Hi, I first want to welcome you to my practice and congratulate you on your courage! As a therapist, my goal is to provide a space for you to be authentically who you are without judgment. I provide support during the hard times, ask tough questions when necessary, and work with you to find practical solutions to your challenges. I aim to forge a deep and trusting relationship so that you feel comfortable discussing your most protected thoughts and feelings. There are no quick fixes, but developing the life skills, improving self-respect, and connecting deeply with loved ones are key in building wholeness in mind, body, and spirit!

Would you like to have a better relationship with yourself and with your body? I take a depth-oriented approach to helping you resolve early trauma, release shame, and develop a more secure way of relating to yourself and to others. The more deeply you understand yourself, the more you will be empowered to make healthier choices and live more present in the moment. I believe it is possible to connect to the joy in your life. As we work together in therapy, I will help you connect with your emotions, so they stop affecting your body, behavior, and relationships.

I strive to create a therapeutic experience that will enable you to live more freely and to be your true self.

I provide psychoanalytic psychotherapy which is beneficial to most people including those who have been unsuccessful in other therapies, those who find themselves stuck in frustrating, repetitive cycles that they cannot break and those who wish to better know themselves.

Psychotherapy provides a supportive environment in which a person can develop healthy coping skills and talk openly about aspects of life that may be causing distress. Facing one's struggles is not always an easy choice. Deciding to start therapy can be a positive step in the right direction to a healthier life. An environment that is empathetic and safe can help in symptom reduction.

What keeps you up at night? Anxiety? Depression? A fucked-up relationship? Or do you simply find that the world is spinning out of order? As Marshall McLuhan said, "We don't know who discovered water, but we know it wasn't a fish." The point is: it’s hard to see the whole picture when you’re in the middle of the picture. That's where therapy helps. Therapy offers you the chance to sift through your thoughts, feelings, and ideas in a safe and compassionate space. From there, a deeper consciousness can emerge. And with that consciousness comes the opportunity to create change.
