Our work can deepen awareness of your experience, allowing you to identify and remove blocks inhibiting change and support you to make more intentional choices. I regularly work with people experiencing loneliness, high awareness clients that struggle to enact change, and couples experiencing blocks to connection and intimacy. I specialize in depth-therapy, working with those who are suffering from anxiety, family-of-origin and relationship issues, complex trauma, sex- & sexuality-related concerns, ages 16+. You can expect me to be observant, empathic, professional, ethical, responsive, and LGBTQ+ affirming.
I use psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic approaches, and emotionally focused therapy to support changes that my clients can see and feel, rather than staying stuck in their minds. With me, you will develop more coherency about issues plaguing you and have healing, connective experiences in therapy, preparing you to explore your life out in the world.
I strive for both compassion and progress, adjusting my approach to the person or people in front of me. When you reach out to me you will get a timely, personal response directly from me. Contact me for a free consultation.
