As you browse these listings, know that you are engaging in an act of courage & self-compassion. Though a part of you may be unsure, there is at least one part that brought you here. Perhaps it considers the possibility that you can be deeply heard & known; can trust & be trusted. The part knows it’s worth a try.
The patient-therapist relationship will be fundamental, acting as a window into the repetitive patterns that can keep us stuck. In psychodynamic therapy, we will use a somatic, trauma-informed approach to the unconscious roots of your emotional suffering, guided also by attachment-theory. Expect to laugh, cry, all of it.

It is not unusual to feel overwhelmed by life at times. Sometimes we simply do not have the tools to cope effectively. That is where I hope to make a difference for you. As a therapist my role is to support you without judgement, meet you where you are at, and respond to you with empathy. I will help you challenge thoughts and beliefs, identify unhealthy patterns and examine differing perspectives. Together we will start to uncover emotions, thoughts and behaviors together that may be keeping you feeling "stuck". I hope to support you in making decisions that will shift your relationship with yourself and others.

Today, we live in a fast-paced, stressful world. The hardships of balancing our work, education and personal time becomes increasingly hard to achieve. Our responsibilities continue to grow and the world around us is becoming so demanding. Sometimes, to cope we use resources which may, in fact, be harmful to ourselves. Addictions are often felt as shameful and concealed from others. We are all vulnerable to making decisions that are not always in our best interest. I am not here to judge you, but rather provide useful tools which will help provide opportunities for making healthier choices.

I specialize in working with people with histories of trauma and upsetting childhood experiences. Many present as successful, but they often feel deeply ashamed, unsettled and all around “not good enough”. They may experience traits of perfectionism, resulting in fears about their capacity to perform and manage their emotional well-being. Amid this discomfort, they aren't necessarily seeking to learn coping skills in therapy. They do, however, want to engage in an authentic relationship where they can be vulnerable, undertake deep self-exploration and heal the parts of them that may be hurting.
