About my Practice

How I work

I work from a psychoanalytic foundation. This approach involves taking time to understand the deeper layers of emotional life that shape how we feel, relate to others, and move through the world Together, we will explore and get curious about thoughts, feelings, relationships, past experiences, and ways of coping and interacting that may not be serving you anymore. This approach aims to help understand yourself more fully, loosen stuck patterns, and create lasting change rather than only managing symptoms.

Who I work with

I work primarily with teens and adults who are interested in understanding themselves on a deeper level. Many people decide to begin therapy because they noticed feeling stuck in some way, feeling burnt out from stress, find themselves repeating situations that are self-defeating in some way, find themselves having difficulties connecting in relationships, and/or find that they are overthinking, anxious, and unsteady in life.

Areas of interest and expertise include life transitions (such as navigating the transition into adulthood, becoming a parent or divorce/ending a relationship), grief and loss, relationship concerns, and those seeking greater self-understanding. I enjoy working with other helping professionals such as other therapists, educators, and healthcare professionals.

I have extensive experience working with preteens and teens and I welcome young people who are self-motivated for therapy to my practice.

How I can help

I offer individual therapy for teens and adults, family therapy, and parent guidance.

After having an initial evaluation to get to know each other and determine if we may be a good fit, we will develop a plan together for how the work will proceed. Typically we will meet 1-2x per week.

Over time, some things you can expect to gain from therapy may include increased sense of connection and safety in relationships, improved self-understanding and empathy, feeling more capable and in control of your life, improved resilience and self-regulation, feeling more alive and creative, and greater flexibility in handling life’s ups and downs.
