Life can sometimes become so overwhelming that we feel depressed, hopeless, anxious, emotionally flooded, and confused. Whether you are dealing with a transition in life, work, or a relationship, or if you are feeling lost and having trouble finding meaning in life, my aim as a therapist is to help you face your challenges in a collaborative and curious space. In this space you can speak freely, and I will listen attentively and without judgment. Together, we can explore your emotions and dreams, gain insight into your thoughts and relational patterns, and envision a more authentic and joyful life in the future.
My approach is psychodynamic, meaning we will make connections between past experiences & present concerns. By getting curious about unconscious parts of ourselves, we can gain insight into how they drive our lives and impede us in our goals. I offer a space to deeply explore symptoms, meaning, dreams, motivation, relationships, self-esteem & identity.
I invite you to take your next transformative step and share your story with me. I hope to cultivate a therapeutic space to meet your unique needs. I work with adults & adolescents of all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions & abilities. I look forward to connecting when you are ready to take this step.
