As a psychodynamic, trauma-focused therapist, I can help you process past experiences in a safe environment — working with you to calm the unwanted noise that is anxiety. I can also help you address and resolve the depression that too often obscures our truest selves. Perhaps you’ve experienced a major upheaval or maybe you’re grappling with more subtle, disruptive changes to your day-to-day functioning. Either way, such shifts can be destabilizing, causing us to question core beliefs and ask: Am I even on the right path? New traumas may unfold, and older ones may awaken but we still have a very real need to feel grounded. My priority is to create a judgement-free environment where clients feel comfortable sharing authentically. During our work together, I will help you to identify the barriers holding you back. With compassion and humor, I make sure my therapy space is a place of comfort and authenticity. I am trained in EMDR, CPT, TF-CBT and other evidence-based modalities. My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate and relational but I will also make sure to challenge you; to help you to see yourself and the world in new ways. We will work closely together to uncover and look at what pains us and just as importantly, begin to believe in and experience our own very fundamental capacities to heal.
