If you're stuck fighting old patterns that won't change despite your best efforts, you may need the help of a depth therapist. 

 I specialize in working with people who have been in therapy before, but found that it hasn't helped them go deep enough. For example, many of my clients have come to therapy already knowing how significant childhood experiences impacted them, but they may not see how these insights apply to their present-day life. 

I help people to notice ways that the past is alive in the present, hidden in plain sight, and how to work with the beliefs and self-protective barriers they've constructed that get in the way of living a fuller, richer life. 

I offer a balance of support and challenge, because I believe that effective therapy requires both meeting you where you are, and helping you see what is possible.

I work with individuals and groups, and find that often a combination of both can be optimal for clients who really want to dig in and get to the bottom of things.

My training is a blend of Existential-Humanistic (here-and-now focused), Psychodynamic (past-focused), and Trauma-focused therapies (including certification in the trauma processing technique EMDR).
