I believe that curiosity, creativity, and compassion are essential for effective psychodynamic therapy. I strive to embody these qualities in every facet of my practice, from the interventions I select, to the space I create, to the way I interact with clients both in and out of session.

look at the many ways your past impacts your present functioning. Exploring your life experiences can give great insight into the person you are today. We'll talk about your early relationships with caregivers and compare them to current interpersonal relationships as we look for patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are keeping you emotionally "stuck."

warm, approachable, and knowledgable.

humans are fascinating! As an introvert, I love sitting back and observing interpersonal dynamics and interactions. I never get tired of learning how our brains work, how our personalities develop, and how our psyche is shaped over time. Combine this interest with a desire to support people and a talent for being a good listener, and boom! therapist. :)

My practice is trauma-informed and guided by complementary concepts from humanistic therapy, existential therapy, relational therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. When needed, I incorporate skill-based interventions from ACT and MBCT, resulting in a holistic practice that respects the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
