In my view, it is never too late to look within oneself and create the change that fits who you are, not who you think you should be or who you have been in the past. It is my goal to create safety by providing a compassionate and open space to explore together what your particular needs are and how I can best be of help to you in meeting those needs. Clients frequently come in with life transition or relationship issues, they might be experiencing a troubling set of symptoms or notice patterns that keep getting in their way. I deeply respect the courage it takes to take that first step toward change.
I offer a wealth of experience to my clients. With deep roots in psychodynamic, developmental, and relationship or attachment-based perspectives, I am deeply curious and open to learning new ways of understanding and working with clients, including EMDR, and Somatic approaches (managing nervous system responses to trauma and stress).
Congratulations on taking that first step toward knowing yourself better and making the change you desire.

The ability to pay for therapy should not prevent people from getting the care they need. If I am in network with your insurance, I bill the insurance directly. If not, I can provide a "superbill" for clients to send in for reimbursement and/or negotiate a rate that works for both of us.

Clients frequently have symptoms of anxiety, depression and trauma. Often these are related to the client's family or relationship history, a life transition or to a really difficult experience. During our initial sessions, we will work together to understand how these symptoms developed and create a plan to address them. Most clients experience sustained improvement over time.

I use a number of different modalities in my work, but in my experience, it is important to fit the modality to the client and their issues, not the other way around. I feel that I am always learning, and I aim to provide compassionate, quality care by creating a safe place for clients to share their histories and issues from the very first session, so that I can taylor the approach to their needs
