CLINICAL SUPERVISOR
SENIOR PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Available for virtual sessions.

In the landscape of our evolving technological world, human connection continues to be irreplaceable and essential to interpersonal healing and grounding. My primary aim is to develop a true connection with a client, to meet in that mutually human space, and begin to chart a course for self understanding and inner work. I believe in the power of culture, myth, laughter and metaphor to explore a client's issues. Moving between the relational and the structural, I am available to explore new horizons, expand emotional capacity and demonstrate the healing power of therapeutic alliance.

Engagement and curiosity on a fundamental level weigh equally with practical application of CBT, problem focused and evidence based techniques. Drawing from Jungian, Humanistic and Existential theory, I specialize in intimacy issues, anxiety, depression, struggle with family, issues related to trouble making meaning out of life and finding purpose.

Please feel free to email me with any questions. I would be happy to provide a phone consultation to see if we are a good fit and start from there.
