My ideal client is someone who acknowledges their approach towards challenges is no longer working for them, and wants to change. This could be a couple, struggling with communication and wondering why the same fight happens over and over. This could also be an individual who can't seem to get out of their own way and struggling to understand themself. This may also be a parent having issues with overwhelm and frustration. People behave in ways that keep them disconnected from themselves and others, and I am here to assist you in clearing the debris of your past, so you can face the present and future fearlessly.
I am here to guide you in connecting the dots between your current symptoms and your past. Working from a psychodynamic therapeutic orientation, I focus on early attachments, trauma, and experiences in hopes to uncover learned patterns of being that no longer serve you. This makes it easier to create new patterns to live an emotionally regulated life.
Being in emotional pain can be debilitating, and no one has to go through this alone. Let me be your fellow traveler on this journey of healing you are so bravely taking on. Let us work together to process choices, behaviors, emotions, and loss, so you can move through to the next chapter, because you have all the resources inside yourself to heal.

I work through a psychodynamic and relational based lens. In the first few sessions we will begin by going through an attachment interview to figure out how to best work together, based on your individual wounding and experiences. I take a collaborative approach with clients to establish goals that feel important for the work we will do together.
