I utilize a modern relational and collaborative approach along with psychodynamic theory, CBT-based skills, and a host of trauma-informed/trauma-specific practices. My theory is that a combination of a deeper understanding of self, coupled with practical skills, can lead to sustained self-discovery and curiosity, desired personality changes, and relief. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle to regulate emotions and mood, are working through the impacts of childhood trauma in adulthood/young adulthood, are experiencing interpersonal issues, existential dread, anxiety, depression, and/or chronic suicidality.
I provide ongoing individual psychotherapy for ages 18+, crisis check-ins, and psychedelic Integration sessions. Additionally, I have valued experience working with Trans folks, BIPOC, LGBTQ folks, and polyamorous folks.
I have extensive training in modern psychodynamic/relational psychotherapy, CBT-based therapies, and a variety of evidence-based practices. My previous work experiences include Bellevue Hospital Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic, New York University Crisis Center, and John Jay College in New York City and Unity Psych ER, OHSU, PSU Adjunct, and PVAMC in Portland.
