My approach

Reading through therapists’ bios to assess compatibility can be quite an overwhelming process. You might not even know what you’re looking for. What you probably do know is that something feels off in life and you’re looking for some help.

As a therapist, I am, first and foremost, a human with my own personality in the therapy room. I can say that I take humanistic and psychoanalytic approaches, using cognitive theoretical orientations when I think it’s helpful- but I think it can be hard to understand what that means or what it would look like. The best way to explain myself is that I value showing up authentically to foster a trusting relationship so that a sense of relational safety can be achieved.

It seems we are all here struggling with something—either romantic relationships, parenting, identity, self-doubt, or anxious/depressive feelings—and there is a reason this is showing up in our lives. In therapy, we slowly and carefully begin working toward understanding the different parts of who we are so that we can build a stronger relationship with ourselves.

It’s hard work to show up and commit to seeing ourselves in ways that might be uncomfortable, but I’m here to work through those moments with you and develop the growth you want to see happen in your life.
