As a psychodynamic and attachment oriented therapist, I believe that the foundation of therapeutic treatment is a safe and supportive relationship between therapist and client. The process of treatment often uses the therapeutic relationship itself to uncover relational patterns from earlier in life that may be causing pain or dysfunction in the present day. By identifying the historical antecedent to a seemingly confusing or inappropriate emotional response, client and therapist are able to disrupt maladaptive patterns and choose new, more values congruent responses.

As a therapist, I foundationally work from the belief that all humans deserve to feel safe and at home in their bodies. In this messy world, we can often find ourselves not trusting our bodies and wanting to change them. Sometimes within that mess, people may find themselves coping in ways that do not address their deep, underlying needs. I believe in this therapeutic process, you can reconnect with those needs and serve them more intentionally, healing the deepest parts of yourself. My goal is not only to help you find that healing, but to also enjoy and accept the messiness along the way.

I have over 25 years experience doing therapy and evaluations for all ages. As a therapist, through compassion, listening, and active skill-building, I help individuals, couples and families increase understanding of issues and make changes needed to function better and feel better. While 25 years of experience guides my understanding of issues and my ability to help, in that time I have also developed a deep respect for the uniqueness of each person who comes to me, thus I approach each person with an eye to that uniqueness and how we can harness it to improve things.
