“Understanding oneself feels real only when borne of experiencing”
— Thomas Ogden
Relational Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychotherapy is an invitation into a deeper relationship with yourself.
It is a bold and courageous thing to seek support.
It is a tender thing to acknowledge pain.
It is a daring thing to believe healing is possible,
and it is possible.
It is my belief that we heal in the context of relationships. The therapeutic relationship offers a unique and exploratory space. Together, we will enter a collaborative experience where your narrative and expertise of your story will be met with witness, compassion, and curiosity.
We will use the therapeutic relationship to engage the ‘wild and precious’ being that is you.

Therapy is a place of bending. Not breaking.
I understand my role as a therapist to be one that is attuned, compassionate, curious, and gently forthright. It’s my intention to facilitate a contained space where you might feel both safe and brave enough to bring the parts of yourself that are deeply human. It is my hope that, through relationship, you may come to know a fuller sense of yourself.
