I work with individual adult clients who are interested in exploring new ways to understand and meet the challenges in their lives. My approach is psychodynamic: meeting weekly, through in-depth dicussion in a supportive relationship, we focus on better understanding patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, both conscious and unconscious. We consider early life experiences and how they have shaped your sense of self and ways of relating to others. I see therapy as a mutual effort, between therapist and client, to better understand someone’s anxieties and struggles, and to support them in figuring out what they want.
I believe that we cannot understand our lives outside the context of our societies, cultures, and histories. My academic background in sociology and equity, and as a researcher in healthcare settings, informs my understanding of how systems of marginality and oppression shape individual struggles.
My clients bring a range of concerns, including relationships, parenting, sexual and gender identity, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, racism and other inequalities, intergenerational trauma, body image, work/career goals, feeling "stuck," and finding meaning in life. Reach out to schedule a session. I look forward to exploring how we might work together.
