Maybe you’ve found yourself in a repeating pattern and want help in gaining understanding and freedom. We’ll wade into the possibility of working together one step at a time. With 25 years of experience guiding teens, adults and couples through life’s challenges, I provide a warm, attuned, and supportive space to explore what’s holding you back. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions.
My psychoanalytic approach places an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. This allows for a real time understanding of relationship patterns, emotional blocks, and unconscious dynamics. We’ll also work together to discover practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
I offer a free initial consultation appointment. You're welcome to learn more about me from my website. Let's find out if we could be a good fit.
