Psychotherapy, at its best, is no single thing. It can be a reprieve from the noise of daily life, an exploration into unprocessed internal terrain, or a catalyst that sets something dormant into motion. My practice rests on the simple but often undervalued premise that we all deserve dedicated, patient attention to parse our internal landscapes: the relationships, recurring patterns, and quiet desires that continue to shape us long after their origins have receded. What that process looks like is never quite the same twice—it takes its particular shape from the relationship between therapist and client, which is both the setting and often the instrument of change.

I approach the work as a genuine partnership where you bring the material of your own life and the authority of having lived it, and I bring clinical experience, sustained attention, and a willingness to stay curious alongside you. Sessions with me tend to be conversational and, more often than not, carry a real sense of humor—we can tolerate looking closely at difficult things when there's some lightness available too. I also hold each person's full context in view: family history, identity, and the wider world they move through all inform how a life comes to feel the way it does.

My clinical background is with adults in emerging to late adulthood: life transitions, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, identity issues, trauma, and the complexities of familial, romantic, and professional relationships. I work from a psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive orientation, drawing as needed on holistic and mindfulness-based approaches. I'm especially interested in the ways early experience continues to organize present-day feeling and behavior, often outside of conscious awareness, and much of our work together involves slowly bringing those older patterns into view—where they came from, what purpose they once served, and whether they still serve you now. Psychoeducation gets folded in where it's genuinely useful, and having lived and worked in this city for years, I bring a grounded understanding of its particular pressures—the pace, the atmosphere, the way excitement and exhaustion so often coexist here.
