I am a trained psychodynamic psychotherapist who believes that embedded meaning exists in the words we choose to use. I believe a main focus of psychodynamic psychotherapy is aimed at understanding how a person’s symptoms drive them to think, feel, act, and experience life in a certain way. With this in mind, I work with patients to allow knowing of themselves to emerge as it needs to be—not on my timeline but when the patient feels ready. I aspire for my patients to learn how to change what can be changed and to develop the capacity to support themselves for those parts they cannot alter.

I have a special interest in treating adult women experiencing depression and anxiety associated with life transitions, family and peer relationship conflict, self-esteem and self-worth concerns, body image issues, complex trauma, grief, loss, disease and chronic illness, young professional career development difficulties, and women’s issues.

I am accepting new clients and able to meet virtually.
