| Practice Description: |
 | In uncertain times, I can help you manage anxiety and overwhelm. Sessions provided in person and/or via video/phone. Please contact me for more information. |
Welcome! I am a psychotherapist who works with people to achieve a personal sense of well-being and vitality. I believe our life struggles are rooted in our unconscious. Due to imperfect childhoods, we develop certain patterns of relating and defenses to help us cope that we carry with us into adulthood. While we needed these defenses as children, they can become obstacles in our adult life, since they block our true feelings and best potential. I will actively collaborate with you to uncover these defenses and relationship patterns, and empower you to live a full, authentic, and joyful life.
Having a genuine connection to a therapist you trust and like is key for therapy to work. I am naturally warm, easy to talk to, and enthusiastic about this process. My insight-oriented approach will help you make long-lasting, freeing changes in your life.
Beyond my graduate school training, I have advanced clinical training in psychoanalysis. I have experience helping people with all kinds of life transitions, relationship issues, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and trauma.
