I draw from a relational psychodynamic orientation; in practice, this means our task together is to get intimately familiar with who you are and what motivates how you feel and how you respond. This comes from a variety of places - our early attachments, formative life experiences, current stressors, and the meanings we make from them. When we uncover how these things are playing out in real time, we also find a way through.

In our sessions, I will ask you thought-provoking questions to bring your own internal wisdom forward, gently challenge you to consider new possibilities, and help you in becoming more acclimated with your inner world. I often use what is happening between us in the here-and-now as important information to attend to and be curious with.

I believe therapy offers a unique opportunity to bring forward the parts of ourselves we tend to keep hidden - when these parts are witnessed, held, and nurtured, we have the opportunity to experience healing and move forward in our lives with greater resilience and emotional health.

Patients have described my style as warm, thoughtful, and “compassionately challenging”.

I am a clinician who is also engaged and invested in my own therapy. My dedication to my own personal growth allows me to make space for and interact with your emotional experiences with the utmost care.

If you are expecting relief from just a few sessions or a very structured, solution-focused approach, I am not the therapist for you.

There are certain experiences that require a specialized therapeutic approach that I do not offer. If you are someone who is looking for specific support for the following, I will not be a good fit: Eating disorder(s), OCD, substance use or addiction

I do not provide the following: Couple’s therapy, EMDR, IFS, letters for emotional support animals, or psychological testing. If ever these are resources you would like in our work together, I am happy to provide trusted referrals.

I offer consultation and supervision services for therapists who are wanting guidance in their clinical work. It is crucial that in engaging with this emotional, complicated, confidential work we also have a professional space to gain additional insight and perspective. I find that clinical supervision is invaluable - not only for providing quality care to patients but for remaining professionally supported in this sometimes isolating work.

Like my approach to therapy, my consultation and supervisory style is psychodynamically informed; we can discuss cases where therapy feels “stuck”, work on case conceptualizations, explore transference and countertransference that might be shaping sessions, and discuss ways to develop and sustain a successful, satisfying private practice.

My rate for consultation/supervision is $120 for 50 minutes. If interested, please reach out through the contact page.
