My work supports people who feel weighed down by shame. For some this presents as distressing thoughts, rumination, & relationship anxiety. For others it may come in the form of isolation, depression, or addiction. If you are seeking new ways of relating to both yourself and others, therapy can be a transformative path inwards. Despite the many demands that you may be under right now, therapy offers a dedicated time and space to self-reflect and make contact with the parts of yourself that too often get dismissed or suppressed.
To meet your unique needs, I draw upon multiple modalities and offer an emotionally attuned, non-judgemental environment. I incorporate Gestalt and IFS-informed parts work, attachment theory, psychodynamic insight, dreamwork, and iCBT for OCD where appropriate. My clients describe me as warm, perceptive, direct, and funny.
It was through my own journeys of anxiety, depression, and having loved ones who suffered from addiction that I decided to become a therapist. I understand that healing is a deeply personal process, and I’ll be there with you every step of the way, encouraging you to go at a pace that feels right for you while gently challenging limiting beliefs.

I am trained in depth psychology, meaning that my approach centers exploring the unconscious mind. Rather than focusing on behaviors themselves, I focus on what motivates and informs these behaviors. I find that this approach aids the therapeutic process in getting to the heart of the matter, and offers clients an opportunity to be in compassionate curiosity about all parts of their experience.
