As a depth-oriented therapist we will uncover and explore unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so you can be more conscious of what's holding you back from being who you want to be. Unconscious dynamics are often influenced by our past experiences and relationships and can have visceral impacts in the present moment. My approach to therapy is characterized by a blend of directness, playfulness, engagement, and nurturance. I believe that purposeful curiosity and self-exploration leads to a sense of identity and purpose and an understanding of our place in the world.
I treat individuals wanting to address anxiety and stress, relationship issues, self esteem, addiction, childhood trauma, depression, family conflicts, spirituality, codependency, bipolar disorder, anger, grief, and life transitions - if you're wanting a therapist that is curious, knowledgeable, creative, direct, and compassionate, you're in the right place.
Starting therapy can be challenging and finding the right therapist is a fundamental component to successful outcomes. I offer a 15-minute phone consultation where I can learn a bit more about your experience while answering any questions you might have. When appropriate, I offer hypnotherapy in addition to traditional psychotherapy.
Additional areas of focus: Attachment issues, Communication problems, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Self-love
