Adults & Adolescents

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, our ability to grow in the direction of a more thriving and vibrant life is hampered by painful emotions or old patterns we just can't seem to shake. I aim to bring support and perspective to the challenges you experience and to work collaboratively to explore and work through whatever struggles you face. Together in treatment, we will work on deepening your understanding of how you came to be who you are, challenging the beliefs and patterns that hold you back or no longer serve you, and empowering you to recognize your strengths and feel grounded in the present and hopeful about the future.

I incorporate elements of psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalytic theory, trauma-informed care, mindfulness based practices, creative arts therapy, and evidence based approaches to provide holistic and adaptive treatment. My approach is client centered, focused on fostering curiosity and open reflection, and rooted in the importance of creating a safe space while building a strong therapeutic alliance. I believe that creating and working within this context allows for genuine growth. I encourage my clients to explore the full range of their experiences and their sense of themselves and their relationships.

I have experience working with an array of cultures, populations, gender identities, and clinical issues, including depression and anxiety, trauma, PTSD, substance use and co-occurring disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, family of origin issues, self-esteem, disordered eating, issues of identity, and creative blocks.
