A little about me.
I love being a therapist because I get to walk alongside people through life's hardest and most meaningful moments, and watch new possibilities emerge.
And it's not always the big breakthroughs. Sometimes it's the small, hard-won moments that look like nothing from the outside but feel like everything to the person experiencing them.
Those moments still get me.
Therapy is more than talking about your life.
We'll talk, of course, with compassion and curiosity, connect what's happening now to what came before, and go beyond insight as I ask questions, share what I'm noticing, and slow us down when something important emerges.
01
I work relationally.
What happens between us matters, so we’ll pay attention to how you experience me and our work together.
02
I work with emotion.
We’ll get curious about what you’re actually feeling, not just what you think about what you’re feeling.
03
I work experientially.
When something shifts, we’ll slow down and stay with it long enough for it to become more than an interesting thought.
04
I also pay attention to the body and nervous system,
and what they can tell us about your emotional experience.
My approach is both insight-oriented and experiential, drawing primarily from psychodynamic psychotherapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
