My practice focuses on helping people with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, PTSD; individuation within the framework of psychodynamic psychotherapy. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents (18+), adults, couples, and people involved in the arts. Childhood experiences and relationships with one's family of origin influence an individual's personality and provides a template for future relationships. It can therefore be fruitful to understand via therapy that your family relationships are not destiny. I believe therapy is a psychological and spiritual journey, requiring empathy, patience, and validation of feelings.
In addition to my Master's degree in psychiatric and mental health nursing(Clinical Nurse Specialist), I am a graduate of the three year advanced training program at the Boston Institute for Psychotherapy and the two year program at the Psychoanalytic Couples and Family Institute of New England. Though I am a advanced practice nurse, I do not prescribe meds
As an artist(photographer, crafts), I find it enriching and healing to incorporate poetry, literature, and lyrics of songs and other art forms into therapy as a metaphor for understanding the issues people bring to therapy. More than half of my clients are artists. I very interested in personify theory. I am also available to supervise clinicians.
