About My Clients

My patients are typically high functioning - meaning they are from the outside seemingly doing great, but struggle internally or in their relationships. They feel they are being held back by something but can't quite put their finger on it. Therapy involves two people so I enjoy when my clients are committed to the work we do together and motivated to see progress.

My Background and Approach

My approach to counseling is rooted in relational psychoanalytic work and engages people as their whole selves. I attend to what is happening in the room. This includes what is coming up in your thoughts, feelings, and body. It also means paying attention to the quality of our connection within our roles as counselor and patient. I approach all my work with an attention to social and cultural context. We can explore who you are and where you come from– your personal circumstances, identities, values and experiences and how you have been impacted by experiences throughout your life. I’ve worked with individuals from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. I am LGTBQ affirming and a sex positive therapist.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I honor the courage and vulnerability it takes to ask for help, to look at our wounds, to embrace the messy parts of our lives. I consider it a privilege to hold space for meaningful change and healing with my patients, and I would love to support you in your process.
