I believe effective psychotherapy is built on trust. When emotional engagement and support are established, the therapist/client relationship can work to facilitate recovery from many conditions as diverse as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, chronic stress, and even psychosomatic disorders. The work of therapy involves learning new ways of managing emotions, changing behaviors that contribute to problems, and challenging faulty assumptions often rooted in earlier experiences.

Responding to the ceaseless demands of contemporary life can draw us
into cycles of anxiety and depression. At times, it may feel impossible to
bear such pressures, leading to feelings of impasse or crisis.
Psychoanalytic therapy provides the opportunity to loosen the grip of these
demands by becoming curious about how they have formed us. In
examining our inner world, we can inquire about the ways we have suffered
and become more closely attuned to our authentic desires.

People come to see me to understand what's keeping them from having the life they want, or why they have trouble recognizing what they want from life.

Pain is an unfortunate reality of the human experience. Sometimes, our attempts to control or avoid pain, whether it's physical, psychological, or otherwise, also pulls us away from other things in our lives that are important to us, resulting in a less fulfilling life. Your decision to pursue therapy is a significant step towards finding a more workable way to manage the things in your life that cause pain. My therapeutic approach is focused on learning to step out of the struggle against your pain and use the strengths you already possess to put you in the driver's seat of your life and be your best and most genuine self.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and compassionate. I work actively in the here and now, paying close attention to the moment-to-moment shifts of the mind and how these shifts relate to perceptions of the present and to experiences from the past. By studying how your experiential world of emotion, cognition, and behavior is constructed and patterned, we can work together to find new ways for you to live, love, and relate in the world.

It's normal to feel overwhelmed when trying to manage the expectations we set for ourselves and that others set for us. Given the busy nature of our lives, there is little time to process what these expectations mean to us and why they can cause us distress. Therapy can give space for life to slow down, to limit distractions, and to keep the judgments of others out. By engaging in the therapeutic process, we gain an understanding of our values and how they inform our behavior and emotional well-being.

We are all human, yet each of our journeys are unique. The common thread, however, is that we all face challenges, whether they involve relationships, jobs, family, health issues or day-to-day stressors of life. Some challenges may seem manageable while others seem more daunting. The good news is that you don't have to go through these challenges alone.
My goal is to create a safe, trusting, and non-judgmental space where you can genuinely feel heard and seen. I believe in the power of connection and collaboration where I will meet you where YOU are at, with support, compassion and encouragement.

I work with people who live, in some way, on the edges of the dominant culture—people who don’t quite fit, who think deeply, feel deeply, and are often misunderstood in conventional spaces, including sometimes in therapy. My work is grounded in contemplative psychotherapy and Buddhist psychology and integrates relational, attachment-based, and mindfulness-based approaches. I have particular expertise in gender and sexuality, identity and life transitions, grief and loss, unconventional relationships and families, and the existential questions that arise when you are trying to build a life that actually fits who you are.
