About My Clients

You are likely seeking therapy because of distress and confusion around difficult emotional experiences that you are struggling to understand and resolve. This distress and confusion can result in anxiety, relationship issues and depression. Through our work together, we can help resolve these struggles by building an understanding of where they come from and how to respond to them.

My Background and Approach

In my psychotherapeutic practice, I provide a space for you to explore your desires, needs, and places in your life you feel stuck and unsatisfied. With my background and training in philosophy and psychoanalysis, and your expertise in your own experiences, together we will work to uncover a deeper satisfaction and enjoyment of your life. I offer an initial consultation free of charge to help you decide if we are a good fit.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I approach therapy with the mindful perspective that people need to be deeply listened to in order to understand and work through patterns they struggle to change on their own. With training in attachment, psychoanalysis, and mindfulness, I approach my work from the framework that because emotional and psychological experiences develop in relationships, individuals require relationships for healing as well.
