The process of therapy is most meaningful when you have a clear understanding of the work being done, and can see how a specific approach aligns with your values and goals. Because there are no one-size-fits-all solutions, ours will be a process of trying and tracking different approaches tailored to your individual needs, keeping the ones that help, and avoiding painful repetition of strategies that don't help. As a result, our work will always be a partnership, proceeding at a mutually agreed upon pace and direction toward clarity, understanding, and change.
My job is to help us pick strategies that are both effective and personally meaningful. I've seen that combination facilitate profound change in people of all ages and backgrounds, in settings including state prisons, outpatient rehabs, and Ivy League schools. Wherever you're at, know that change is possible, and that we'll figure out the process together.

Psychodynamic
Therapy is a wonderful space to build resilience. Through cultivating awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and sensations, we can break unwanted patterns of avoidance, reactivity, or shutting down. Through replacing judgment with mindfulness and self-criticism with self-compassion, we gain a greater sense of agency. Through understanding ourselves within our biological, social, and historical context, we are reminded of a shared humanity.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, creative, and down-to-earth. Together, we will identify the best tools for helping you build mind-body awareness, process past wounds, and cultivate a more compassionate, authentic sense of self.
