And then the knowledge comes to me that I have space within me for a second, timeless, larger life.
R.M. Rilke, “ I Love My Being’s Dark Hours”

Welcome to the ConnectedSelf Clinic!

 
 

Providing in-person and virtual sessions.

Whether you're facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, or loss, know that you're not alone—these are all deeply human experiences. I offer a warm, genuine, and non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely, develop insight, and build the skills and self-trust needed for healing, growth, and acceptance.

As a psychodynamic social work psychotherapist with a rich background in the arts, I bring a whole-person approach to therapy—attending to the emotional, physical, mental, and existential aspects of your experience. My journey into understanding the human condition began in the world of contemporary dance, where I worked professionally for over 15 years. That embodied, expressive path led me to study relational psychoanalysis and depth psychology, completing a Master’s in Theory and Criticism, followed by a Master’s in Social Work.

I’ve been privileged to support many individuals in my years of practice as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. My post-graduate training includes Jungian analysis, Object Relations couple therapy, somatic psychotherapy, movement, and creative arts therapies.

My therapeutic style is person-centered, thoughtful, and creative. I work collaboratively with adults (18+) to explore life’s challenges and relationship dynamics. Together, we reflect on your life story—bringing gentle attention to the deeper layers of self that often hold the roots of suffering. In uncovering these layers, new awarenesses and pathways begin to emerge, leading to more clarity, choice, and alignment with your authentic self.

In addition to everyday concerns, I also welcome dreams, artistic expressions, and creative material into the therapy process as meaningful sources of insight and transformation.

My home office in Old North is a warm, comfortable setting designed to help you feel at ease for in-person sessions. I also offer virtual sessions, so you can connect from the comfort of your own space. However you choose to begin, I’m here to meet you with care and curiosity.

“Good psychotherapists are something like astronomers who spend their lives studying the stars, trying to find out why certain stellar systems behave as they do and why black holes exist. And at the end they are even more in awe of the grandeur of it all.”
