About

We often think of ourselves as what we are given, but instead it's what we make of what we're given. I am guided by a view of identity as a creative narrative and see distress as often occurring when we feel stuck in that creation, bound to a self and life that isn't working. The goal in therapy is not only to understand how and why we got stuck, but to reengage with our creative and imaginative self, allowing us to explore new facets of ourselves and experiment with new ways of being. In many ways, we reduce suffering by reintroducing play in our worlds. Storytelling, deep reflection, imagination, and humor are pillars of my practice. I work with you to understand, reimagine, and reorganize your experience so that you can unlock self-transformation and achieve your desired changes. I particularly enjoy working with individuals struggling with identity, depression, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions.
