Pain is an inevitable part of life, but we don't have to suffer needlessly. Suffering occurs when anxiety takes over our thoughts and actions. We become anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We're anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy can be a way out of these defensive patterns. While we can't prevent difficulties and tragedies, we can learn to manage our emotional reactions to external events and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to confront our inner world, regardless of how complicated and messy it may be.

As a therapist my goal is to come alongside you on your unique journey toward health and wholeness. I am a psychodynamic therapist who works experientially. This means I help people get to the core feelings underneath their symptoms. I strive do this in an empathetic and engaging way to ensure that my clients feel both heard and helped. My job is to work myself out of a job by empowering you face your internal world head on, with compassion and courage. I consider myself a generalist psychologist, but I do have expertise working with trauma, co-dependency, and personality disorder issues.
