Individual Therapy
Engaging in therapy is a courageous act. You are brave for stepping into this process. I’m glad you’re here.
Are you seeking therapy because you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lonely? Are you having issues in your relationships, finding it difficult to make connections, or suffering from loss? Are you struggling with issues of identity, racial identity, sex, or sexuality? You are not alone. Whether it’s working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or just seeking personal growth and depth, many of us need support with these normal human challenges, and I can offer you help.
It is an honor to support someone in their most vulnerable, tender explorations of who they are. I will be your empathic guide and we will work collaboratively to explore your needs and develop your goals. I believe that you are the expert on you, but I will help you recognize your strengths and work through your challenges. My job is to create a space of safety, containment, and freedom for you to explore all parts of yourself without judgment.
I am intuitive, warm, and direct. I work from a contemporary psychodynamic lens and use an integrative approach to therapy, which incorporates diving deeply into your past and learned patterns in order to shed light on the root of the struggles you may be experiencing. The goal of this approach is to give you more agency over your choices, and practical tools such as emotional regulation techniques and coping skills to manage immediate symptoms. I will also utilize creative and experiential techniques in our work together to help you widen opportunities for self-expression and somatic awareness, if you so choose. I am trauma-informed and incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and narrative interventions into my psychodynamic practice.
