My priority is to help clients lead a valued, fulfilling life. I work well with creative or insightful individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life decisions or transitions. In addition to working through specific challenges, psychotherapy is an opportunity for you to gain insight into why you act the way you do, explore who you want to be in the world, and better understand what you need in order to thrive. I feel privileged to do this kind of work with people.
My approach to therapy is integrative, meaning that I utilize techniques from several theories about how people change. I also incorporate wisdom from other disciplines, to the extent this is relevant for you. I believe that literature, philosophy, cultural values, and spiritual practices are profoundly important for personal growth.
I place great value on an initial consultation, which is free and without obligation, as a chance to get to know one another and help to determine the best approach for you. The video platform I use for this initial meeting is easy to use and secure. To set up a consultation, please click the "email me" button and send me a message.

I draw from a wide range of therapeutic approaches and research-based interventions in my work. But some of the principles I rely on most come from relational psychoanalysis. In this modality, I commit to being an authentic, honest, and compassionate presence in your life and together we try to make all things "talkable."
