About

We suffer for many reasons: some physical, some psychological, and some social and political, typically a combination. Often, our best efforts to prevent or reduce pain, which might once have been effective, lead to different kinds of pain and we find these ingrained patterns of self-protection difficult to change. It’s important to address suffering at all levels (personal, interpersonal, sociopolitical), and therapy can be one of many steps you need to take to address the sources of your distress. Therapy is a chance to explore the ways you have made meaning of your experiences and how these have helped and/or hindered you.

I practice Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, integrating Multicultural and Queer Affirmative perspectives to create a therapy experience that is focused on gaining deep insight into individual, family, and cultural influences that shape who you are and empowering you to begin making new choices where possible and addressing the things getting in the way of this.

The therapy relationship can provide a powerful opportunity for you to be listened to and supported in a way that enables growth and change. If you think we might work well together, schedule a free 15-minute consultation so we can decide together if the two of us are likely to be a good fit. I look forward to meeting you!
