Work History
I offer an integrative approach to therapy grounded in psychodynamic theory, which promotes self exploration and lifelong growth. My clinical interests and areas of specialty include working with adolescents, adults, couples and families struggling with substance abuse, body focused repetitive behaviors, family and relationship conflict, trauma and anxiety. My work is focused on helping individuals to identify unhealthy patterns that may be inhibiting them from living a happy, healthy, and whole life. My goals are to support you in identifying and advocating for your needs and helping you to explore and cultivate meaning in your struggles.
