I work psychodynamically which means we will get curious about your internal world as well as what’s going on around you in your life. We’ll look at what’s happened in the past in order to shed light on what’s happening for you in the present, and we’ll pay attention to unintentional habits that might be holding you back from living the way you want to live.​

​

Together we will create a space in which you feel seen, heard and safe to explore and express yourself. We will think about how you adapted to the world around you as you were growing and how those adaptations affect the way you feel about yourself now, and how you relate to the people and events in your life. Feelings that have been pushed down or cut off because they were too big to deal with at the time might come up and we will work through them together. 

​

Connecting with your internal experience allows you to get to know yourself better.  Sometimes this involves meeting emotional parts of yourself that you might be less familiar with, which can be challenging.  I am here to help you meet these challenges with compassion, and through acceptance of yourself as you are, to create the opportunity for growth and change.
