I see therapy as a collaborative process of inquiry.

Often the problems that bring someone into treatment are not isolated symptoms but ways of living, relating, defending, adapting, or surviving that once made sense and no longer do. Therapy can make it possible to understand those patterns with greater depth and compassion, while also making room for something different. My work draws from relational psychotherapy, psychoanalytic theory, narrative therapy, family systems thinking, and parts work. I am interested in how people come to know themselves through relationships, how social and family worlds shape psychic life, and how change becomes possible when experience can be thought about, felt, and metabolized in a new way.

I try to offer a style that is engaged, reflective, and direct without being rigid. I value curiosity, humility, and humor, and I aim to create a space where clients can examine both immediate difficulties and the deeper histories that inform them.

I work especially well with people who feel caught in repeating relational patterns, who struggle with intimacy or isolation, who are living through transitions, or who are trying to understand the effects of trauma, loss, or family experience on their present lives. I also work with clients around sexuality, gender, non-monogamy, creativity, and questions of identity, vocation, and meaning.

My orientation is also shaped by an anti-oppressive and socially aware perspective. I believe emotional life cannot be separated from the worlds in which people live, and that experiences of marginalization, constraint, and power matter clinically.
