Do you feel like you are waiting for your real life to start? I love talking through an existential crisis or sitting with thoughts and feelings you might think are unacceptable to share. In my view, real life begins when we see our dreams and fears for what they are, start taking responsibility for the choices we do have, and allow ourselves to begin feeling this life more fully.
I explore the details of your past to help understand the patterns emerging in the present. I encourage you to feel deeply into the moment, and I lean on the therapeutic relationship to better understand your relational life. In therapy-speak, I draw from psychoanalysis, Zen, and existential therapy in my work.
I have made many mistakes in my own life, and my therapy tends to be nonjudgmental and direct. I won’t tell you what to do, and I don’t think anyone is “bad.” My goal as a therapist is to understand, as closely as I can, what your experience of life is like. If that sounds interesting, give me a call.

I try to get to know my clients as fully as possible. I use the past to help explain the present, I explore the present moment with mindfulness techniques, and I explore the relationship between myself and my client to shed light on how my clients tend to relate to others.
