About My Clients
Do you ever find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships, feeling disconnected from yourself, or wondering why certain experiences affect you so deeply? Maybe you understand your patterns intellectually but still struggle to change them. I work with adults, couples, and teens who want to better understand themselves, make sense of their experiences, and develop more meaningful ways of relating to themselves and others.
My Background and Approach
I approach psychotherapy as a collaborative process. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you better understand your experiences, relationships, and the patterns that shape how you move through the world. My approach is relational and psychodynamic, drawing on client-centered, narrative, and cognitive therapies to meet each person's needs. We explore what's happening now while considering how early relationships and past experiences continue to influence the present. I'm interested in the needs beneath familiar patterns and how the ways we've learned to adapt can sometimes keep us stuck. My background includes community mental health, school-based counseling, clinical supervision, and substance use treatment, including medication-assisted treatment. I bring this experience to work with complex trauma, co-occurring concerns, and the challenges of making meaningful, sustainable change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everyone deserves access to thoughtful, compassionate mental health care. Alongside my private practice, I work in an outpatient substance use treatment program, supporting people navigating recovery, ambivalence, and change. This work reinforces my belief that people are more than their diagnoses or the difficulties they're facing. I value curiosity, openness, and making room for the complexity of being human.
