ABOUT ME
“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.”
— E. E. Cummings
My work is informed by my training in psychoanalysis and focusing. I strive to create a strong connection between us and to help you form a deeper connection with yourself. We will work together to help you develop a more expansive and hopeful view of life.

Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is one approach to understanding human behavior and psychology. Psychoanalysis has three premises: That each person is a unique individual; that there are factors outside of a person’s awareness that influence that person’s thoughts and actions; an individual's past contributes to and shapes the present.
Focusing
Focusing is a technique used in psychotherapy and counseling to encourage you to listen to your inner voice. It helps you slow down in mind and body. This increases your sensitivity to what you are experiencing both emotionally and physically. This psychotherapy technique is a wonderful way to learn to honor your instincts.
