About me
I am an psychodynamic therapist offering unique approaches for unique clients, blending elements of the Narrative, Humanistic, and Cognitive Behavioral schools of thought. In addition I am trauma-informed and during my time working with the Crisis Connections hotline I built skills to help people in times of serious and immediate need.
My calling is to help people who feel lost, hopeless, afraid, or like they don't know what they need, but need something. I work with adults, teenagers, children, elders, and others as individuals, or as couples and additionally in other polypartnerships. More personally I was a therapy patient for many years and found that to be incredibly powerful and life-changing, which brought me to this path. I like cooking and karaoke and I dabble in a wide range of hobbies from hiking to table-top gaming to contact juggling to creative writing and many others. I also have three pro-bono slots available for those who need more affordable options for their mental health.
