How I work

You may find yourself stuck or pained in relationships - relationships with yourself, others, the world, or your past. The struggle may express itself in loneliness, emptiness, existential questions, or maladaptive interpersonal patterns. It may manifest as symptoms, such as numbness, anxiety, fear, panic attacks, depression, disordered eating, or relational distress. Through a collaborative process, I hope to work with you towards identifying and removing blocks in order for you to live your life with more agency and vitality in more satisfying relationships.

The prerequisite to successful therapy is the fit between a client and the therapist. I strive to create trust in a nonjudgmental and authentic atmosphere. It is from this safety we work together to understand and find solutions to your struggle. 

Different therapeutic schools offer different angles in understanding and approaching human suffering while tapping into the potential for growth that is already there. I have been trained in different treatment modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral approaches, Psychodynamic Therapy, Accelerated-Experiential Dynamic Therapy (AEDP), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). In addition, I have a keen interest in trauma and have been receiving relevant trainings. Our work in therapy will be highly individualized, as any struggle or symptom is embedded in the tapestry of your unique history and biopsychosocial makeup. In order to be most effective, I blend insight-oriented, cognitive-behavioral, and emotion-focused approaches to address the issues that you may bring to therapy.
