Surviving is hard. As we grow, old schema binding thoughts, emotions, and embodied feelings reactivate in ways that can stop us in our tracks. Maybe you have a sense of the problems you’d like to solve. Maybe you’re struggling with feelings that don’t have a clear origin. Integrating the science of attachment, trauma and recovery, and cognitive-behavioral change within a contemporary psychodynamic frame, my approach centers you, prizing a full, collaborative understanding of the many ways your present relates to your personal and cultural histories, whose reawakening in treatment create opportunities for repair and restoration.
​
Striving to dwell in your unique experience, stressing the reality and lasting impacts of adversity and oppression, and prioritizing your empowerment, I am always in your corner. I will help you to more adaptively hold difficulty in connection, even between us, gradually transforming nodes of chronic conflict (internal and/or interpersonal) into engines of sustainable relational growth. I provide a space in which to define your goals, develop your strengths, and realize change. Together, we will build a safe, reparative environment optimized for your healing.
