Do you want to understand the stories that shape you? I take a strengths-based narrative approach to therapy, affirming your natural ability to reflect on your past experiences so you can move forward with new insight and agency. I often work with people around issues of self-worth, anxiety and depression, gender and sexual identity, intimacy, relationship issues, and self-expression. I see individuals as well as couples.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent a decade with storytelling nonprofit The Moth, where I helped people connect to one another and to themselves through telling personal stories. That experience has greatly shaped my approach to mental health; I aim to help you make meaning of your past experiences and to let go of old stories that no longer serve you.
I also believe that sometimes insight alone is not enough for true change to occur, so I draw upon an experiential, somatic approach - incorporating Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) interventions - to help you gain deeper awareness of your emotions and intuition.
