I look forward to meeting you. I am relational in my work and believe in the importance and strong impact that relationships (both primary attachments and current connections) can have in people’s lives. I have been practicing as a therapist for twelve years and have focused my work on individual psychotherapy with adults and college-aged students. I am sensitive, and I use this strength to tune in with clients and create a safe working space in which to explore, unpack and understand vulnerable and/or troubling parts of life. Everyone comes to therapy with strengths and I work to identify and incorporate these into the therapeutic process. Ultimately, I believe that being both known and cared about, sometimes described as being “seen,” can be one of the essential factors in helping people to heal. As a clinical social worker, I take to heart the importance of honoring people from a diversity of backgrounds and understanding people within the context of their environment. I draw from a number of theoretical frameworks including: Psychodynamic, Attachment theory, Buddhist Psychology and Internal Family Systems. I especially enjoy working with clients on issues of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-worth/self-compassion, trauma, relational concerns, identity concerns and life transitions.
