"Feeling real is more than existing; it is finding a way to exist as oneself... and to have a self into which to retreat for relaxation." - D.W. Winnicott
I provide a warm, down-to-earth and focused therapeutic environment. Within a contemporary psychoanalytic approach, I meet you where you and pace our work to help you gain greater insight, and a richer understanding of yourself and the life you are living. Together we can think through difficult states to allow a fuller expression of your emotional life, generate warmth where there is pain and sorrow, find greater well-being to live the life you desire.
We all have a deep well of wisdom within. When our strengths and vulnerabilities intermingle, we discover a fuller expression of our personal power and truest gifts. In the work of embodying and voicing unexpressed parts of ourselves, true healing and integration occur. I bring a depth of listening, perceptivity, and compassion in our work together.
My practice draws strongly on psychoanalytic thinking and Jungian analytic psychology, focusing on transformative work within an analytic-based relationship. With over 10 years of applied practice, my work centers on transitions of life stages, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression with a special interest in the treatment of traumatic and dissociative states, personality organization, and psychic maturation and growth.
I have integrated trauma-informed theories in neuroscience, parts work such as IFS, Somatic Experiencing™, and Jungian Sandplay and dream analysis into my practice as well as my background in Buddhist teachings and practice.
