I know finding an effective therapist who is a good fit for you can be difficult. An authentic connection with your therapist is important, so my first aim is to build that relationship with you, to create an atmosphere where you feel seen, understood, and inspired to get curious about your experience.
From there, the work of therapy--though often challenging--can have a spirit of compassionate exploration. I bring an integrative approach to the work. I am able to customize my approach, calling on a blend of modalities according to your needs, including psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness based techniques, cognitive behavior therapy, attachment informed therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. We'll look at the experiences that shaped you, what's getting in your way today, and with my support, help you heal, build resilience, self-acceptance, deeper relationships, and a life based on what you value most.
