My Approach
I approach people with curiosity and care, and seek to build a relationship that is strong and safe enough to support gentle challenging when needed.
The “here and now” plays an important role in our work, along with careful attention to the dynamics at play (impacted by what we both bring into the room) in the therapy relationship itself.
I offer relational psychodynamic therapy, with a focus on making sense of longstanding patterns and creating meaningful, lasting change.
I enjoy working with:
People who have been in therapy before
Many of my clients already have a strong understanding of themselves, but are looking for something that goes deeper this time.
People in helping professions
I have experience working with teachers, medical professionals, non-profit workers, other therapists, and people in leadership roles.
Survivors of childhood trauma and neglect
People who have survived early and repeated experiences which overwhelmed their abilities to cope, or those whose needs for physical and emotional safety went unmet.
Cultural and intergenerational trauma
People who are interested in understanding how family history and generational patterns have shaped their lives.
People facing complex challenges including psychosis, addiction & recovery, or personality disorders.
I enjoy working with people who experience or have experienced psychosis, addiction & recovery, and personality traits/disorders, when there is some stability and motivation to engage in reflective work.
For Providers:
I enjoy collaborative care and welcome referrals for clients who need more than brief or structured treatment. Please reach out if you would like to discuss the appropriateness of a referral.
