We see you in your strengths and challenges; We recognize your hard work and intelligence; We understand your restlessness and exhaustion; We work with you to quiet down your mind and to find real peace.

My Approach

Symbols. Relationships. Skills. Pains. As travelers, our world is full of moments that move us ahead- whether by our will, or without waiting for our say so. Though there are limits to how we respond - what we can alter in our environment - collecting our pieces and creating new ways to maneuver becomes essential to a life.

Building language for a difficult emotion; helping you to move through an evening of anxious exposure; drawing a dream in a sandbox; writing out the story of something scary; giving a clear phone call to your teacher or primary care provider; holding melting ice cubes in our hand; facilitating a difficult talk with your grandmother; walking your frustrated teenager around the park; showing me your fantasy wedding playlist: Our work can take whatever shape it needs.

Wherever you currently find yourself - a parent seeking a therapeutic collaborator to support your child; a youth wanting an adult to hear you and believe you; a young adult building up fragments of an identity - what I have gained via my experiences may help you get through this time.

How it is like working with me

Whether we find ourselves working together for a 15-minute phone call, across a few sessions that last an entire month, or for years of detailed development, there are a few things you can expect when I am around. First: my focus will be on you, and where you want us to go next. Second: Don't worry - I have a plan! We can co-create the plan as our work takes shape; just know, I have a sense of where these things sometimes go. Third: whether we are working with your child's feelings, behaviors, and thoughts; considering your past relationships and how they still affect you; or mastering a skill to get through a dark timeline, there is a tradition and method that can work for you. I believe that I have learned these, and want to share them with you.
