I often work with people who want to feel more present, authentic, and connected in their lives and relationships but find themselves stuck due to unaddressed trauma, family and relational stress, or burnout that has accumulated over time. I work collaboratively with each client to shape an approach tailored specifically to their goals and what they need to move forward.
My approach draws on psychodynamic, existential, and trauma-informed frameworks, with a focus on depth-oriented work that seeks to understand not only what someone is struggling with, but why. I also consult and speak nationally on intergenerational trauma, family systems, personality disorders, and substance use disorders.
If you are seeking to understand yourself more fully, break out of patterns that have kept you stuck, and build a life that feels more meaningful and connected, I would welcome the chance to talk and explore whether we might be a good fit.
