About My Clients

My clients are often professionals with a goal of “having it all” or are in a time of significant personal transformation. You might have realized you’re in a negative relationship pattern, or you’re going through a big life transition like changing your career, navigating a break up, considering marriage, or entering parenthood. I'm here to help support you through these transitions.

My Background and Approach

I help my clients uncover what’s behind their unconscious patterns to help them grow and empower them to authentically choose how they show up in their own lives. I find that people tend to be unaware of the “why” behind their patterns — why do they seek out the same type of partner, even though they know they’re bad for them? Why do they keep ending relationships at the same point? Why are they afraid of commitment? Exploring attachment styles and formative relationships can help determine the “why” which can change behavior. My therapeutic style is non-judgmental, supportive, and practical while coming from a psychodynamic lens. This means that I’m looking at what’s behind your behaviors, not necessarily changes you need to make to those behaviors (we can work on behavior one we know what’s motivating it!).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that greater self-awareness leads to greater fulfillment, both in your life and in your relationships. I help my clients uncover what’s behind their unconscious patterns to help them grow and empower people to authentically choose how they show up in their own lives. I am LGBTQIA+ affirmative, trans-affirmative, sex-positive, racial-justice oriented, and support all relationship structures. I believe that therapy gives you the choice to live how you want to live — not how you have learned to survive. Let me help you discover this freedom.
