Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you’re a child struggling with school difficulties, a teen navigating anxiety or stress, or an adult facing grief, life transitions, or other challenges, you don’t have to go through it alone. I work with children, teens, and adults ages 7-80 who are experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, school difficulties, behavioral concerns, trauma, family stress, building healthy coping skills, and more.

You may look like you are holding it together, but inside your body feels tense, tired, or on edge. Past experiences may still surface through anxiety, grief, or a sense of not feeling safe, even when life seems calm. If this sounds familiar, you are not broken and you are not alone. I work with children, teens, and adults impacted by trauma, including medical trauma, who want relief and deeper healing. Clients often seek support for anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, family stress, grief, life transitions, or questions around identity, sexuality, or faith. Some simply want a safe place to feel seen and begin healing.

Something’s wrong, but you can’t quite name it. You've been going through the motions and somewhere along the line, the color started draining out of everything. You're not in crisis. But you're just... not okay. And you've been not-okay long enough that it's starting to feel normal. And it shouldn't. Here's what I can tell you after 15 years of doing this work: that feeling almost always has a source. Whatever it is, I've helped a lot of people find it and start building something that actually feels like living. You don't have to have it figured out before you call. That's what we do together.

I practice from a psychodynamic perspective, which means that I pay careful attentions to your relationships, feeling patterns, and unconscious assumptions.
Are you looking to make long-lasting changes in your life? Maybe you are noticing painful patterns in your life that seem to be repeating themselves. Maybe feelings of depression and anxiety have crept up on you, and you don't know how to make them stop. Maybe you're in a relationship that isn't right for you. Maybe you don't even know what "right for you" is. Maybe you're a caregiver who is trying to find some peace and calm in the middle of your stress. Or maybe you're just wondering if life is really supposed to be this hard. If that sounds like you, I think I can help.

As a therapist, I am always respectful and nonjudgmental. I hold on to the belief that change is possible even when my clients are less optimistic. I continue to study and learn. I have found that my clients can be my best teachers..   The ability to make changes begins with a safe environment. That is my job to provide for you. As the trust continues to grow, together we will work on whatever presents itself. Everyone comes with their own story and that is what makes this work so special.

Through psychodynamic psychotherapy I work with the conscious and unconscious, observing relational patterns of the past and present.
"Let out what is inside of you, for what is inside of you will save you". I believe this quote emphasizes the power of the therapeutic process: personal empowerment through self-expression, self-knowledge, and self-acceptance. In an ever-demanding, stressful, and confusing world, it's easy to lose sight of one of the most healing and fulfilling relationships one can have: the relationship with oneself. I experience therapy as a unique collaboration in which one is guided toward a more profound and restorative understanding of their individuality.

Do you find yourself unable to shut your mind off? Replaying past events or chronically worrying? Is your inner critic keeping you from finding confidence in yourself and security with your place in the world? Have you experienced emotional pain and confusion that keeps your past in the present? Are you struggling to build self-esteem or find self-worth? Has the stress from daily responsibilities compounded existing problems with depression, anxiety, or loss?

I work with patients (individuals, romantic relationships of all kinds, families, and groups) who struggle with crisis and long-standing emotional distress. Specifically, I address trauma, dissociative disorders, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and other types of suffering from a primarily systemic, relational, self-psychological psychoanalytic lens. Clients who benefit most from their work with me are motivated to come to understand the conscious and unconscious dynamics that keep them from living and relating in the way they most long to. I see clients at least once per week.

Do you struggle with feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and thoughts about not being good enough? Do you find yourself worrying about your intimate and platonic relationships? Do you often get accused of "overreacting" to a situation? You’re not alone! My approach is warm, interactive, and non-judgmental. Although flexible, I tend to use a combination of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), Person-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques.

I use a psychoanalytic/ psychodynamic approached informed by an object relations perspective.
I work with people of different backgrounds and cultures who desire a greater understanding of how to live richer, deeper lives while focusing on building more meaningful relationships with others. I help clients recognize how hidden thoughts and feelings can sometimes work in harmful ways, leading to dysfunctional outcomes. I encourage people to build confidence in their ability to be the authors of their own lives, and grow in their ability to understand past decisions while learning to change their life direction going forward.
