Change is hard, especially when we feel stuck in old patterns, challenging relationships or unsatisfying careers . It can often feel really lonely, but you don't have to overcome this alone. Therapy can help you make the changes you've been struggling to make on your own. I provide a warm, open and relaxed space to explore your thoughts and feelings. We'll explore how the past influences the present, and empower you with agency to shape your life. I strive to help you gain insight, and understand barriers that might be preventing you from the growth you desire, while also identifying your strengths and how to use them.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family dynamics, self-esteem/identity & life transitions. I have training in Emotionally-Focused couples therapy (EFT) & practice with a psychodynamic framework. I implement a relational approach as we dive into understanding where symptoms stem from, and how to integrate different parts of ourselves.
Life can feel so hard sometimes. Navigating a polarizing society, our relationships and responsibilities and a rapid increase in technology can lead to disconnection from what makes us truly happy. Let's collaborate to create a more fulfilling and satisfying life for you to be living. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit!

A psychodynamic framework provides understanding about how our early relationships and family history shape who we are and provides a window into how these dynamics might be impacting our current relationships and influence how we may move through the world. My relational approach allows you to explore things that may be painful and use them in order to grow and build long lasting resiliency.
