People often come to therapy with a precise problem to address, and sometimes people come to therapy with a general sense that they are not living their lives in a way that feels right or true. Many people seek therapy after feeling unsatisfied with short term results or quick fixes provided by previous treatment experiences. My training and skillset make me best suited for patients who are interested in creating lasting, meaningful change through untangling the origins of their struggle, and through finding new ways to relate to the complexities and nuances of their challenges.
Therapy is useful in many circumstances; it’s an opportunity to understand and change painful patterns, to treat a mental health disorder, to heal from previous trauma, to mobilize oneself when feeling “stuck," and so much more. Whatever your reason for seeking treatment, I believe that therapy can help you create a life that holds more joy, connection, and purpose.
The world can be deeply cruel to many people, so I use a feminist and sociopolitical lens to understand the link between the nature of a person's pain and the oppressive systems that the person lives within. Exploring the impact of oppression and trauma on the psyche can offer a person tremendous relief and the psychological freedom to live differently.
I am a therapist, adjunct professor, clinical supervisor, and candidate in psychoanalysis with more than a decade of experience helping people decrease their suffering and build fuller lives. I’m currently accepting new patients.
