Meet Remi

I work with warmth, directness, and genuine curiosity. My approach is psychodynamic and attachment-based. We slow down together and pay attention to what keeps showing up in your relationships, patterns, and sense of self. My role is to be present and help connect the threads of your history and experience. Many people I work with have tried other approaches and found that something still persists. My eclectic approach invites genuine, meaningful change because we work beyond the symptoms and get to the root of suffering, burden, and distress.

My role is to be present and help connect the threads of your history and experience.
