I believe that therapy is inherently relational. Although the therapeutic relationship is distinct to other relationships in one's life, often the same themes and emotions tend to arise in the therapeutic dynamic as in other area's of one's life. This makes for a wonderful opportunity to explore those dynamics in the safety of the therapeutic relationship.

Attachment is often a centerfold of our internal and external experiences. Incorporation of attachment theory helps us to understand what may be driving our responses in different relationships and environments, providing a framework for what may be contributing to our struggles.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy involves developing awareness of recurrent emotional and behavioral patterns. From this awareness, we will begin to unravel those patterns, unify different parts of your identity, and discover what feels most true to you. In this discovery, we can begin to evoke change and bring about your true self.

The experience of trauma is one that lives in our minds and bodies. Living with the symptoms of traumatic experiences--distressing memories or dreams, emotional detachment, irritability, hypervigilance, sleep disturbances, or dissociation, to name a few--make it difficult to move through life and truly feel like you are in the driver's seat. Whether you have a clinical diagnosis of PTSD or not, you deserve to have your symptoms ease and return to the driver's seat.

Relationships are integral to our well-being. However, relationships can inflict and reflect back painful wounds around hurt, distrust, miscommunication, and fear. In our work, I hope to bring to light what is coming up for us in our distress and foster experiences that feel full, intentional, and connected.

Grief is a complex emotion that can take many forms.

Grief is a complex emotion that can take many forms. Sometimes, we may not be aware that how we are responding in different contexts are our grief responses. Grief is not something we can simply "shake off", but it is an experience we can understand and incorporate into our lives in ways that are meaningful and authentic to us.
