Therapy offers an opportunity to bring awareness to the difficult patterns we find ourselves in, making space to understand and relate to them differently. Much of what shapes us, including how we connect with others, protect ourselves, or experience desire, operates below awareness. Therapy can be a place to slow down and notice it. I listen closely and compassionately to your thoughts, feelings, memories, and fantasies, in a space that can feel both playful and honest. I stay attuned to the impacts of class, race, gender, and identity and how the broader social world enters the room. I'm curious to understand you on your own terms.

My approach is psychodynamic and relational. I believe that dynamics you might encounter outside the therapy room often emerge in therapy as well. By staying in the here and now, and paying close attention to what emerges between us, we can learn about these patterns as they're actually unfolding, and in doing so you may come to know yourself in a new way.

Finding a therapist can be daunting, and it can be hard to know where to begin. If you're curious whether we might be a good fit, I welcome a free 15-minute phone call to connect. I'd be glad to hear from you whenever you feel ready.
