I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist who is focused on helping people achieve deep, long-lasting change. I am licensed as a pastoral counselor (KLPC). I have formal education in psychotherapy, philosophy, and theology, and I have advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy.

My philosophical interests include 19th and 20th century continental philosophy with a particular emphasis on French phenomenology. My theological interests includes early Christian theology with a particular focus on the patristics and asceticism.

All of this means that I am interested in questions of embodiment, experience, and ethics. How do we understand the layered and sometimes chaotic nature of our embodied experiences? How do we know what is true about ourselves and others? Where do our religious convictions come from and how do we navigate those moments where our experience conflicts with our convictions?

Clinically, this also means that I view every person who enters my consulting room as unique, complex, and layered. My job is listen carefully to both those elements of our minds that are clear and in focus and those that are hidden away. I both help to put words to experiences that were previously unknown and sit in and work through those experiences where words fail. In all things, my goal is to help clients experience more freedom to live more firmly into their values and have deep joy in work and play.
