The people I work with often come to me because they are looking to gain insight into emotional patterns, address difficult dynamics, and develop more balanced relationships with themselves or others. Together we paint a picture of their life stories, work to integrate the various aspects of themselves, and move towards the life they want to be living. We take the time to explore the context and history of the problem or symptom they are experiencing in order to better address it. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds and promote authentic expression and reflection in the therapy room.
I utilize an integrative approach to psychotherapy which places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. My orientation is primarily insight oriented (psychodynamic) and I integrate attachment theory, existential-humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, multicultural, and feminist modalities.
When starting the journey of psychotherapy or psychological assessment, it is important that you find a good fit. I am happy to speak more about your specific needs and preferences through a phone or video consultation, free of charge. I look forward to connecting.

My approach is primarily relational and insight oriented. This means that I place emphasis on the importance of the unconscious and underlying emotions that inform your interactions with yourself and the world. I have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and have enriched my practice with training from psychoanalysts, cognitive behavioral therapists, and trauma/somatic informed practitioners.
