Bio:
At our core, I believe we are all relational beings. From infancy and throughout our lives, we strive to feel connected with others and accept ourselves more deeply. When these ties to self or others are threatened or disrupted, profound pain and suffering can result. As a psychologist, I aim to help you heal and restore the relationships that matter most, including how you relate to yourself. I am trained throughout the developmental spectrum and work with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. Perhaps you are looking at your child or adolescent and are confused by their behavior or at a loss for how to help them. Maybe you or an important relationship in your life is suffering and you feel stuck. Or you simply know that you could use extra support during a particularly difficult season of life. Whatever challenges you are facing, my goal is to meet you with genuineness, empathy, and the fundamental belief that each of us is doing the best we can with the resources we have available to us in any given moment. Together, we can work to better understand your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in the context in which they occur. Human emotion and behavior are purposeful and provide important information about our needs, values, and desires. When we can uncover and validate these driving forces, we are then able to shift emotional and relational patterns that may no longer serve us. As a therapist trained in several different modalities and techniques, the vehicle for these shifts may range from processing early attachment relationships to modifying unhelpful behaviors, practicing new ways of engaging with the most important people in our lives, and more. Regardless of how we work to meet your goals, my ultimate hope is to provide a warm, sensitively attuned, and responsive environment that allows for vulnerability, connection, and change.
