My Approach

I work with individuals and couples who feel their usual way of living isn't working anymore, have experienced a loss or disappointment, or want a deeper experience of life. Some have never been to therapy before. Others have, but felt it stayed too surface level or are ready for something more than short-term relief.

I balance understanding the impact of the past with the importance of present action. Through putting words to experiences and resolving conflicts, we will work to bring you closer to living the life with genuine meaning and desire.

I will listen thoughtfully, ask questions, and be there to both support and challenge you. My style is warm and direct.

I provide mentorship to therapists and have specialized training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which involves looking at attachment and childhood influences. My background includes grief counseling and trauma research. I pay close attention to the body and how emotions show up physically.
