Clients describe me as empathetic & insightful, warm & direct.

My work is relational, collaborative, and human. I believe the relationship between you and your therapist is the most critical factor in therapy being effective. I will be equally committed to your growth, and will come as my authentic self - this means there will be depth, insight, humor, and gentle challenging when needed. I know showing up to therapy is not always easy, but I also know that the work is worth it and through it you can find real, lasting change. 

Each person comes to see me with their own unique story and needs. My goal is to help you understand how your past experiences impact your present life, so you can begin to make the best choices for your authentic self. To do this, my approach is grounded in trauma-informed psychodynamic and attachment therapy. This means that together, we will help you uncover unconscious patterns that are impacting your thoughts, behaviors, relationships and choices. We’ll explore early childhood relationships and experiences that have shaped how you view yourself, others and the world around you. While some of this deeper and lasting work takes longer to occur, I will provide you with practical tools and skills you can implement immediately to quickly relieve symptoms of pain and distress.
