About
I work with clients who feel unhappy or stuck in their relationships, their careers, and even life in general to find ways of living that are more honest, authentic, and satisfying. I offer a non-judgmental and collaborative environment where our conversations will help you to recognize how to find meaning, wonder, and joy in your life. An exploration of each person’s unique moods, pleasures, distresses, and challenges can lead to novel and transformative experiences.
My approach to therapy is informed by psychoanalytic principles, which enable us to hold the incredible variation of emotional life with attention and engagement. I believe that therapy offers unique moments of joy, loss, seriousness, humor, curiosity, levity, play, trust, and patience that lead to more satisfying ways of being.
