Approach & About

In my experience, we often come to therapy when our tried-and-true solutions no longer work and our ways of moving forward have stalled. The surrounding circumstances are many and rarely straightforward. For example, we may come because a relationship has gone awry, because we feel unsatisfied at work, or because we don’t know how to let go. We may come because we are dogged by a sense we aren’t truly inhabiting our own life, or for reasons that elude us. Maybe we want more curiosity, play, and a sense of possibility. Whatever the impetus, we always come bearing some degree of hope that therapy will make a meaningful difference. We can be full of words and ideas and feelings, or find ourselves empty of them. In all cases, I believe we come primarily for an experience, not an explanation. 

My practice is founded on the assumption that we are imaginative and inclined toward growth. I see my job, in part, as creating the conditions for clients to discover their own version of the problem and its possible answers and in so doing, come to their own conclusions about what makes their life worth living. A piece of that work is helping folks explore how their past shapes their sense of self and way of being in the world. The therapeutic relationship itself - what happens between us - serves as a powerful epistemological tool for such exploration. Meaning, both client and therapist inhabit a dynamic field, and one of our tasks is to understand what’s going on within it. Research consistently shows that more than specialization or presenting issue, the quality of relationship (over time) is the single most important predictor of progress in treatment. In short, where the therapist and client make a good enough fit, the therapeutic bond can be a powerful site of change and healing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have extensive experience working with people grappling with difficult life transitions, relationship problems, addiction, grief and loss, trauma of many varieties, questions of identity, and existential conundrums. My background in social work helps me think about people holistically. Collaborative engagement, curiosity, and humility are related to this ethos and inform much of how I work. I am currently accepting new clients and welcome all, including folks who may have been misunderstood due to their sexuality, gender, relationship type, neurodiversity, non conforming body, disability, or lifestyle. Whether you come to me to address a long standing struggle or recent challenge, I would count it a great privilege to partner with you in this journey, one with no last stop.
