I have several years of experience working with adults who are struggling through anxiety, uncertainty, depression, loss, trauma, life transitions, relationship and intimacy issues. My approach is warm, collaborative, direct and at times humorous! I use an integrative framework and draw on relational, psychodynamic and humanistic modalities to guide my work. In the context of a supportive relationship, our work together would focus on finding relief while gaining a deeper understanding of what is troubling you.

Together we would partner to explore narratives and protective patterns that are no longer needed and get in the way of healing.
