Over the past 25 years, I have worked with adults and teens who are curious about exploring the deeper emotional and relational experiences that shape how they think, feel, and connect with others. My approach draws from psychodynamic, humanistic, and philosophical teachings that are insight-oriented, with the belief that lasting change comes from understanding the underlying patterns that influence our lives. Together, we will explore your individual life story with sensitivity and curiosity, and through this process, grow in your capacity to accept life's joys and challenges with greater freedom, authenticity, and resilience.
Whether you feel frustrated by what you see as recurring patterns, burdened by the weight of anxiety or depression, troubled by the effects of trauma, wishing to reduce reliance on substances, or dealing with a life transition, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and better understand yourself.
I support those that wish to explore and possibly change the ways in which they show up for themselves and in relationship with others. I have an approach that is nonjudgmental without abandoning sound judgement, and compassionate while finding ways to apply new insights in a practical manner. I would be glad to connect and discuss how we might work together

I work from a foundation of psychodynamic thinking, which attempts to get to the root of the issue and focuses on one's internal experience. I then to apply new understandings and insights in a practical way that acknowledges the realities of one's external world. I also incorporate philosophical ideas, drawing from centuries of knowledge about the human condition.
