Welcome! 

I believe that symptoms and struggles often carry important messages about unmet needs, unexpressed parts of self, and adaptive responses to difficult circumstances. Rather than simply managing distress, we'll work to understand its origins and meaning, creating space for parts of yourself that may have been silenced or forgotten. This process can help you develop a more compassionate relationship with all aspects of your experience.

I practice from an integrative perspective that combines psychodynamic insight and relational approaches to support your journey toward deeper self-awareness and connection. Drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities, I tailor our work to meet you where you are, honoring both the conscious and unconscious forces that shape your experience.

In our work together, we'll explore the patterns that emerge in your relationships with yourself, with others, and with the world around you. Through careful attention to what arises between us in the therapeutic space, we can illuminate long-held beliefs and relational templates that may no longer serve you. 

I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, identity questions, and the lingering effects of trauma. My practice is grounded in anti-oppressive principles that acknowledge how systems of power and privilege impact mental health and wellbeing. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that feels safe, collaborative, and attuned to your unique cultural and social context.

Whether you're seeking to understand recurring patterns, deepen your capacity for intimacy, or find more ease and authenticity in daily life, I'm here to accompany you in this important work of becoming more fully yourself.

Individual Therapy

Our lives are shaped by systemic narratives - stories about who we are, how we should behave, and what we should want - that frequently serve the interests of capitalism, patriarchy and white supremacy, even as we are powerfully attached to these narratives. When these narratives remain unconscious, we can experience guilt, shame, and disappointment when we don't live up to them or when our actions in accordance with these narratives isolate and alienate us further.

Therapy gives us tools to examine our self-narratives, beliefs, and patterns; for many people, therapy is the first and safest space to begin this process of self-reflection. I support people interested in living with more awareness, understanding, and intention.

Whether you're seeking to understand recurring patterns, heal from past experiences, or create more authentic ways of being in the world, we can work together toward greater self-knowledge and intentional living.

Relationship Therapy

I help couples understand their unique relationship to identify strengths, challenges, and underlying dynamics. Together, we focus on changing engrained patterns of relating, enhancing communication skills, rebuilding intimacy, and developing tools for navigating conflicts while healing past wounds that impact your connection.

I welcome couples and partners from all backgrounds, orientations, and relationship configurations, with particular expertise supporting LGBTQ+ individuals.

My approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy principles. Whether you're looking to strengthen emotional bonds, resolve ongoing conflicts, or navigate major relationship transitions, we can work together to create the partnership you desire.
