Feeling lost in the throes of life's deepest challenges? Whether it's from a sudden life changing event or the cumulation of years' worth of stressors and trauma, you may be feeling stuck, hopeless, or alone. I specialize in working with people who feel in this "stuck" place. Here, I will meet you in a point of connection. I often work with clients who are struggling with grief, challenging relationships, infidelity, or who are struggling to connect with themselves and to the world. My clients often want to feel "re-awakened" and for the pain of feeling alone to stop.

I offer a uniquely specialized relational approach. My work is eclectic but deeply rooted in psychodynamic theory. I will gather a thorough history of your life story to build insight into your patterns and ways of being. Together, we will uncover your stuck points and begin to discover ways to enact meaningful change in your life.

I recognize how difficult it can be to examine the hardest parts of yourself. I strive to make it feel manageable and to build hope that it will not be this challenging forever. If you are interested in working together, I offer a complimentary phone or video consultation call to begin your journey.
