Approach to Treatment: I utilize a psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed integrative approach to assist clients in increasing awareness of the nuances of their inner worlds with curiosity and compassion.

Ultimately, I hope to facilitate a greater sense of agency, peace, and fulfillment for my clients.
