About

I believe we all want to understand ourselves and make sense of our thoughts and feelings, especially when we haven’t experienced the full range of our emotions. You might feel stuck in self-defeating relationship patterns or by fears of failure at work. You may be looking for ways to express your experience and speak up for yourself. You may have spent a lifetime denying your own needs. Therapy can provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can notice and explore these patterns. We will cultivate a working relationship based on trust, respect, honesty, and empathy. Looking at everything that led you to this moment, you can make different choices and meaningful changes in your life. We will explore what may be internally hidden, feels overwhelming, or confusing, and examine the larger systems and social stressors impacting your life. I work with people who experienced complex trauma, intergenerational trauma, family of origin issues, loss and grief, depression, and anxiety. I have considerable experience working with adults with histories of sexual abuse and assault. While I have additional training in EMDR and somatic approaches to trauma recovery, I primarily work from a psychodynamic perspective because this allows us to get to the root of your distress and produces transformative change in the relationship with yourself and with others.
