Often people begin therapy when feeling stuck and unable to move forward, or when they notice feeling disconnected, misunderstood, and alone. While the immediate issues that initiate therapy may differ, often the underying goal is to live a freer, more connected, and more authentic life.
I work from a psychodynamic and relational approach. This approach aims to work through deeply held beliefs and dynamics that hold us back from living and relating in the ways we truly want. When we start to understand ourselves better, we can feel more in control of our lives, more connected in relationships, and more generative.
I welcome all ages to my practice and have worked well with a wide range of presenting concerns. I work well with those who are new to therapy and those who may have had difficulties with therapy in the past. I believe true healing and self-exploration can only begin in the context of an empathic, nonjudgmental, and collaborative relationship.
