About My Clients
I enjoy working with people who are interested in long-term psychotherapy. People I work with are interested in developing a nuanced understanding of themselves, to feel confident in how they move through the world. I focus on helping people navigate anxiety, grief, life stress, and life transitions, and have particular interest in working with queer identifying people and those who are exploring existential dilemmas.
My Background and Approach
My approach is sincere and honest, humorous and playful. I practice psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy, meaning that I focus on exploring the past's influence on the present with special attention to relationships in your life. I am not a blank slate; I react and respond to what you share. I provide a trained and attuned listening ear to what you bring in the space, listening for the themes and patterns woven throughout your life. I especially listen for what is not being said, and help you explore the connections-- and tensions-- between your inner experience and the world around you. Through talking together, I help you make sense of ways of being you are aware of, and those that are unconscious to you, so that you can become more of an active participant in how you move through the world.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Psychotherapy is just one of many ways to move towards healing. I believe that we all have the capacity to build greater understandings of ourselves and that people can change. I believe that our early relationships and the environment around us have tremendous influence on how we move. I value working across difference and I work to be in continuous understanding of the nuance and complexities in that process. Ultimately, my hope is that through this work you feel more connection with yourself, your relationships, and your community.
