My Approach 

 

I see therapy as a space to learn more about yourself and understand what makes you tick. It is a place to build upon your existing strengths and feel empowered to make change. I believe change in therapy is a process of identifying maladaptive patterns of thought and behavior and encouraging insight to understand the root of such patterns. Moreover, I view the relationship between patient and therapist as a critical catalyst for change. Not only is it a space to feel safe and understood, but it is a model to understand how you relate to others outside of therapy. By exploring how these relational patterns unfold in therapy, we can identify blocks that are preventing you from developing satisfying relationships. I aim to create a space that is warm, empathic, and non-judgmental so you can bring your most authentic self to our work together. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, but I draw heavily from the feminist, humanistic, and interpersonal traditions.

I feel privileged to be entrusted with my clients’ stories and to share in moments of vulnerability, pain, and joy. I welcome you to bring your strengths, challenges, fears, and hopes to our work together. Therapy can be daunting, but I'm here to support you on your journey.
