Helping People Get Back to Themselves
Thank you for visiting my website. Here, you can learn more about my psychodynamic psychotherapy practice. While I primarily work with psychodynamic approaches to support a wide range of individuals, I have experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and with integrating Buddhism and DBT techniques into my work. My goal is to help you navigate emotions, foster self-understanding, and build a stronger connection with your body.
