Our unhappiness is often due to repeating patterns, the "whys" of which can be puzzling to ourselves and others. These patterns prevent us from experiencing joy and contentment, enjoying healthy intimacy with others and living a meaningful life. I am committed to offering therapy that allows you the space in which we can look with honesty and self-compassion at your unique history, patterns and circumstances with curiosity and openness. I see my role as facilitating and accompanying you on a journey of self-discovery. My goal for you is to "be who (you) are and be that well." I listen and use the richness of psychoanalytic theory to help clients understand themselves and develop self awareness. My style is conversational and our time together may use your memories, present challenges, dreams and wishes to help uncover and discover who you really are. I welcome the opportunity to work with you and help you craft a life that is satisfying, regardless of where you find yourself now. You are ultimately the architect of your life; it is my privilege as a psychotherapist to help facilitate the process.
