I will help you to slow down and lean INTO your emotions, especially the uncomfortable ones you’re so good at avoiding. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an intense process, but I will support and guide you as we explore the terrain of your inner life.
In therapy, we'll collaborate to help you gain clarity about your current challenges. From there, we will build upon your strengths with new strategies and skills to get "unstuck" from your move forward towards lasting change & growth.

I believe that when someone comes to me for treatment and shares their concerns, I can create a personalized plan to improve their health. It's important for clients to actively participate in the healing process, rather than feeling rushed or talked at. Our treatment approach includes medication, prioritizing sleep, making dietary adjustments, and adopting a healthier lifestyle. By working together and implementing these changes, we can achieve incredible results.

I like to support my patients where they are at presently, but also help prepare them for forward momentum. At times I may stir the pot and "call folks" out as necessary, while also validating their experiences for what they are worth.
