About

As we navigate our lives, we develop beliefs about ourself through our experiences. These beliefs have powerful effects on our sense of belonging, our attempts to receive love and affection, and our desires for intimacy. Feeling accepted and valued can result in a sense of self that approaches life with trust, confidence and flexibility. When difficult events arise, or we feel rejected and mistreated, the way we view ourself and our efficacy can be impacted. While we cannot change the experiences of our life, we can rewrite the meaning we assign to those experiences and free ourself from the associated distress.

I approach psychotherapy with compassion, respect for your autonomy and acceptance of your experiences. My goal is to support you in understanding how the experiences of your life have impacted your beliefs about who you are and to increase awareness about how your power of choice can be utilized to support emotional and psychological wellness.

My practice focuses on trauma, eating disorders and life transitions; while also working with more general presentations of anxiety, depression, mood swings, impulsivity, grief and loss, emotional regulation, and self-view. I value diversity and will encourage your personal identities; understanding that individual identities impacts our experiences.
