If you carry loss, trauma, or struggle and are looking for deeper understanding rather than quick fixes, psychodynamic therapy provides a space for connection and self-acceptance. Rather than treating the symptoms of depression, anxiety, ocd or eating-disorders, therapy will support you to connect to yourself in new ways. Daring to be grounded in your emotional life, also opens up avenues for growth through loss, questions around identity, loss of purpose and major life transitions.

Through integrated psychodynamic, somatic, and existential approaches, I help you understand recurring patterns and develop authentic relationships. Specializing in loss, trauma, masculinity, and neurodivergent experiences, I offer weekly sessions where insights emerge naturally through collaborative exploration and bodily awareness.

If you feel the urge for this in your life right now, please get in touch and we can schedule an initial call.
