Through an eclectic psychodynamic lens paired with relational, attachment, and CBT theories, my treatment helps you gain valuable insight, foster healthier connections with others, and develop coping mechanisms for resilience. The approach embraces the unconscious mind, relational dynamics, and attachment patterns, providing a holistic path to healing. Treatment focuses on the personal growth of healing from past wounds and the pursuit of a more fulfilling life.

For long-lasting change to occur in therapy, I believe you must feel truly heard, valued, and cared for in treatment. I continuously collaborate with you to assess the progress of treatment together so that you truly feel you are growing in your therapeutic journey.

I specialize in adults who wish to engage in deep insight-oriented work when struggling with areas such as depression, self-esteem issues, life transitions, or relational challenges. As a clinical social worker, I have been privileged to work with clients of various races, genders, sexual orientations, cultures, and backgrounds. I greatly value the knowledge I receive from my clients’ lives and experiences, and I strive to create a culturally competent space for you.
