We all inherit ways of moving through the world that we are prone to take for granted. For this reason, we can find ourselves feeling stuck, repeating patterns, unable to find a way out. As you convey your struggles, I reflect and query the narratives you share to help you demystify them. This process both validates your experience and gently challenges you to look with a new perspective where you might find greater agency.  

My approach is informed by relational, feminist, and psychodynamic lenses. My aim is not to adapt you to the world, but to collaborate with you to find the unique ways you can confidently and authentically engage its impositions. As trust builds between us, we become able to explore your internal and interpersonal patterns that restrict possibilities in your life. My sessions are conversational, but my reflections and questions aim to take us in a direction you would likely not go while conversing with a friend or loved one.

In my work, I often hear paradoxes of human experience — the desire for freedom and stability, the need for growth and safety, the longing for erotic excitement and familiar comfort. I find such paradoxes a fruitful place to upturn well-worn narratives that my clients find constricting and unhelpful.
