If you're experiencing challenges with your sense of self, your relationships, or your emotional life, perhaps I can help. Together we'll search for a more complete and integrated understanding for why you're feeling the way you're feeling, and what may be fueling your emotional responses and needs. Therapy can be transformative, helping to shift the lens through which we see ourselves and the world to one that might offer us more compassion, hope, permission to explore new or more compatible directions, and encouragement so we can feel better.
I aim to provide you with a safer container to process your experiences. We'll get curious about the cause of your struggles, while strengthening resiliency, striving to bring you towards deeper self-knowing, authenticity, desired change, and relief. I additionally have an interest in working with LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent adults.
It can be so trying to find oneself stuck, exhausted, confused, powerless, unhappy, in pain, or overwhelmed. Please feel welcome to reach out; I offer a free virtual consultation as an opportunity for us to connect about what you're going through, and to see whether I'd be the right fit for you.

My therapeutic style is primarily informed by psychodynamic, attachment-focused, intersubjective, systems and mindfulness based modalities. I may also introduce parts work in session informed by IFS therapy, and DBT informed exercises for emotional regulation. The therapy I offer is a form of depth therapy where we go beyond the surface of experience to shed light on core difficulties.
