Welcome to My Practice

People come to psychotherapy for various reasons. You may be struggling with feelings that are hard to talk about like sadness, shame, anger, guilt, or emptiness.  You may feel lost or stuck due to unresolved loss, trauma, or uncontrollable impulses. You may find it difficult to stay focused, organized, or motivated. Perhaps you crave more passion and vital risk-taking in your life.  Psychotherapy can improve all of these areas while also reducing anxiety and depression.

Credo

Psychotherapy at its best goes beyond symptom relief leading to a greater sense of ease within oneself, an enhanced sense of agency in one’s life, more intimate and authentic relating, and finally personal and professional growth.

Psychotherapy is also an investment of time, money, and effort, so finding the right therapist, with whom you feel productive work can happen, is crucial.  I understand that the search for the right therapist can be daunting. I do my best to support and help you find the right fit, whether it is with me or another therapist.

My Style

My style is warm, kind, nonjudgmental, and direct. I listen carefully, sometimes quietly, and what and how much I say generally follows from having listened with care.  I feel strongly about working thoughtfully and sensitively around issues of culture, race, class, gender, and sexuality.  I assume as little as possible while also holding the conviction that people forge unique identities out of complex relationships with themselves, their histories, and the worlds that surround them.  My hope is that you feel you can leave out as little of yourself as possible in our work together. I also understand that this process takes time and that establishing a sense of safety precedes all good intentions.

Contact Me

I am committed to developing meaningful psychotherapy relationships, which often takes some time.  It can be difficult to know whether we would be comfortable working together without having met in person.  I encourage you to contact me to set up an initial consultation so that we may gain a better sense of what it might be like for us to work together.
