Often in therapy we work to bring what's unconscious into consciousness, which can create more agency, freedom, and choice. As both a psychotherapist and writer, I believe in the power of finding connections between that which is seemingly disconnected in order to uncover a deeper understanding of oneself and the way one relates to others and the world.
Utilizing a psychodynamic framework and relational lens, my work is informed by both psychoanalytic theories and Buddhist psychology. I invite particular attunement to and exploration of the therapeutic relationship itself. I believe in the importance of and empowering clients with psychoeducation and concrete coping skills.
I specialize in treating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, interpersonal relational difficulties, and life transitions and often work with artists, writers, creatives, and mothers. I will also incorporate psychedelic integration psychotherapy and Buddhist contemplative practices when appropriate.
