Message to clients

My work focuses on helping patients feel more at peace with their emotional experience and to figure out areas where they are blocked. I help people deal with life transitions, stress, depression, and anxiety, as well as helping them see habitual patterns of handling emotions, or getting needs met, that may have been adaptive earlier in life but no longer work well. In my practice, mapping one’s history is important, especially in the way it shines a light on your unique needs and challenges, helping us to identify the patterns that impede you reaching your goals.

Everyone has strengths and vulnerabilities that need to be understood for there to be realistic change. My process combines my training in psychoanalysis as well as cognitive behavioral therapies in order to help you figure out how to thrive in your life. I create a safe space for you to speak and think freely, encouraging a sense of agency and resilience.

My process begins with a free consultation to see if a client and I feel that we work well together.
