About My Clients

Safety, trust and empathy is the foundation of our therapeutic relationship. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, our work together entails deep conversation about your thoughts, feelings, experiences and life story. I enjoy working with people seeking to better understand themselves while struggling with; anxiety, trauma, life transitions, depression and relationship issues. I am particularly well versed in grief and loss, and on topics of death and dying.

My Background and Approach

Building upon our strong therapeutic relationship, I work to encourage & facilitate exploration for self-discovery. Collaboratively, we will examine how your past connects to today in addition to observing and investigating patterns. This mutual work exposes roots of suffering so that your "self" can become liberated and able to live more fully, in the present time. I lead with compassion, curiosity and deep respect. Never losing sight of what an honor it is to walk alongside you on your therapeutic journey. Psychodynamic treatment is shown to provide lasting effects. If you are sparked with curiosity about the person you are, feel stuck or want to live a more authentic, meaningful life; you and your story will be well cared for by me. Together we can demystify your life, while bringing you peace and creating the life you want to live.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the value of all human life and embrace those from all walks. As an individual, I find myself curious about diverse populations and I am genuinely intrigued by others who are different from myself. I enjoy learning and experiencing culture through my passion of art, storytelling and attending community events or diverse establishments. I care about equality, social justice and the right of everyone to live a safe, healthy and meaningful life. A well lived life is unique to each individual. I could describe myself as one who prefers to get lost in nature, standing in front of a blank canvas with a paintbrush in hand or kneeling under the summer sun in my garden. Considering my own humanness as well; these are the things that have helped me through my own personal challenges. Now they provide me the greatest sense of quality in my life. I hope that we can connect on a professional, human level and together, address the challenges you are faced with in this life.
