My Approach

I know how painful it is to be stuck with overwhelming feelings and recurring difficulties in navigating relationships. I strive to bring hope, purpose, and stability into my clients’ lives. In sessions, I may offer concrete ways of tackling problems, with tools from dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I also integrate mindfulness and body awareness into my practice given the fact that we live in the interplay of body and mind.

A lifelong love of literature and film has provided me with a window into the different ways that humans experience and express their emotions. I always invite you to talk about what you are reading and watching and how these contribute to your understanding of self and others.

Lastly, another influence for me is psychoanalysis, precisely because it invites in all aspects of human experience: what we want, what we love, what we hate, what we fear, and what we don’t yet know about ourselves. You can learn a bit more about DBT and psychoanalytic therapy in the FAQ section.

I am an active, engaged, compassionate therapist who will both support and challenge you as we collaborate toward your goals. Therapy can be a transformational experience and I’m honored to be working in this field. I pursue ongoing professional development and am always learning in order to enhance my work with clients.
