Are you interested in diving deep into your current behaviors and past patterns to better understand yourself and create sustainable change? Do you find yourself wanting more than surface-level, temporary solutions to your problems? Do you want to enhance your relationships and create healthier ways of being with the people around you?
If you’re ready to make long-lasting changes, I’m here to help. I believe each person is complex and deserves more than surface-level solutions. This is true for individuals and couples who might be in pain and need to explore not only their current issues, but also the emotional experiences that lie beneath. My goal is to help clients explore and gain an understanding of their suffering and how it impacts who they are, how they behave, and how they show up in relationships. The more you understand yourself, the less your suffering will drive your decisions on a subconscious level.
As a therapist, I believe it’s essential to be empathic and kind, while also being direct and honest so clients can see the patterns that have been unhelpful to them. I am skilled at expressing the truth of what I’m seeing with respect to each person, which is especially integral to my therapy with couples. Oftentimes, couples are aware of harmful dynamics but struggle to verbalize it for themselves, and are unaware of how to change these patterns. Being able to shine a light on what typically goes unsaid allows all clients to take great steps toward sustainable change.
With a background in anti-racist, LGBTQ+-informed work, I approach therapy with care and curiosity about each person’s personal history and how they have been impacted by the culture and world around them. I use psychodynamic, trauma-informed and relational modalities to move through pain, healing and growth. I work virtually or in person with individuals, couples, and groups.
