Have you been depressed, anxious, or feeling bad about yourself? Maybe you’re tired of this, and want to get to the roots of these feelings, so you can heal. Often present symptoms are built on traumatic past experiences, the feelings associated, and the narratives and strategies that you created to make sense of it all. I believe healing comes when you examine these experiences, feel the feelings in a safe, caring environment, and view these experiences in a fresh, more accurate, more compassionate light. You can then rewrite the narratives that have held you back, and start to try out all sorts of new things in your life.

I work with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and traumatic experiences. Together we’ll help you understand yourself and your experiences with depth and kindness. I have advanced training in psychodynamic therapy and in MBSR (mindfulness skills), and I think these tools, in a caring therapeutic relationship, can help a lot.

I’d like to help you. Deciding to talk to a therapist isn’t always easy, so I work to make it as comfortable as possible. My approach is warm, accepting, thoughtful, and eclectic. And I believe that all of us - including you - have a spark of potential that’s greater and more powerful than our struggles. I welcome you contacting me!

Painful experiences can cause us to doubt ourselves, and feel like we're not good enough. That feeling in turn can cause depression, anxiety, or shame. It can also make us get smaller, quieter, less fully ourselves. We'll explore these formative experiences using psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness techniques to help understand them, be compassionate toward yourself, and make positive changes.

I often use psychodynamic approaches to help you understand deeper, long term patterns in how you feel about yourself or relate with others. This can help us identify emotional experiences, narratives, or beliefs that hold you back. We can then talk about new things you might try in your life, as experiments. And if you're interested, mindfulness skills can help you tolerate difficult experiences.
