It is not easy to find someone with whom to share your inner world. As a therapist, I seek to provide a secure holding space that can assist in containing those feelings, because I believe that having a judgement-free space to develop awareness is important to one’s mental health. In this process, I will help you explore all the different parts of yourself, even the ones that feel the most shameful or unwanted. This process allows you to gain a more dynamic sense of yourself by getting to know the parts that have been kept at a distance. I believe this work can help make the intolerable a bit more tolerable. I have training in the psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approach to therapy. I practice in a relational and interpersonal way, meaning, I believe that a lot is uncovered through the therapeutic relationship itself. It is a collaborative process where we seek to find meaning together. I specialize in working with people who have fraught relationships with their bodies. I work with individuals who are interested in the mind-body connection and want to address eating disorders, psychosomatic symptoms, self-harm, etc. I also work with many creative individuals and artists.
