Great to meet you!
Hello! I love nice walks on the beach, playing D&D, as well as helping people gain self-awareness, overcome shame, and to have hope for continued change and growth. It's hard to be a human. Let's do it together.

I practice relational psychodynamic psychotherapy. Basically this means I'm committed to our therapeutic relationship, to going the long distance together so we have time to explore your interiority, understand the depths of your being, and to imagine new ways of being that might offer fresh vitality to your life. We will often pause to consider each other's emotional reactions to what is being shared, and how that might speak to your struggles and possible ways forward.
Gaining access to all of your emotions, to multiple aspects of your self without shame, and gaining self-reflective and self-soothing skills. Taking responsibility for your behavior, growing in tolerating ambiguity, and growing in the strength to be truthful. Finding relief from rigid internal constraints that keep you stuck in problematic patterns. Gaining increased self-efficacy, being better able to love and to work. Last, but not least, gaining a greater capacity for hope.
