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

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.

“A journey of 100 miles begins with one step.” Welcome to the first step! It takes courage to seek therapy. We do so when stresses, negative thought patterns, and emotions block the life we want.

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).

In spite of great difficulties, you’ve not given up on finding meaning in your life. In helping you figure out what moves you, psychotherapy allows you to make better sense of what you’re going through, to be more aware of your strengths, and more mindful of what you need to sort out.

We may feel confused, scared, unbalanced, or out of control. We suffer, but we sense that our life can be better. Making changes can be frightening and overwhelming, as we're forced to give up the familiar for the unknown. I specialize in helping people in their 20s and 30s find their way to a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Are you feeling sad, stuck, anxious, or numb? Do you find yourself wondering about recurring patterns in your life, or notice a tendency to get in your own way? If you're hesitant to pursue your dreams, or struggle to find a sense of meaning and purpose, therapy can offer support and guidance.

Recurring feelings of anxiety, sadness or anger can overwhelm us. Past experiences, unhealthy patterns, or difficulty in relationships can intensify these feelings. Therapy can offer a space to explore your internal landscape in conversation.
