With deeper understanding of ourselves and our experiences comes an ability to intentionally navigate the world and live a more fulfilling life. Taking a psychodynamic approach to therapy, I work most effectively with those who want to increase their understanding of why they do what they do, and how past relationships (with themselves and others) influence current behavior, concerns, and "stuck points". It is with this new understanding that they can choose to change patterns that are no longer working for them.
I'm a generalist psychologist often working with concerns of anxiety, depression, relationships (including couples therapy), LGBTQ+ issues, masculinity and gender roles, identity development, life transitions, and family. I specialize in eating and body image concerns and approach therapy within a Health At Every Size (HAES) framework.
Psychotherapy can be a challenging, vulnerable, awkward, yet empowering and rewarding process- I would be honored to walk alongside you through your process. Feeling safe and comfortable with your therapist is foundational, so I invite you to reach out for a free brief phone consultation to see if we'd work well together.

I've noticed that therapy is most effective when people feel seen and understood. I anchor toward interpersonal/psychodynamic and multicultural/feminist approaches, but pull from other techniques as needed. My goal is not to rigidly adhere to a certain therapeutic approach, but rather to see you, understand you, and empower you to own your story.
