I offer a collaborative, exploratory approach to therapy. Together we work to understand patterns — in your relationships, in your inner world — that may be limiting your life. The process is slow by design, because real change unfolds over time.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic theory, with attention to how your past shapes your present, and how insight opens the door to genuine transformation.
Understanding the unconscious forces that shape how you feel, think, and relate to others.
Evidence-based methods rooted in decades of research on how change actually happens.
The slow, careful work of becoming more fully and authentically yourself.
Every person's experience is unique. I work with a range of concerns, with particular depth in the following areas.
Untangling the roots of anxious patterns and building a steadier relationship with uncertainty.
Understanding what lies beneath low mood — and finding pathways toward vitality and meaning.
Exploring how your history shapes how you connect, and building more satisfying bonds.
Moving toward a fuller, more integrated sense of self — bringing together the parts of you that feel fragmented or hidden.
Navigating change — career shifts, loss, new chapters — with greater clarity and groundedness.
Exploring how the bonds formed in childhood shape the way you love, trust, and see yourself today.
I believe that insight is the engine of transformation. When we truly understand ourselves — our defenses, our longings, the patterns that repeat — we gain the freedom to choose differently.
My role is not to give you answers, but to be a thoughtful, present partner in the work of self-discovery. Therapy here is not advice-giving or problem-solving — it is an invitation to know yourself more honestly and live more fully.
