Stuck. Stranded. Suffering. Numb. I hear these words in my work with many if not most of my clients. They come to me looking for something similar to what you may seek. They want help with movement that leads to durable growth and change. In a compassionate, curious, and at times challenging relationship with clients, I aid folks to identify patterns among thoughts, feelings, and behavior. I work with clients to reach true insight, a new understanding that draws together the head and the heart. Insight promotes clients to access powerful strengths and wisdom and gradually turn new understandings into growth and change.
My focus on insight prioritizes helping you reach new understandings that involve both your reasoning and your feelings. Emotionally focused efforts prioritize the expression and management of a range of feelings. Finally, relationally driven efforts recognize the power of community and connection and value a shift from isolation to intimacy.
As a clinician at SLC Psych, I work among a group of wonderful therapists. Within this rich and rewarding setting, I am confident that I can help you reach relief from suffering, accomplish lasting growth and change, and do so in a powerful therapeutic process that will aid you in deepening many of your connections and your sense of community.

I often utilize psychodynamic therapy approaches, including an object-relations focus, an attachment focus, and an existential therapy focus. I often pair psychodynamic work with tenets from ACT, including values clarification and development of psychological flexibility, and EFT, with a strong focus on emotion. When working with trauma, I integrate EMDR among these approaches.
