Therapy is about learning how to tell our stories. It is deepening our courage to look ourselves in the face, and tell the truth of what we find. It is taking in the bountiful love in the world though it sometimes seems impossible to find. It is learning to savor the taste of a good meal and laughter with others. It is knowing the name of our sadness whether or not we can find our tears. It is being. Just as we are with hope for more to come.
I use a relational psychodynamic lens, which means I use the therapeutic relationship to help develop greater self-awareness. I hold a deep focus on what is happening in the moment. What does our style of relating tell us about how you relate to others in your life? Where is there pain and where is there joy? We can discover them together.
One of the greatest acts of courage is telling ourselves the truth of who we are. Just as courageous is the act of sharing that truth with another. Feel free to check out my website to learn more about me and my work. It would be lovely to work together, but if you find yourself on a different path, my hope is that you find people you can tell the truth to.

My style is largely psychodynamic and attachment-based. That means that we'll attempt to bring out thoughts and internal processes that are largely unconscious and also explore more about how you've learned to keep yourself safe in relationships, and how your styles of relating might affect your relationships now.
