Great to meet you!

Each individual has a different journey to walk, filled with obstacles unique to one's life. I walk with individuals as they explore the depths of their life stories and the impact that has had on who they are presently. In addition to exploring one's past we also deal with the here and now and explore what's keeping one from living freely and more fully in the world.

My approach to therapy

I practice from a psychodynamic and relational lens. However, individuals can expect to have an experience that is tailored to suit their personal needs and goals. Together we work to create lasting change that comes through understanding relational patterns and roadblocks in our lives. Through understanding these, one can begin to see lasting improvements in their day to day experiences.

What you can expect from me

Because I meet each person where they are we will work together to determine what will be the best course of treatment as well as tangible goals to achieve in our work together.
