Do you experience persistent conflict around relationships, including the one with yourself? Do you struggle with a lack of personal identity that leaves you feeling anxious, depressed, or stuck? I am a licensed psychotherapist focusing on adults working through attachment difficulties and the effects of childhood trauma. In cultivating the tools to understand yourself, we will collaboratively explore the connection between past experiences and current patterns, in addition to developing coping skills to mitigate symptoms. Therapeutic modalities I use include psychodynamic, IFS, affectional bond theory, family systems, EMDR & more!
I take an integrative approach to therapy, ensuring my treatment plan is tailored to complement your needs and goals. I will work flexibly and transparently to encourage the processing of your unique history in a safe environment. I will help you work towards a framework that promotes improved mental wellness and confidence in navigating life’s stressors.
Starting therapy can be an intimidating and overwhelming process. Rest assured, we will develop a supportive yet challenging rapport to tackle your concerns. Think you’re ready to engage in emotional exploration? Schedule a consultation call with me to see if we’re a good fit.
