I am a psychotherapist that uses relational psychotherapy to help people. What this looks like is while addressing some issues in the here and now, we will also consider and explore unconscious assumptions operating just below the surface. These are relational patterns, which are shaped by our experiences within our family, the identities we hold across a lifespan, cultural connections and a myriad of social, historical and personal contexts. By making these patterns more conscious, you can choose how to change. I tend to be a “good fit” with people who feel like their experiences are complicated, who are curious about themselves, who desire a close, emotional tracking to make the changes they want, and are open to someone (which is my role), who can “nudge” them in a caring and collaborative way.

My approach is warm, curious, interactive, and direct. I believe care is most effective when built on an ethics of kindness and gentleness, which informs how I listen, engage, encourage and challenge. Having this experience of an attuned presence and commitment to your care can be creatively generative, lead you to unexpected solutions and expansive ways of being.
