My ideal client is someone who is curious about themselves and the relationships they cultivate. They might notice patterns or triggers in their lives but they aren't sure where they stem from or how to work with them. Perhaps they have been to therapy before and are looking for a more relational approach with depth and connection. Perhaps they are seeking a spacious holding environment that doesn't rush their process, allowing a natural unfolding of their intuitive, true self to emerge, with no judgement or expectations.
I focus on building a secure relationship with clients through warmth and patience. It is through our relationship that we can uncover the unconscious roots of your suffering. My approach also includes an understanding of the various ways humans experience trauma, including social and economic disenfranchisement (i.e. poverty, racism, homophobia, etc.)
Finding the right therapist can be challenging. It takes courage. If what I have wrote resonates with you or you feel curious about what I offer, I invite you to reach out. You can tell me as much or as little about yourself as you'd like within our 15 minute consultation window. This is the best way to get a sense of how you might feel working with me.

I was trained psychodynamically. This means I take particular interest in childhood experiences to make sense of current distress. I believe our past shapes our present and can provide useful insights for us as humans. This won't be the entire focus of our work together but it will be part of it.
