have also worked with LGBTQ+ individuals, first and second-generation immigrants, TCKs, and veterans. I welcome conversations about intersectionality, identity, and how our difference/sameness affects the work.
I work primarily from a relational and psychodynamic lens, meaning we look at how narratives and beliefs from your past inform your current patterns. We will also focus on the here-and-now and notice what is happening in the therapy room.

I primarily come from a psychodynamic perspective, with a focus on relational theory. We will look at how unconscious beliefs manifest in your relational patterns, including what is happening between me and you. Our work is insight-oriented, and we look at the ways in which your past lives in the present. I also utilize existential and mindfulness frameworks.
