my approach

I specialize in working with individuals and couples facing relationship challenges, complex trauma, and mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and complex post-traumatic stress. My approach is warm, client-centered, and practical. I believe that psychotherapy should be a collaborative journey. Together, we will map your history, experience and understand your emotions, and generate movement beyond your past. Feedback and honesty are essential components of the therapy process, especially as we make sense of how important relationships have shaped you. They allow us to explore how patterns that emerge in-session may also be present in other relationships in your life. From this vantage point, the therapeutic relationship serves as a vessel for mutual emotional engagement, insight, and transformation. I strive to embody the values of cultural humility and equality, and to emphasize our common humanity, along the way.
