I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine, collaborative relationship—one where you can speak freely and be met with curiosity rather than judgment. My approach is thoughtful and attuned, helping you make sense of patterns, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way and work toward a deeper understanding that can open up new possibilities for how you relate to yourself and others.

Treatment Approach
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
Approach Description: My approach to therapy is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in a deep respect for each person’s unique experience. I draw from psychodynamic and relational perspectives, focusing on understanding the patterns—often outside of awareness—that shape how you feel, think, and relate to others. At the same time, I aim to stay flexible and responsive to what you need in the moment.
Rather than offering quick fixes or rigid techniques, we’ll take time to explore what’s underneath the surface, making connections between past experiences and present challenges. Through this process, the goal is to deepen self-understanding, expand your range of emotional responses, and create more choice in how you move through your life and relationships.

My practice is grounded in the belief that meaningful change grows out of a thoughtful, collaborative relationship. I offer a space where you can slow down, speak openly, and feel genuinely understood. Rather than focusing only on immediate symptoms, I pay close attention to the patterns beneath them—how past experiences, relationships, and internal dynamics shape the way you think, feel, and respond in the present.
Our work together is guided by curiosity and attunement. I listen carefully for both what is said and what may be harder to put into words, helping you make connections that can bring greater clarity and self-awareness. Over time, this deeper understanding can create more flexibility in how you relate to yourself and others, allowing for shifts that feel meaningful and lasting.
I work with individuals facing a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and questions about identity and purpose. Therapy can also be a place to explore longstanding patterns—such as self-criticism, feeling stuck, or struggling to sustain fulfilling connections—that may not have been fully understood before.
Sessions are tailored to your needs and pace, whether we are meeting in person or through secure online therapy. My aim is to create a steady, reliable environment where you can reflect, explore, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and intentional.
