What’s it like to work with you?‍

People I’ve worked with have shared that I provide a warm and non-judgemental space for them to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. 
‍
If we work together, you’ll quickly see that I’m interested in learning about your dreams, imagination, creativity, life experiences, and relationships.

What services do you offer?

I offer weekly psychotherapy or play therapy sessions that are 50-minutes long and can be attended in-person or remotely. 

What informs your approach?

My approach to therapy is informed by my training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Jungian-oriented therapy, Jungian Sandplay therapy, and non-directive play therapy.

How can I get started?

We can begin by scheduling a 20-minute free consultation. I’ll share a little about how I work, ask you a few questions, and see if it feels like a good time to schedule the first appointment.
