As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I see the world through the lens of relationships. I treat adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationships, perinatal mental health, childhood trauma, and religious wounds. I believe the work of therapy is in undoing aloneness. I became a therapist because I believe it’s in relationships we are injured and paradoxically, it must be through relationships that we heal.
I was helped by therapy first as a teenager, and over the years I have continued to find solace there. I practice primarily from a psychodynamic framework. Many of my clients come to me after having received cognitive therapy approaches and are looking for something more. I believe depth therapy can offer therapeutic benefit that lasts - looking under the surface into your relational history to better understand the present moment.
Before our first session, I will send you a few forms to complete and submit online. We’ll spend the first 15 minutes of our session talking through the business side of things, and you’ll have some time to ask me questions. After that, I’ll listen to your story in whatever way it needs to be told. We’ll end by talking about how the session felt, and decide together if we’d like to continue meeting. Just like not every person is going to be your best friend - not every therapist is the right fit for you. My hope is that our first session will clarify for you whether we might be a fit.
