Welcome

For many people, the decision to begin therapy can be difficult and anxiety-provoking.  I largely work from an analytically-based relational psychotherapy perspective, though believe it is useful and necessary to draw from different treatment models to come up with a plan together with my clients that feels constructive and valuable.  I work hard to find a balance between meeting my clients where they are at emotionally, and listening closely for unconscious material that may be impacting their lives in counter-productive, emotionally painful, or even harmful ways.  I am uniquely capable of providing a containing and non-judgmental space, and am particularly interested in working with issues that arise as a result of counter-culture lifestyles. I bring a social justice perspective to my work, meaning that I take the entirety of my clients' environment as equally important and formative as their early childhood relationships and mental processes.

My areas of clinical interest and experience include:

• • Relationship struggles

  • Trauma

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • LGBTQ Identities

  • Self-esteem and co-dependency

  • Parent-child conflict

  • Severely Emotionally Disturbed adolescents

  • Stage-of-life changes

  • Counter-culture lifestyle issues

  • Grief and loss

  • Addiction

  • Self-harm

Finding a therapist that is a good fit is often difficult; I encourage anyone interested in beginning therapy or building upon a previous therapy to contact me for a consultation to see whether my skills and services are a good match for your needs.
