About My Clients

I work with people who deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, body image issues, and relationship conflicts. Whether you're going through a rough time or just want to learn more about yourself, I look forward to supporting you.

My Background and Approach

I have advanced training in psychodynamic therapy - that means together we'll look into the underlying causes of whatever problems you're dealing with today, and explore how early experiences and relationships impact you now. I also like to weave in CBT and mindfulness techniques as needed to help you manage overwhelming feelings in your daily life. Regardless of method, my goal is to create a safe and nurturing space for you to grow and reflect more deeply on your internal experience.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we all contain many stories and that sharing them is crucial to making meaning of our experiences as well as changing future narratives. In my personal and professional experience being able to name what you're feeling is powerful. I'm also very passionate about gender equality and housing justice. I recently joined the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America to better help myself and my patients deal with climate grief.
