I work with teens and adults experiencing challenges with relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, vocation, questions of identity, or difficulties at work or school. My therapeutic approach is to meet clients where they are and to work together to discover personal insights that lead to a more authentic and purposeful life.
I engage clients with empathy, curiosity and care throughout their journey of self-discovery, exploring conscious and unconscious emotions at their own pace. To me, psychotherapy is a journey of individuation seeking healing and wholeness that can bring new perspectives to life’s problems that will ease psychological pain and suffering.
If you'd like to explore working together, reach out and let's talk. I offer free 15-minute phone consultations for us both to discover whether we'd be a good fit.

I use a psychodynamic approach to help discover what might consciously or unconsciously be contributing to challenges you're experiencing. In the first few sessions, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and focus on practices that help alleviate any suffering you may be experiencing now. We'll deepen our work together with a focus on self-compassion as you journey toward wholeness.
