Beginning psychodynamic therapy is beginning a journey of self-knowledge. This journey leads to greater self-esteem, agency, resilience, vitality, and insight.

Therapy starts simply, with what is happening for you right now. How you’re feeling or not feeling; what you’re thinking about; what you’re struggling with. We might wonder together about what you’re curious about, or what you’re avoiding.

Are you seeking change in your life, work, or relationships? Therapy can help. Exploring your depressed, anxious, angry, or overwhelmed feelings can help you understand and shift what led to those responses.

Having a space to unpack our thoughts and to feel our feelings can help us better understand ourselves. It's about the "why's"; and when you know why, things become clearer. This is how we grow and change.

At times we can be strangers to ourselves; our actions and responses seem mysteriously out of place and "not me”. If we can slow down enough to approach these moments with curiosity and without judgement, perhaps we no longer have to remain under the thumb of our feelings. Therapy helps slow things down.

Feeling stuck or at a crossroads? My approach helps to foster awareness, creativity and resilience by helping you connect with your true, authentic self. I work with a diverse range of clients, including many who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT).
