About
For whatever challenge you're facing right now that brings you to therapy, know that it is my first priority for you to feel seen, heard, and understood. From the foundation of a warm and supportive therapeutic environment, we will help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself so that you can better navigate and cope with the challenges you are facing. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory, which explores your unconscious processes and past experiences to understand behaviors and emotions. I believe that a deeper self understanding gives us more agency in the present to respond to stressors in new, more helpful ways. My therapeutic approach has been effective with clients experiencing a broad scope of mental health concerns and life challenges, including depression, anxiety, persistent feelings of low self-worth, relationship issues, family conflict, identity development, and life transitions (including prenatal and postpartum).
