Specializing in anxiety, adjustment issues, trauma, I am concerned with issues around relationships, identity, life transitions, parenting and grief.
We're all seem more anxious right now than ever, trying to navigate everything that is happening in our lives and our world. It's easy to get out of balance, hard to navigate our own lives and many things feel beyond our control. Drawing on my experience and training in existential philosophy and contemporary psychodynamic therapy...a compassionate rigorous insistence on taking responsibility for oneself, we’ll try to make sense of all this, navigating habits and patterns you keep falling back on; finding connections to the things you feel are most important in your life.
