My Approach to Helping

I draw upon interventions from psychoanalytic psychotherapy, attachment focused therapy, emotionally focused therapy, radical acceptance, and health at every size. As an attachment focused therapist, my therapeutic work with clients centers around helping people better understand how attachment wounds and early experiences of caregiving impact relationships later in life, both with ourselves and with others. I have extensive training and personal experience in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and I believe strongly in the use of transference in the therapeutic relationship. Through my own personal and professional work, I have learned that some of the most transformative and healing work can be accomplished simply by exploring our connection as therapist and client.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I received my Masters in Social Work from New York University, a program known for its clinical and psychoanalytic focus. My graduate coursework allowed me to explore the intersections between psychoanalysis, queer theory, critical race theory, and their implications on clinical work. I have over ten years of experience providing therapy in community mental health agencies as a child and family therapist and have been in private practice since 2015. Outside of my work, I am a dedicated adventurer and spend as much time as I can bicycle touring, skiing, and surfing. I enjoy bringing this same enthusiasm, energy, and love of exploration into my clinical work.
