Great to meet you!

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, realistic, and empathetic.. Having support along that journey can go a long way in achieving the goals we set for ourselves. I believe deeply in the importance of creating a safe space while also building a strong therapeutic alliance. The healing/growth process is not always the most comfortable but there is nothing more empowering than taking our power back.

My approach to therapy

I use psychodynamic psychotherapy, influenced by psychoanalysis, to help each individual or couple find their voice and look more deeply within to resolve any conflicts which may restrict meaning, mastery, and fulfillment.

What you can expect from me

Therapy can at its best be both a healing and a growth experience. I value people’s self knowledge and see us as collaborators using our respective awarenesses and skills, within the therapeutic relationship which can itself be a tool, to work towards both specific goals and a broader aim at improved mental health.
