In therapy, I'll help you explore the early relationships that have shaped the way you relate to your lo...

The people I work with often struggle in their interpersonal relationships and many have histories of trauma. My therapeutic approach is psychoanalytic/psychodynamic. This type of therapy endeavors to help people better ...

Across all therapeutic modalities I aim to maintain a safe space, which allows both therapist and client to collaborate and engage in natural conversation. I believe it is through these interactions where a relationship can be developed and certain insights come to light. In our work together, clients are able to learn more about their relational patterns, both through the experience of retelling their stories as well as firsthand within therapeutic interactions. As these insights provide oppor...
