Congratulations! If you're checking out therapists that means you're doing something kind for yourself today. Whatever brings you here - anxiety, trauma (personal or collective), relationship struggles, career frustrations, stress about current events - it is my honor to provide you with a nurturing and supportive space to share. Together we can work to help you manage symptoms, identify what elements of your life are actually within your control, and learn to understand and connect with yourself on a deeper level.
My primary method is psychodynamic therapy - that means we'll look into the root causes of whatever issues you're dealing with today. We'll explore how early experiences and relationships impact you now, keeping in mind how systems and culture impact all of us. I also have training in mindfulness and pain reprocessing therapy to help treat chronic pain.
I have experience working with people from a very wide variety of backgrounds and life stages. I welcome people of all ages, racial identities, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, and religious affiliations to reach out to me. I'm available for supervision of LMSWs. I can't wait to meet you.

The first phase of therapy is mostly exploration - we need to get to know each other and build a strong working relationship. When you're ready, we can start diving a bit deeper. But keep in mind there is no one right way to do therapy - you are unique, and I will treat you as such, adjusting my methods and the pace of our work to suit your current needs.
