Clients I Work With

Imagine a world where you like who you truly are at the core. A world where you no longer worry about the judgement of others. This is that door. I invite you to walk though it together. This is psychotherapy for adults who are looking for longevity in therapy and longing to heal the origin of their pain; for those in search of completely changing their life. When you're tired of being tired and have tried other options that seem to come back to the same end, this is the beginning of something different.

Approach

I use a psychodynamic and trauma focused approach within the context of attachment theory and Irvin Yalom’s existential perspective. I work primarily with clinical professionals who are seeking personal therapy to assist in their growth path. I also support couples and polycules in complex relationship dynamics. My style is incredibly direct and even sometimes difficult to hear; it is paired with a deep sense of care and candor while focusing on the underlying issue.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

I strongly believe in open curiosity paired with synergy, which is a bedrock to a trust-based relationship. I aspire to aid you in building on your own strengths and learn additional skills that empower you to better manage life’s challenges. I believe that through the here-and-now process Irvin Yalom developed, the core of a trust-based relationship is working together and being open to the journey. This is true vulnerability, in real time. The outside world can melt away and this becomes your space that your emotions can fill. Nothing too heartbreaking, too much, too big, too painful, too loud, too joyful, or exuberant can lead me away from witnessing your journey alongside you. I believe together we can come to fully understand you better. through growing your awareness. There will be moments of tears, great anger, feelings of betrayal, and finally relief. This is what I know will be
