About
I work with people using a variety of philosophies, but those encompassing humanistic and psychodynamic theories inform most of my practice. This generally means I am most interested in focusing on emotions, insight, relationships, past experiences, meta-emotion, self-worth, authenticity, fantasies, and the unconscious. I rely heavily on discussing shame, vulnerability, emotional needs, and creating meaning in life. I am fairly non-directive, and I will be most focused on helping you find your own authentic path by reflecting and exploring deeper meanings and patterns that arise in our discussions.
I specialize in working with people struggling with issues related to: family of origin, depression, sexuality, grief and loss, mortality, relationships, significant life changes, health struggles, and identity formation. I have also worked with foster families, hospice patients and their families, older adults, couples, and individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
In our work together, I will first aim to develop a strong therapeutic alliance. As this becomes firmly established, we can begin to explore underlying reasons for the struggles you experience and patterns you wish to alter, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself. I am currently only offering teletherapy. I look forward to hearing from you.
What sets us apart
I offer teletherapy informed by humanistic and psychodynamic approaches, focusing on emotions, relationships, and finding personal meaning. I help clients explore patterns, address shame and vulnerability, and develop self-understanding. My experience includes working with individuals and couples facing challenges like depression, grief, relationship issues, family of origin issues, and significant life transitions.
