Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially if you've been carrying a lot for a long time. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. Imagine: walking into a space, taking a deep breath and sinking into a couch to talk about what is on your mind with no fear of judgment. Together, we slow things down and get curious about what your nervous system has learned, and how we can gently support it towards healing.

I love life even when it is difficult, uncertain, and unpredictable. I experience it as a precious gift and live in constant awe of the quiet miracle of existence. I believe in hope, believe in kindness and compassion, and hold an essentially optimistic view of the human spirit. As a practicing professional, I am continually moved by the beauty and depth of psychotherapy. The psyche remains a mystery that can never be fully captured, and yet it endlessly inspires me. For me, psychotherapy is not only a profession—it is a philosophy, a spiritual path, and a way of living with attention, humility, and devotion to inner truth.

Therapy looks different for everyone, because everyone comes into therapy with different needs. In general, therapy works by us having lots of (often weekly, sometimes more often, just shy of an hour-long) conversations in which we get to know your mind and heart to help you find answers to what you are struggling with. To get to know you better, I will encourage you to share with me thoughts, emotions, images… everything that comes to your mind. Nothing is off limits, and the hardest or most awkward things to talk about can yield the biggest benefits.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist with over five years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families navigating emotional distress, behavioral patterns, and addictive patterns. My integrative approach draws from CBT, DBT, attachment, and trauma-focused work, grounded in curiosity, compassion, and embodied awareness. I believe healing comes not just through insight, but through connection to one’s inner experience, wisdom of the body, and external environment. I help clients explore the felt sense of their emotions, reclaim lost or exiled parts of themselves, and cultivate deeper self-understanding and growth.

For more than three decades I have brought my passion and experience as a clinical psychologist to facilitate healing, growth, and transformation in the clients whom I work with. My work is guided by my belief that we are all driven by a need to individuate - to become who we are capable of being. I realize that many of the problems that arise in our lives can cause the emotional pain and suffering that compromise these efforts. This is difficult life work, and while these experiences can feel overwhelming, they can also become openings for personal transformation when explored in a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship.

My clients tend to be intelligent and insightful individuals who come to work with me because they suffer from despair and disorder. They have tried to resolve their troubles and cope with their uneasiness for a long time--often partly successfully, and against strong odds--but they have reached a point where they want extra support and insight in order to finally transform their suffering into meaningfulness and growth. With consistency, dedication, patience and focus, I help my clients achieve deep and lasting emotional transformation.

Opening up to someone new can be scary so my top priority is to create an environment that feels secure, a place that can contain the multitudes of the highest of joys and the scariest scaries. The relationships that stem from this environment then, is the strong foundation for therapy. My specialties include EMDR therapy, religious trauma, & helping people reshape their own narratives, putting themselves as the main character in their own story being written. I strive to remove the stigmas surrounding the common portrayals of stodgy, clinical therapy, & replace them with a more personal and relaxed therapeutic style.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
