Approach to Therapy:
I think a positive therapeutic relationship is the foundation of helpful therapy. I work psychodynamically. Psychodynamic therapy seeks to understand our desires and wants amid life's realities and hopes, helping us respond in healthy rather than unhealthy ways.
I hope to provide an empathic, accepting, confidential, and safe therapeutic environment on your path toward healing and growth.

Approach to Wellness:
I think wellness and human flourishing involve a better understanding of ourselves. I believe a psychodynamic approach to therapy begins to allow us to come to terms with our motives and to live honestly in the face of life's challenges. Ultimately, I believe wellness is a journey to learn to live an authentic, empowered, accepting, and realistic life.
