My Approach & Training
I am a psychoanalytically trained psychotherapist working from a relational perspective. My work centers on the belief that meaningful change happens through deepening our capacity to be in relationship—with ourselves, with others, and with the traces of our histories that continue to shape us.
My thinking is informed by both psychoanalysis and social theory, with attention to how identity, unconscious life, and broader cultural forces intertwine. I aim to create a warm, collaborative therapeutic space—one that welcomes contradiction, complexity, and the unfolding of inner life.
I earned my BA in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work. My postgraduate training includes a two-year fellowship in psychoanalysis through the Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis and two additional years of study at the Stephen Mitchell Center for Relational Studies. I am a member of Division 39, Section IV: Psychoanalysis and Social Responsibility, and have taught through the National Institute of the Psychologies.
