We all encounter times in life when we just feel stuck and overwhelmed, sometimes unsure of why we feel this way and unable to move forward. Psychotherapy helps us to achieve a sense of well-being and make changes in our lives. My goal is to maintain a safe and supportive therapeutic process, which will allow you to achieve personal growth. I utilize a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies with components of mindfulness and solution-focused approaches. I work with adults of all ages and older adolescents. My primary areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, and related challenging coping patterns.

I provide individual psychotherapy from a psychodynamic perspective. This means that therapy focuses on getting to know you in a deep way--your history, your needs, your strengths and weaknesses, and how you'd like to lead your life. Really, we're both getting to know you, since this type of therapy serves to help you get to know yourself in a new way, and to help you use new insights to better address problems in your life. This isn't the old-fashioned Freudian silent treatment! It's relatable, evidence-based, trauma-focused, and produces long-lasting change.

Beyond that, you'll discover the story you unconsciously believe about who you are and what you're worth, and find out how it steers your life. Then, we build up the story--and life--you prefer, which is waiting inside you.

I offer a compassionate environment in which to heal and transform, beginning with embracing what IS, which allows for a more relaxed, gentle, clear and effective approach to our difficulties. Much of our emotional suffering stems from a disconnection from ourselves and our relationship with life. The work I offer facilitates a deep, authentic connection with oneself through somatic, experiential and psychodynamic work, self-inquiry, mindfulness and the support of the therapeutic relationship. Essentially I see that each person I work with has the full potential for healing already on board. We work to uncover and access that, so that full aliveness is restored.
