I find that therapy is most effective when certain norms are established. Chief among these is a spirit of  warmth and emotional safety for you to share your story freely and openly. As a part of the psychoanalytic tradition, I will encourage you to take the lead in our sessions, foregrounding your voice and autonomy as we collaboratively work through your pain together. I center the therapeutic relationship, encouraging us to continually fine-tune what is needed in the therapy.

I work from a relational psychoanalytic perspective, integrating attachment theory, helping you understand your motivations, patterns, and relationships with yourself and others. Sometimes we’ll reflect on early experiences, sometimes focus on what’s hard right now, and sometimes explore how therapy itself feels. I create a space for you to talk freely and prefer a collaborative, client-led approach where we uncover deeper insights together.

Therapy is not just a conversation between two people. It’s a sacred place to slow down, to process, to think with another who privileges your thoughts, feelings and ideas. Therapy offers the unique opportunity to get to know your whole self — healthy and unhealthy patterns -- in a way that allows for healing, growth, and transformation. As a time and space for you to get in touch with your most genuine self, I am committed to helping you navigate the intricate landscape of your mind and freeing yourself from what holds you back.
