Professional statement

Psychotherapy can help you cope with feelings of depression, anxiety, and grief you may be experiencing today. It can also help you clarify your values and goals, and find the empowerment to live them, even when you’ve been feeling stuck. We will work together to recover your motivating inner voice of self-love that can often be drowned out by self-criticism.

Using a psychodynamic and strengths-based approach, I will work with you to uncover connections between your challenges today, and past experiences that may be impacting them. Past experiences, even painful ones, can show us evidence of your strengths. You’ve come through a lot already to get to this day!

Message to clients

I am committed to creating a warm, comfortable space for us to look at, honor, and learn from your present, past, and your future vision. Your unique identity, including your culture and spirit, gender and sexuality, are all welcome as we empower your authentic self.

I have special interest in life transitions of all kinds, high-achiever & professional stress, identity issues, persons who are LGBTQ+ identified, anxiety, depression, recovery from addictions and compulsive behaviors, grief and loss.

I’m excited to partner with you on your healing and thriving path.
