Welcome

I’m so glad you are here.

I am a psychodynamic therapist offering services to people looking for lasting change around issues such as:

  • Long standing difficulty in early and current relationships

  • A sense that you and your accomplishments are never quite enough/perfectionism

  • Difficulty with creativity, spontaneity, or feeling you can be yourself

  • Experiences of acute or complex trauma

  • Adult children of alcoholics

  • Overthinking/anxiety

  • Codependency

  • High stress careers

Approach

Research shows the most important indicator of success in therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist.

Sometimes experiences can make it difficult to be present in our lives, to trust ourselves, and to believe that who we are is good enough. Healing through relationships is a fundamental part of being human and that can be scary at first for some.

My hope is to build a relationship in which you can feel safe, and explore who you are and who you wish to be in this world.

Even if you’ve tried therapy before, I encourage you to reach out and see if we are a good fit.

Contact

I am available for individual and couples psychotherapy, and I reserve a portion of my practice for reduced fee EMDR for teens and first responders experiencing acute or complex trauma.
