Considering therapy and contemplating changes in your life can take courage. Finding a therapist who feels like a good fit is an important part of beginning that process. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your concerns, what you hope to accomplish, and whether working together might be a good fit. If another type of treatment or provider may better meet your needs, I am also glad to discuss other options and offer recommendations.

The Therapeutic Relationship

I strive to create a warm, open, respectful, and collaborative environment where you can feel comfortable bringing your experiences, questions, and concerns to therapy. I consider the therapeutic relationship an important part of the work and welcome your feedback about what is—and isn’t—feeling helpful.

I work collaboratively with you to understand your individual circumstances and goals. Therapy may involve exploring longstanding patterns and experiences, addressing current concerns, developing practical strategies, or some combination of these.

You will find me to be compassionate and supportive while also being thoughtful and direct. At times, I may offer observations, questions, or perspectives that invite you to consider something in a new way or look more closely at patterns that may be affecting your life. My goal is to create a supportive space where meaningful exploration, change, and growth can take place.

Integrative and Individualized Approach

I offer an integrative approach to therapy, grounded in attachment theory and contemporary relational psychoanalytic and psychodynamic perspectives, with an emphasis on psychological depth, self-understanding, and the ways our relationships and experiences shape who we are.

Depending on your needs and goals, I may also draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapies, neuropsychoanalytic perspectives, expressive arts approaches, psychoeducation, and practical skills.

I see psychotherapy as a creative process, shaped by each person. My aim is to bring together psychological depth and practical usefulness in a way that is meaningful to you.
