You can master out-of-control thoughts/feelings and transcend ingrained ways of being. I specialize in treating constellations of issues including emotion dysregulation, abandonment fear, vacillating or uncertain identity, and a proclivity for intense/unstable relationships. I also specialize in conditions with a bodily preoccupation such as eating disorders and health-related anxiety. I focus on treating patients who have been raised in environments that include emotional neglect, invalidation, and manipulation, as well as unrelenting parental standards, parental over-involvement, enmeshment, and other family boundary violations.
I take an interest in examining early life experiences and family of origin dynamics. I believe that present issues are better understood when considered in the context from which they originate. I value introspection and the cultivation of insight, exploring cognitive and emotional processes, and fostering awareness of personal and interpersonal patterns.
My objective is to help you function at your full potential and gain a sense of power over your mind and in your life. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, whether you want relief from debilitating symptoms, you’re feeling off, lost or stuck, or if you’re seeking greater meaning in life. I take the role of both a guide and a fellow traveler.
