I am a therapist for therapists specializing in complex trauma, existential anxiety, self-harm, and substance use. As a mental health professional, you may present as successful, but you might feel ashamed or unsettled in life. You might also experience fears about your capacity to support clients or manage your emotional well-being. You probably "know" the right coping skills and "have the insight" about what to do, but you're seeking deeper introspection and hoping to resolve deep inner conflicts. You're also open to engaging in a meaningful relationship where you can explore some of the more tender issues in life.
I treat therapists from person-centered and psychodynamic frameworks. I have extensive training in complex trauma and its many complex symptoms. I'm the author of two therapy books and have an extensive background in consulting and speaking with other therapists. Finally, if you enjoy memes, I own and manage the popular psychotherapymemes page on Instagram.
I believe a therapist's genuine compassion offers a dynamic catalyst for change. Building a trusting relationship takes time and generally entails honoring strong, protective defenses. I strive to respect the pace of this process. My goal is to embrace all parts of you. While we can't undo the past, connection offers meaningful hope for the future.
