Approach

I practice from a psychodynamic relational lens. I listen closely to the wisdom of both the body and the mind while paying attention to what is transpiring in the therapeutic encounter.

​In other words, how we say something, what we leave out, what our bodies hold and know, and the ways in which we engage others is often where meaning is found. I am also deeply curious about how we are formed and informed by context - culture, race, religion, language, intergenerational dynamics, etc.
